rubinville

The roomate and I beat Baldur's Gate II a couple days ago. The game was highly repetitive and not that difficult, so unfortunately I cannot give it my recommendation. I know many of you come to Rubinville for video game recommendations and if I don't say it like it is than I'm no better than all those well-known video game reviewers who are compromised by industry connections.

I promise you that will never happen to me.

Oh yea, today's Rubinville is brought to you by EA Games. Challenge Everything.

Speaking of EA Games, we are now playing Lord of the Rings: Return of the King. So far its pretty cool but I am having a little trouble typing at the moment because of "gamer thumb".

Caught a few minutes of the congressional hearing on steroids this morning. I'll pass on my commentary until some of the big baseball players testify, but don't you think that somewhere, in some cave, probably somewhere near Tora Bora, that Osama bin Laden is watching this on satellite TV and thinking that America is unravelling all on it's own?

And now a Rubinville Trial Update...

Robert Blake is free. Scott Peterson is on death row. Michael Jackson is wearing pajamas. And I'm sitting on my couch.

It's St. Patricks Day today, which means all of my Irish friends are out drunk and it's not even lunch time. Actually, it's just like any other day.

That was so hack that I could barely write it.

And yet I did, what does that say?

Played some 3 on 3 hoops last night with a bunch of old friends from high school. Dan Magier, a fine point guard if I've ever seen one, turned his ankle pretty bad and is now day to day. But really, who isn't day to day? I'm hour to hour, at best.

Having a lot of moments of feeling completely inspired and then alternately depressed about how things are or are not shaking out. I wonder if it's that constant balancing act that keeps an artist, of any kind, on the top of their game.

Or maybe thats just whats keeps crazy people crazy.

If you fear that journalism in America has lost it's edge, I'd recommend checking out Andrew Tavani's blog at www.andrewtavani.blogspot.com. This is a man who makes my balancing act look like I'm in Circe de Soliel.

Alright, I'm heading to Central Park for some "thinking time".
