Slow Week

So it's been a rather slow and uneventful week. I've been pretty busy at work, which is great change of pace. I didn't really do much outside of work this past week. I saw two movies, Pride and Glory, and Pineapple Express. Pride and Glory was pretty good, but deep down it was just another crooked cop movie. Edward Norton did a great job, but he wasn't as standout as some of his other roles. I thought Pineapple Express was pretty bad. I only found it funny in a few parts and the action sequences were mediocre. The stoner comedy I suppose was ok, but I was mostly bored with it. Much of the movie was over the top and it didn't add to the comedy, more like why won't that guy just die. Other than that, I started to play Valkyria Chronicles this week. I have high expectations and so far it is living up to them, but the game is nerve racking and pretty hard at some points.

The only other thing this past week was that I splurged and bought a couple of things. First I saw that Right Stuf had the Full Metal Panic Season 1&2 on sale. Since I've been in an anime binge lately from seeing some good stuff on Adult Swim and getting back into things from the cons I went to, I decided to buy it. I saw at least the first few episodes of both seasons in PSAO and enjoyed what I saw. Since I needed just a little more for free shipping, I decided to purchase Season 3 while I was at it. It was on sale and it made sense. Then later this week, Right Stuf announced a really good Bandai sale. Sigh, so I splurged and decided to buy some Bandai stuff as well. I bought the entire series of Cowboy Bebop and the first season of Code Geass. They shouldn't arrive for a while though. Hopefully this will settle my impulse buying for a little while. My credit card bill will thank me.
