We watched Avatar yesterday, ya know the movie about those blue thingamajigs.
I wasn’t to interested in this movie, never was. But now that I have seen it I think it was a pretty okay movie, much better than I thought it would be. But I still can’t see why some people hype this as the best thing that has ever been made.
Really, I can’t see why, but hey… I guess that’s just me. An enjoyable movie nonetheless, but no masterpiece for me at least. Pandora was at least a very beautiful planet and the environments where incredible good.

Tomorrow its back to work, can’t say I’m looking forward to it all that much. I would have needed one more day to rest up. I fell yesterday when we where, going to the cinema. I fell in the stairs and landed on my left shoulder, that I already had a bit of a pain in… So it didn’t make things better, hope it gets better otherwise I’ll have to contact a doctor. And speaking of doctors, on Tuesday I’m finally going to the skin-clinic and hope I get some help with my “psoriasis“.
You can a picture of it here, you are warned it ain’t pretty. You have been warned.

Oh and Thanks ZX-Omega who got me this figures for a very cheap price! My Xenosaga Collection keeps growing. These are the Xenosaga Motion Revive figures of T-elos and KOS-MOS. Will probably never be removed from their boxes!

Today we’ve been pretty slow, we are just waiting to get some pizza. Yay, kebab-pizza with garlic sauce! Yum. As I’m writing this ZX-Omega has fallen asleep, guess he didn’t enjoy to wake up early today. Well can’t blame him really. Guess he need his rest, we are going to watch Avatar later. Never seen it, just heard a bunch of stuff about it.
I’m looking forward to see what I think of the movie, my first guess is that I won’t like it all that much. So I’ll write back later after I’ve seen it to see If my gut feeling is right.
Yeah, not very excited about this movie, but I give every movie one chance at least.

Heh, he had also ordered two things for me. I’m glad he did, they where so worth the 20SEK he made me pay for them. What are they? Well, I’d rather show you. So when I’m home tomorrow again, the first thing I’ll do is take a picture. This is really nothing special, but I’m happy. I also traded a new HDMI-cable with him, he needed a new since his old one was dying. And he gave me his Dead Space for PS3, well he said he was never going to play it and I probably will play it again. So we everybody got something that made us happy. It was his idea with the trade!
Well enough of the ramblings for now, I have to see if I can wake him up so we can go get something to eat. I’m so hungry right now and bored, I also want to watch Avatar.

If there is something to be happy about it that I’m going to meet with a skin specialist to take a look at my “Psoriasis” and finally I might get the right treatment I need. Don’t know when I will be called, but that things have started moving there is great at least.

Well this week has started so great, hopefully it will be better… A meeting with the bosses tomorrow, get to hear what they think of me and the work I’ve done. Hope its good news, I can’t take more bad stuff right now. Feels like my head is about to blow.
Wonder what I should play now? Guess I’ll have to wait until 3D Dot Game Heroes is released. At least I’m going to see Iron Man 2 on Friday with ZX-Omega, he took pity on me an treated me to the movie. So I have that to look forward to.

So I went for another meeting at ***** yesterday and the guy there went through some more rules and stuff. Nothing I can talk about since I had to sign a confidentiality paper. So I can’t talk shit about what I do, I don’t think I can even say if I have a good or bad time there. I just need to shut up about those parts, sadly.
One more meeting on Monday and after that I guess its time to start with some sort of work there, don’t know yet. But we got today off. And that’s pretty nice, especially when I’m not used to being up very early in the morning.

I’m also going to watch my first blu-ray movie later tonight. I will be watching
Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children Complete. Now try saying that five times fast!! Looking forward to it, I haven’t seen that movie in a while and the blu-ray version contains 20-26 minutes of new material. Some hate this movie, but I like it quite a bit. Pretty funny since I’m not to fond of Final Fantasy VII. Too bad they didn’t add
FFVII: Last Order into this blu-ray also. Would love to have that as well. But it seems Square Enix cut that from the story when they released FFVII: Crisis Core.

And I might go to my friend Elden’s place this weekend, not sure yet. If not there will be a lot more FFXIII played. Wish I could get my hands on an Xbox 360 so I could play Tales of Vesperia. I’m really looking forward to play it!

And next week its time for the long awaited
Final Fantasy XIII to arrive in both America & Europe. Its been out in Japan since December 2009, so we haven’t had to wait that long this time. A lot of people have been turned of by the game and it seems like reviewers are very split in their opinions.
But what do you think? I still hope and think it will be  a very enjoyable game, but we’ll see what I think after I’ve played it a bit.

I’m thinking of taking a break from gaming until I have a chance to play FFXIII and do some more movies, like in the good old days. I actually have some sort of inspiration going for me now. Would be a shame to waste it. I’m not sure what to do, but something with sprites would be nice, but I’m also thinking of doing a new version of my Xenosaga Rangers videos. Since I’m a bit better with photoshop now and with my video making program, why not give it a try?
I’m also thinking of a making a new video with pixels or something simpler. Not really sure yet, I want to do something.

So if I do a sprite movie or whatever I hope I can start writing a bit of the script for it. Wish I was a bit more talented so I could my own pixel figures, so what I did would be truly original. I have lots of ideas but I need to settle on one thing to do and not try to do everything at once. Well hope everything goes well, I’ll keep you updated on the site! I’ll gladly takes tips and other advise from people.

Blade Runner
* I have never this movie before. My very first time and It was pretty good. I didn’t know what it was about or what to expect. But is was a good movie, I did however think it felt a bit long at times. But that’s about the only complaint I have. I do understand why it has become a classic and is liked by so many.

