New Years Eve
Spent New Years Eve at my parents watching Dexter season 01. So far I find The character of Dexter fascinating but the plot silly and typical of bad soap opera television. His brother, really?!
I was glad I didnt go out this New Years. If my commute home was any indication of the night life, it was amateur night. The walk home was quite with an occasional drunk puking up his over priced New Years Eve drinks in the gutter and himself.

Business of Death
30 Rock Season 2
Twenty two minutes of uninterrupted hilarious morsels of brainless entertainment is the best way to describe 30 Rock. Perfect for those moments you want to be entertained but don't have two hours to spend on a movie.
Three Stars
Instead of getting off my ass and enjoying the wonderfully odd spring like weather I sat in my living room playing Modern Warfare 2 Special Ops. I tried so hard to pull myself away but couldn't find the inner strength necessary. MW2's siren song is so intoxicating.
I firmly believe only true video games geeks know the sheer bliss of achieving 3 stars on a mission, it's glorious.
30 Rock Season 01
Based on a friends recommendation I spent all day watching 30 Rock streamed via Netflix to my Xbox 360 (pure bliss). My favorite gag on the show is Spooky Bar Mitzvah.
Christmas Day
Santa was so good to me this year. He got me everything I wanted including: Terminator 2 Skynet Edition on Blu-ray, God of War Collection for the PS3 and the most amazing laptop bag from Cole Haan.
Christmas Eve
Spent the morning at work slaving away before heading to my parents place to gorge on my moms food and Panettone (Italian fruit cake).
Netflix + Xbox 360 + PS3
Last year I decided to try streaming video content from Netflix on to my Xbox 360 and hated it due to the following:
- Quality was comparable to a DVD which I found disappointing
- The movie selection was terrible
- You have to setup everything up on your computer, BOOO!!!
A full year later and they finally worked out the kinks and I can now say I'm in love.
Sadly, the PS3 integration is an utter train wreck from a usability standpoint.
