Here is the one happening right now in New York. That's Jersey over there. Quite nice, don't you think?

So it begins... well tonight that is. I was all excited for Halo 3's release on Tuesday - had my copy on pre-order, walked over to the EB Games on Broadway and got it Tuesday first thing, and was all set to go lose myself in bleary-eyed obsessive deathmatching that night. Well, some life stuff got in the way (damn you felony convictions!), and I've had to postpone my infantile obsession until tonight.

Oh yes, NOW it's on. I plan to visit my friend Conor's Brooklyn loft and gaze in awe at his giant wall projection surround sound system. He hasn't joined live yet, and he and I were just brainstorming via IM possible Xbox Live gamer tags. Here are some of the gems from that thread: "Gas Basket", "Khan Turkey", "Charley Whores", "Nasty Infection", "Whiney Virgin", "Shoulda Gonetocollege", "Sebastian Lemery", "Actually Havehadsex", "A Grownup", "Old Enough To Beat Up Your Dad", and "Chicks Laughatyou". He's leaning toward "Space Herpes". So there's that.

My gamertag is "steveisaacs" if you want to add me and say hello (thereby exposing your position and making you vulnerable to my wrath). Also, check out this most wonderfully superior MIT campus prank involving a Master Chief modded statue....

Last Sunday the lady and I went on a pretty unusual slash awesome date. I took her to an indoor drive in movie in the lower east side of NYC called "DRV-IN". It's just a little store front with a Ford Falcon parked inside, and a movie screen on the far end. They painted the walls with a pseudo hilltop graphic, had a popcorn machine, and host (at the moment) 3 movies per day. You rent out a time slot, can bring up to 6 people, and can bring drinks if you like. I just took her, in hopes of keeping it all romantic-style (mission accomplished). You can pick from 3 pre-selected movies - it was the first week of DRV-IN, 60's week, so we ended up seeing a French film called "A Man and a Woman". It was a super fun and really charming idea, and I'd definitely recommend it to all you suave devils out there.

Because some days you just need a really horrible 80's science fiction show opening credits sequence to get things going properly.
