The flu has had me on the dark side for the past 4 days, a flu I'm sure had nothing at all to do with standing out in negative temperatures for 25 minutes last Thursday night to see Bon Iver play the Turf Club (totally worth every minute of the cold, btw). Definitely my favorite show of 2008, even if it's the only show I've seen in 2008 so far. But it's only January so there's a whole lotta rockin' to be had on my 2008 dance card.
Still cloudy in the head and just moving past that whole laryngitis thing (did you know people still get that? cuz I totally do whenever I get sick) so let's keep it all over the map today, que non?
+ Bad news first eventhough it shouldn't come as a major shock to anyone who's as excited about bloody, brutal, gorey, violent, sexually deviant MMOs of 2008 on the tips of everyone's tongues: Age of Conan has been pushed back, again, from March to May. Shocking. So like, does this mean Warhammer and Age of Conan are coming out the same weekend, which also happens to be the same weekend of the Indiana Jones movie? I swear Mythic and Funcom are having a chicken contest. "No you first, NO YOU, hahaha pwnt noobz."
+ I'm shooting film again. This one deserves its own blog post, which it will get, soon.
+ Hey, did you know I also have a mini link blog on this site? Cuz I totally do and there's some surprisingly good content in it. It's right in the middle of the page in a very forgettable position. Apparently there's been some massive confusion about all the RSS feeds up and in this joint so let me lay it down for you:
I trust you'll do the right thing.
+ I got a Wii and it is [RIDICULOUSLY] good. Games acquired: Super Mario Galaxy, Legend of Zelda, Mario Party 8, Guitar Hero III, and of course Wii Sports. Wii Sports is like crack and should be avoided at all costs. Even when you're bowling and find out that as a pro you get a PINK BOWLING BALL covered in SHINY STARS ... step away from the Wii. Someone gave me Guitar Hero III for the Wii and I was all, "Blah blah blah FINE I'LL TAKE IT" cuz everyone can't stop talking about this stupid game. And I looked at the silly guitar and thought to myself, "This is so dumb." But then I started playing along with Pat Benetar. And Kiss. And Poison. And you know what? It doesn't suck. In fact it's kind of fun. So much fun you find yourself wanting to unlock more and more songs just to see what else is hiding in there. *sigh* Fine I'll say it: I like Guitar Hero III.
+ There's a contest going on, have you heard about this one? Vita.mn is looking for the Most Eligible Bachelors and Bacheloretes of the Twin Cities. Are you or is someone you know one of these people? If so, why aren't you nominating them right now? There will be a cover story written about them, a party at Soundbar (did I mention there are rumors of an OPEN bar?? - that's totally between you and me btw), other phat lootz, and bragging rights to go around. The first round of voting starts later this week - check back often and vote your faves up (or down, whatever your flavor). We'll make it worth your time. Promise.
+ The Lili's Burlesque show photos are done and I'll be uploading them to flickr any day now. You know you can't help yourself, they're delicious.
Time for more medication, thanks for hanging in there.

Hahaha!!! I *knew* you'd like Guitar Hero.
First, talking you into shooting film. Now, Guitar Hero. I'm getting pretty good at convincing you of my wonderful ideas. ;-)
Totally played Guitar Hero on New Years Eve, the only reason I stopped playing was my drunk self was having to much fun....moderation in everything.
OK, first things first. If I am refusing to blame MY flu on that waiting-in-line-with-no-coat-in-negative-temperatures-to-see-Bon-Iver incident, then you gotta stick with me on it. My story is that I caught this bug at WORK, not trying to live out my rock-n-roll lifestyle. Got it? ;)
Also, I KNEW you would like Guitar Hero. You just wait until I force you to come over and play Rock Band. You will love those drums as well.
I can't wait til that Bon Iver is re-released next month. (can you think of a better month than a Minnesota February for the release of that record?)
