Where did the day go?

Man, the alarm went off at 0400 this morning (cause the wife is on day shift for the next couple of weeks) and even though it took a while to roll out of bed (when you crash at midnight and the clock-radio starts blaring country at 4 in the morning, it can take a while to come to your senses) I've been pretty dang busy today.

Talked with my bud, Scott, who's chilling in Colorado (note: he doesn't blog much). Whipped some UEF ass in the my latest game, Supreme Commander (the game is a lot cooler than the title would lead you to believe). Bugged over to the Eagles boards to see what was what. Went into base to get a crapload of stuff done, including a good long workout. Then I came back with a few rentals in hand and watched Altered this afternoon while having a late lunch.

Altered is quite good. Made by the director of the Blair Witch Project, it sets four guys who were "abducted" 15 years ago, against a lethal alien, who for reasons that I won't go into here, they do not want to kill (it has no such problems). Reasonably well done, it goes shoestring most of the way. No fancy set or locales, just some backwoods ramshackle place that the protagonist has built in order to isolate himself from a town that thinks he a whack-job and to hide from any aliens that might want to return to look his up (he got the full monty treatment up in the spaceship, a few of the others didn't).

Anyway, I enjoyed it. And after that, wow, if was past 16:30, so its past 18:30 and my wife should be coming back from work any time. Her plan is to pass out right away, and I gotta admit, I am a little tired. I just wonder where the time went? Whew. Well. There isn't much else going on here in Japan. We're getting as drenched as the East Coast. Been raining for 4 days straight. I am half-expecting to see a little Japanese Noah leading pairs of animals down the street.

Being a Part of the Eagles Blog-o-sphere

Hey hey, its pretty fun blogging about the Birds, and I just made Dan Rubin's Blinq (which follows a bunch of stuff but he does an Eagles blog-o-sphere wrap-up regularly...I know its not much, but I got a real kick out of it. Thanks Dan, you made my 35th birthday! (not as great as that Eagles win felt, but pretty dang nice all the same).

Did I just give something away...yeah, I turned 35 today...I forget these things...I don't really look 35, and I certainly don't feel 35 (I like to do immature things to keep my mindset young)...

Actually, I highly recommend Blinq, I went to all the other blogs he linked to, and there are some pretty good folks out there sharing their thoughts about the Birds.

Like The 700 Level (Booing since 1776, frickin' awesome) where I found this awesome pic:
How cool is that, awesome view (that's too many awesomes). Wish I was there. If we ever get back to the East Coast, I am definitely going to have to make a pilgrimage to the Linc (never been there).
Got to spend quite a bit of time at the Vet when I ushered Eagles game in the early 90s (man was that an experience! Getting paid to have season tickets to the Eagles was/is indescribably cool).

Well I am still reading some the Philly.com writers on the Eagles, and I really enjoyed reading the laments from the Washington Post beat writers about their pathetic 4skins....Unfortunately, Gibbs finally woke up and figured out he needs to see if QB Jason Campbell is worth the 1st round pick they spent on him in 2005. Damn, I was really hoping they'd waste the entire season with Brunell...

Fiddlin' on the Blog

Actually it should read, fiddlin' with the blog, cause I made a bunch o'changes and then decided I didn't like what they did (expanded the text some but scrunched the pics, etc). Well anyway, I've decided that as a primarily Eagles-related blog, I need some more Eagles-related colors, so in with midnight green and white and black...throw in a dash of throwback silver...and viola' the trick is done.
