One of the many reasons Amiee rocks. She just informed me that she picked up two tickets for the San Diego show of Trans-Siberian Orchestra! This is an annual thing that we have been doing for like the last four or five years. These (TSO) put on such an amazing show. Every year they have managed to up what they did the year before. So if they keep that trend, this show should be absolutely mind blowing. So if you live in San Diego I highly recommend checking out the show live. And if you don’t live in San Diego, check their tour dates and find out when they’re going to be play near you – and go to the show. I promise you, you will be amazed.

So Labor Day Weekend was pretty nice. I could have definitely used a break from work – and the additional day off and the short week (this week) is definitely allowing me to start this week fresh after a last couple of weeks just feeling like I was being kicked and beaten around.
It was pretty cool because Paul and Bethany came over – and on Saturday (or was it Sunday? It blurs when I have these long weekends) – we went to Dog Beach and had a really good time. Then the next day (or the day after – like I said, it all begins to blur) – we went to Balboa Park and just walked around, bringing Odin with us. Got some cool pictures (or Aim did anyway) while we were walking around. Bethany is learning to ride a bike so that was fun.
Paul and I also played Kane & Lynch: Dead Men which is perhaps one of the worse games, mechanically – like worse than Army of Two which we loved despite how glitchy it was (well I loved it – but I love Co-Op games that Paul and I can kick through). Anyway, K&L: DM is pretty damn odd… Although Paul’s character (Lynch) has some pretty bad ass side effects when he freaks out – everyone looks like cops – so I watched Paul kill innocent cowering people – who, on his screen looked like cops. I wasn’t innocent of not killing innocent people… I gunned down people that got in my way, even if they were cowering. The game is pretty insane, despite the odd mechanics of how everything works. Still manage to have a good time, because it really doesn’t matter about the game, it’s about the Co-Op’ness and the mocking of one another when we’re playing.
When Aim has her computer turned on, I will get on there and post some pictures.
