Movie & TV Watching Update
Haven’t really written here lately about TV shows or movies I am watching, so thought I would add a quick update.
During Work: Still going through Spin City. Since my x-5pm time schedule, I’ve been working a lot harder so haven’t really watched much of it. I’m about halfway through season 6, with 10 episodes left. After this I am not sure but will most likely start Just Shoot Me assuming I can get every episode of it. I’ve caught some episodes on syndication, and forgot how good that show actually was.
After Work: The SERIOUS time, where it is TIME FOR SERIOUS TV SHOWS. The Sopranos is almost done – I’m just turning on the Season 4 Finale while I eat my frosted flakes, so 2 seasons left. I gotta say that while I love the Sopranos – I have quite a few complaints too. Like the way something big will happen then it is not followed up on till 4 episodes later is ridiculous. Hell, sometimes they don’t even follow up on it at all.
Also things just happen out of nowhere – and not in the good way. A character will appear, be on the show for a bunch of episodes and them out of nowhere they just disappear. It’s the weirdest thing, and can be quite frustrating. It’s still a great show, but it’s not without its faults.
After The Sopranos – well we still have The Shield to go through – stuck on Season 4 there and have to start watching it soon. I’ll then hit up Dexter Season 3.
Movie wise I’ve been posting my reviews on NPP. I’ll just copy/paste those:
Lakeview Terrace – Really enjoyed the majority of this movie. Slow but well paced, and the build up was great….almost too great, as the third act ends up being a big disappointment. Also one of those movies that on the surface are pretty decent, but if you sit back and dissect you notice a lot of problems and holes in it. Still, Samuel L. was pretty fantastic in it. *** Movielens predicted ***, Criticker ***1/2.
Also how the hell do you get Patton Oswalt into a movie then have him utter like two fucking lines? I can’t even rate this flick it was so fucking bad.
Wanted: The first 20-30 minutes of this was pretty cool and got me pumped – the rest of the movie was a huge letdown. It was like they had all these cool ideas then blew them all in the first 1/3 of the movie – then had to come up with stuff for the next 2/3. Jolie was pretty good in it though,and I can watch the scene where she picks the hero up in the car with that sick sick move again and again. **
Hot Rod: Pretty damn funny movie, and the casting of Isla Fisher was as usual sheer genius. I love her so much. ***1/2
Also holy shit visually this was just amazing, and thank god for High Definition. ***1/2Update from Twitter

Yo Quiero De Taco Bell
Everyone who knows me knows that I am a huge taco bell fan. I used to eat it all the time, and if there was one close to me – well, I still would. As it is I only eat fast food once or twice a month tops now, however my #1 choice is always Taco Bell.
Unfortunately the taco bell I go to I haven’t been happy with lately. Just general errors like putting beef on my fries supreme when I ask for fries, giving me beef instead of chicken tacos etc. I have been too lazy to complain about it until yesterday.
I ordered this:
And I got this:
Not quite the same, is it?

I’m now a 9-5er
Or more accurately, an x-5er.
I was thinking a lot about my life lately. I’m an admitted workaholic, and it’s not uncommon for me to be working from the second i wake up until I head to bed. To be honest, I’ve always felt like I was working towards something – where sometine in the near future, I would be able to basically “retire” – I’d have a staff that would deal with all my websites, and I could sit back and reap the benefit of years of hard work, in a basic semi-retirement.
Who the fuck am I kidding???
There’s a reason why even in their 70s you still see actors in movies. Or why the likes of Mick Foley still wrestle. Or why Donald Trump is still working his ass off every day. It’s because they love what they do, and I’m the same way. I fucking love my job. Even if I DID get all my work done, and had websites for every domain I own – I’d be out the very next day buying more domains, building more websites, running more PPC campaigns etc. It’s because this is what I do – and I love it.
So I had to rethink things, because if I kept it the way I was I’d be working all day every day until I was dead. So over the weekend I decided that every day, I will quit working at 5pm. There’s no set time to start work – it’s whenever I feel like it. Some days I’ll start work at 6am, others at 10am – and other days I may not even bother working. But the main thing is at 5pm every day, my computer is turned off and won’t be turned on until the next morning.
I’ve tried things like this before – like working only 4 days a week, things like that. It’s never really worked out though. This is the first time where I’m actually really feeling good about my decision. I’ve did it Monday and Tuesday already this week and it felt great. It has been a very nice feeling turning off my computer at 5pm, and knowing I won’t be on it till the next day. It also made me more productive during the day knowing that I have a quitting time.
That’s pretty much life for me at the moment – now if you don’t mind I gotta get back to work – only 5 and a half hours till I’m done for the day!
