I'm Baaack!

Alright, so its been a long while since I've shared my musings and insight into all things geek. The biggest reason for the huge gap between posts is simply put due to my joining the US Army reserves. I spent nearly six months in training at Ft. Jackson, SC and Ft. Bragg, NC.

Never fear, faithful readers. Army life hasn't tamed the geek within. Without further adieu, I give you a brand new entry in Things I Think I Think.

- UFC 118, James Toney's only chance is to catch Couture quickly with a big shot. If the fight lasts longer than a couple minutes Couture will be the easy winner.

- After all the hype about Starcraft 2 finally getting released it sure did vanish off the radar with barely a peep didn't it?

- I was going through a magazine the other day and there was a picture of Tina Fey with a caption that indicated she was in the class of the "hot nerd". Am I the only one who's irritated that some people honestly think if someone wears glasses and writes for a living they're automatically a part of the great fraternity that is nerd or geekdom? Get some pics of her throwing down some 20's as a DM for D&D or staying up for 10 hours straight on WoW, then you can call her a geek or nerd. Until then shes just a chick in glasses.

- I was gone for nearly half a year so I'm late getting into Modern Warfare 2 but Damn, that's a fun game. Can't wait to get my grubby mitts on Black Ops, the next CoD game.

- If you like movies about stuff that blows up, you'd do well to see The Expendables. Solid action flick that makes no excuses for what it is: an almost non-stop, over the top series of action sequences.

- Although he was hardly Oscar worthy, Couture's turn as a former high school wrestler turned mercenary wasn't too shabby. He may have a future in action movies.

- Despite the myriad of great PC games that have been coming out of the last couple years I want to replace my aging, problem ridden computer so I can play Neverwinter Nights again.
