Happy Birthday Dad!

The whole family got together this past Saturday at Mom and Dad’s house in celebration of Dad’s birthday. We had a cookout dinner, presents, cake and some entertaining rounds of Guitar Hero. We couldn’t talk Dad into giving the game a try, but he did seem to enjoy watching. Maybe next time we’ll be able to convince him to strap a guitar on. :)

Reminds me of The Go! Team with half of the bouncy happiness drained out and replaced with M.I.A.

Last watched:

The Wrestler

Director: Fox Searchlight

If there's one thing Aronofsky knows how to do, it's how to portray bleakness.

Reading:

Anathem

Author: Neal Stephenson

One of my favorite things about this book is that in this fictional world there are names given to ideas that ought to have names in the real world. For instance, Diax's Rake is the idea that you shouldn't believe something just because you want to. The name itself isn't that important, but I like that Stephenson recognizes that some ideas deserve to be acknowledged.

Playing:

Red Dead Redemption

Publisher: Rockstar Games

Like GTA in the Old West, but so far, more interesting. I just hope that the buddy characters don't require the same kid-gloved hand-holding from GTA4.
