Trying to balance it all.

David Carradine died and it looks like suicide. Koko Taylor also died from complications related to a hospital stay. Those both make me sad.

In other news, I've noticed that buying a house is sort of like what being pregnant is like (as it has been described to me.) You announce you're buying a house and suddenly everyone is all up in your business, giving you suggestions and advice and telling stories about what it was like when they did it and trying to tell you what you should be doing. At least I'm not wearing a sign that says I'm buying a house, which would be the final stage in the comparison. The strangest part is that most other people seem more stressed out about it than I am. I'm looking at houses and if I find one I like, I'll put in a bid on it. I'm not in a specific rush to buy right now, OMG! My lease isn't up until December and if I could find a way to not end up paying for breaking it, I'll be happier. I'm going out looking at some more houses tonight and maybe I'll see something. Maybe I won't. Maybe it is that where I would like to live, I'm not able to be approved for the houses I would like. Don't know. There are opportunities out there, certainly.

In slightly less grumpy news, I still like Wolfram Alpha.

Man... I'm tired.

LucasArts is super busy recreating The Secret of Monkey Island and has liscenced Telltale to bring us "Tales of Monkey Island". It will be an episodic adventure that picks up where the fifth Monkey Island game left off. (Hush that there was no fifth Monkey Island game. Go with the press release.) I only ever watch people play these but it sounds like fun. The first episode launches in July to be followed by four more.

“I’ve heard that it’s closely associated with somewhat of a bungler or a misfit or someone who’s annoying, to put it mildly." - Michael Madsen on the word "Poozer". (He voices Kilowog in the animated movie coming out soon.)

There is a Highlander reboot coming. There is a script review out there. I'm not reading it. From the comments surrounding it, though, you should expect there to be more guns.

Anna Paquin told IGN that she would love to get back in character as Rogue for X-Men First Class, as long as she got an action scene. Seeing as that is supposed to be young Scott, Jean and Hank movie, I have no idea how that would work but it would be nice to get something going there.

Claire will be back full time as a regular character for the final season of Lost. Did Juliet actually reset time? Erase certain events in the time line? Who knows!