Couples Retreat
* A comedy with Vince Vaughn, not all that funny but it had its moments. Worth watching one time at least if you are bored. Kristin Bell was in it so it was something nice to look at at least.

Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow
* Great movie! With a nice comic book feel to it. I like the alternative 1950′s in the movie.

Planet Hulk
* People call Hulk monster, send Hulk into space. Hulk mad, smash ship. Crash on planet, becomes savior and king of people. Love the animation and I enjoyed it very much.

Justice League Crisis on Two Earths
* A new movie about Justice League, this time its about alternative dimensions and they meet an evil “Justive League”. A bit slowpaced at time, but a great great cartoon. James Woods as Owlman is so wonderful.

Daybreakers
* Most of the worlds population has turned into vampires and humans are nearly extinct. And blood is getting harder to find to the vampires are harvesting humans. It was an okay movie, Willem Dafoe was awesome!

It also seems like my friend Kntheking has gotten his Livejournal account hacked too. So if you have my old LJ account there, perhaps you should change your passwords. I don’t know it it has anything to do with it, but better safe than sorry. I’m not to concernd with my old account if I get it back or not, but it would be a shame for the friends I have who use it, to have theirs deleted. Well anyway I gave him a bit of my space so he could continue to make posts. You can find his new site here!

My friend Elden is also coming over this weekend I hope. We are going to watch a bunch of movies. Its gonna be a real blast. I’m really looking forward to it. We are gonna watch a classic that none of us have seen. Blade Runner. Yeah, we haven’t seen it so its about time! There will be more movies than that to watch, we just haven’t decided yet. But either way, good company over the weekend is great!

I’ve never been a fan of Sherlock Holmes, in fact I’ve always thought he was a pretty boring character. Interesting story around him and such, but boring. That’s why I’m so glad about this movie. They have added some humor, not so its silly but in my opinion they make Holmes so much better. I think it really fits this version of Holmes.
The movie didn’t feel long even if it was 2hours, if the movie had been bad those 2hours would have been murderous…

The music in the movie was also great, but then again its made by Hans Zimmerman. His music is always good. so if you haven’t seen the movie then go do it! Its very good. Now I’m really looking forward to the next movie with Robert Downey Jr, which is my most awaited movie this year. Namely, Iron Man 2.

I enjoyed that this was a new start, so a Star Trek noob like me could learn to know some of the characters better. Or at least to get a feeling of them. I have no idea if they are anything like this in the old movies. The movie had a good portion of action. And I thought it was well balanced with story.
The movie didn’t feel long either, I almost thought it felt a bit short. Even if its just a bit over two hours long. This is not going to turn me into a Star Trek fan, but I will watch if they make more new movies. And who knows, one day I might do a dive into past movies. All in all, it was a good movie. Which I can recommend.

I’m not 100% sure, but I’ll probably see Sherlock Holmes in the coming weekend. You know the one with Robert Downey Jr. My parents wanted to see it, so I’ll probably go with them to the cinemas. Nothing is certain, but if they go I’m coming with them. Can’t and won’t say no to a free cinema ticket.
Other movies I want to see this year is Iron Man 2, Legion, Clash of the Titans and Percy Jackson & the Olympians: The Lightning Thief.

BEST OF 2009

Games
I think I’ll have to say Uncharted 2: Among Thieves and Batman Arkham Asylum. I really can’t pick between the two of them. I enjoyed them both very much.

Movies
Transformers Revenge of The Fallen, despite its flaws it was the movie I was looking forward most to this year. It was perhaps not the sequel I had hoped for, but still one of the most enjoyable movies I’ve watched this year.

Anime
I haven’t watched an anime I really fell for this year. I thought it was a bit thin.
But then again I haven’t had a chance to watch everything this year either.

Cartoons
I’ve watched a bunch of cartoons this year. I usually watch a lot of anime, but cartoons have won this year. With Transformers Animated, The Batman,
Avatar The Last Air bender, Batman The Animated Series, Justice League Unlimited and more. They where all awesome shows and no anime this year has been better than any of those shows.

TV-shows
This year I’ve watched the entire season 1-4 of How I Met Your Mother. And came to like the series very much. Barney is my favorite character in the show and I’m currently watching season 5. Best show this year!

Other
One of the best things this years is without a doubt, when I finally got to meet my dear friend Kntheking. Best experience of all time and one of my dearest memories.

WORST OF 2009

Games
My biggest disappointment this year was without a doubt Cross Edge. Another game I wisgh I hadn’t touched is Eat Lead: Return of Matt Hazard. I liked the humor, the rest of the game qas one big mess.

Movies
Good for me, since I can’t remember all the crappy movies I’ve watched this year.

Anime
I’ll have to say that Kämpfer, is the worst anime series that I’ve seen this year. Bouncy boobs, bad story. I don’t even know what more I could to say about it…
I think one of the reasons I’m so disappointed with this is that the series just ended without anything being solved in the series. I hate when that happens!

Cartoons
Loonatics Unleashed, it wasn’t that bad. But worse than the rest of the cartoons I watched this year. I guess its because I’m not a very big Loony Toons fan. And that all the characters was just copies of the old Loony Toons characters, it felt cheap…

TV-shows
Heroes! What the hell has happened? Season was was great IMO. The 2nd season was okay, the 3rd season started to go down the shitter and the 4th season is following along that line. Just let it die already.

Other
Its been one hell of a poor year. I honestly hope I’ll have some money 2010, or I’m going to get really depressed.
