Wow guys, this is pretty late, huh? Sorry bout that!
Movies Silver Linings Playbook - It may be the most accessible Oscar nominee to watch, but that doesn’t preclude it from being just astonishingly well acted. Jennifer Lawrence and Bradley Cooper turned in fantastic performances. I have a hard time imagining a person who would dislike this movie.
TV New Girl - Who thought I’d ever utter the words, “I’m gonna miss Olivia Munn…” Loved the pogo stuff from this week’s ep.
Archer - I didn’t really love the first episode, but it cracked me the hell up. Great stuff.
Happy Endings - I really dug the “other friends”. It’s a stock conceit, but Happy Endings usually puts a unique enough spin on that type of thing where I don’t mind it.
One Piece - I’ve got something like 260 episodes to go to catch up to the present.
Girls - The premiere was really strong. The second episode less so, but this show is still top notch. Some shows have unlikeable casts that aren’t believable. I know a lot of these people…
Music
I really dig “Apocalypse Dreams” by Tame Impala
Books A Confederacy of Dunces - This book is really starting to come together. The cast is converging and it’s all gonna culminate on this political rally. I can’t wait.
Video Games XCOM: Enemy Unknown - That free Second Wave DLC is super awesome, but man are its modifiers tough. That Red Mist one makes it near impossible, but I love it anyway.
Sleeping Dogs - Not really grabbing me. I should just burn through to the end…
Hotline Miami - Beat the main story. Pretty fun game. The bonus missions are tough, but I think I’ll manage. Gotta get the secret password too.
Borderlands 2 - Still having fun, but it’s tough to get everyone together sometimes. I really should take the time to level up Gaige since she’d be more fun to play, I think. On the flip side, the healer role I kind of have with Maya is fun too.
FTL - I came so close to getting the Stealth Ship. I don’t want to talk about it…
