GAMES: GameSpot GameFAQs MOVIES: Metacritic Movietome Comic-Con
Monday, Jul 21, 2008

You know those headlines from other CNet affiliates right below your username box at the top of the page? Some of the ones for CBS are nuts. I saw one yesterday that said "Don't go outside and enjoy the sun" - clicking it took me to the CBS daytime schedule. Just now, I saw one that said "High definition is better than real life," which took me to their selection of HD videos.

Either the writer of those tags is clueless, or he's deliberately making fun of CBS. Either way, I love it. Some of the tags for other sites have been great as well, such as the link to P Diddy's review of Hancock. I know they're blatant ads, but I like them.

Anyway, I've been busy lately, working a few 50-hour weeks, going to weddings on the weekends, hanging out with people all day on Sundays. I just got another job, too, so I'll be busy for the rest of the summer.

Thanks to those who have kept me in the loop while I've been busy - remmbermytitans for giving me the lowdown on E3, JAB991 for giving me some Wii forum info, bob_newman for checking up on me. I appreciate it.

Wow sure does seem like you've been busy. How many weddings have you been too this Summer?

Four weddings, I think, beginning May 10. I've been a best man, a groomsman, an usher, and a guest.

I generally don't notice them, there's too few. I'll click on one every now and then, but usually not.

At least your keeping busy in summer. I haven't done much besides going to movies and being with friends.. and now all my friends are gone and I'm still unemployed -- though I might be close to getting a part time job.

Enjoy the rest of the summer!

You know what I really like those tags up at the corner too, I click them every now and then too. It's weird cause while you're having a crazy summer, my summer has been very easy. I haven't been to work in 3 months, (long story) and just about everyday I've been either at my girlfriend's house, or she's been at my house. And as of today, I've only got 39 days before I make a move from California to Arizona for University. Did you at least catch the new Batman movie? If not, you need to squeeze some room for it.

I went a summer without work a couple years ago, too. That was never my intention, but things fell through and all that. I enjoyed it, though. I knew it'd be the last time I'd be able to relax like that for a loooooong time.

I did see Batman on Sunday afternoon. I loved it.

Yeah, just making sure you're not dead. The boards lose a lot of cred when you're not posting as much.

LOL, those ads do sound funny

You are a busy bee, JordanElek. And you're welcome for giving you Wii forum info.

Time to repost the "best of Wii forums" yet?
Posted Aug 21, 2008 11:03 am PT
Nope. I just picked up another job and I start school next week. It was fun while it lasted, but I just can't afford to spend the time needed to compile that segment any more.

It's been a while since I have seen you around, came to see if you were still around and found this blog. Man, you have to be tired. Hopefully one of those jobs ends when you go to school? I couldn't possibly think of 2 jobs + school. Well, I guess I could, but I wouldn't expect to ever see them around again. Good luck.
