First Tuesday of 2010

So it's the first Tuesday of the new year at this time of the year no artists really release much new music... you'll have to settle for movies and video games I guess while you're couped up from the cold. Well, at least I'm couped up from the cold, I realize that some people don't mind it as much as I do. I just hate it. I actually forced myself to go running yesterday, because my body was literally freaking out since it'd been a week from my last run and let's just say that over my long weekend I spent a whole lot of time on the couch eating a whole lot, drinking plenty of beer, reading and watching the boob tube and such. Not real healthy. Well I wrapped up like Maggie Simpson in her little star jumpsuit and managed to force myself out in the weather, mid-30s with a bit of wind just past sunset, and sure enough I thought they were going to have to send the St. Bernard with some brandy on his collar. No, really, I wish someone would have! I managed to get 2 1/2 miles in before I came home and whined for an hour. Hell I guess I'm still whining. But I'll be doing again later in the week so I'll shut up now.

On to the new stuff! Musically, bleh. Elvis' 75th birthday is Jan. 8 so there's another compilation CD out from the King, sort of like a condensed version of the box set out just before Christmas so it's a nice little collection I guess.

* Elvis Presley ~ "Elvis 75: Good Rockin' Tonight" (single CD; box set released Dec. 8, 2009)

Only 1 movie that I want to get and I missed it in the theater:

* The Final Destination DVD (horror/thriller)

And a couple of excellent looking games that I may pick up when they get way cheaper later in the year:

* Bayonetta ~ Video Game X360/PS3 (action-adventure story in which Bayonetta, a reborn witch, will have to battle angels with unique "witch-like abilities" and guns equipped to her hands and feet)

* Darksiders: Wrath of War ~ Video Game X360/PS3(play as one of the four Horseman of the apocalypse in this action adventure game)
