I was very lazy today and didn't get much accomplished.  Sunday is also my diet cheat day but didn't really go crazy.  Maybe had a few extra pieces of fruit but that's about it.

Not only is it a big time of year for videogame releases but also all the movies released this summer are starting to be released.  I have no less than five (5) movies already on pre-order at Amazon that are ready to ship when released.  So here's my top five (5) most anticipated movies scheduled to be released by the end of the year.  Four of the five I have not seen yet so I am especially looking forward to those movies.
1.) Inception:  Chris Nolan is a brilliant director so I have high hopes for this movie.
2.) Toy Story 3:  I am a fan of almost everything Pixar does.
3.) A-Team: seems like a fun action flick and I was a fan of the TV series back in the day.
4.) The Other Guys: saw this in the theater and haven't laughed at a movie this much since Talladega Nights.
5.) The Expendables: I was always a fan of 1980's action films so hopefully this is of the same mold.

I find that as I get older and older that I don't have the passion I used to have for watching football.  As a kid I would camp myself in front of the TV every Sunday afternoon and wouldn't do anything other that watch for the next six hours.  Now when Sunday rolls around I think that Sunday afternoon is a good time to do errands because everyone else will be watching the game.

I am about two thirds of the way through Costume Quest and I am really enjoying it so far.  Its got a charming personality and while the game play is a little repetitve it doesn't take away from the overall quality of the game.

I had to go into work for a couple of hours this morning on my day off.  I hate working on scheduled days off because eventhough its only for a couple of hours it always makes the day feel like its been wasted at work.  All for paycheck I guess.

I completed a 18 Mile bike ride tonight and it was really cold by the end.  It is starting to drop down into the low 30's at night here so I don't know how much longer I can continue to ride outside.  However I don't want to shut the outside bike down until the absolute last minute b/c I am not prepared mentally to commit to only riding the exercise bike on the inside.

A friend of mine is going to take me hiking in the woods this weekend.  He going to show me how to navigate using the compass and some general tips on how not to get lost.  I have wanted to begin doing some nature walks in the past but was always a little concerned about going into unfamiliar terrain without at least some basic navigation skills.  Hopefully this will be a good start.

I felt like I was never able to get on track today.  I woke up with an aching back so I made an appoint to see the massage therapist.  After half an hour of good "torture" I just lost all motivation for the rest of the day.  I decided it would be a good day to give blood/urine for my scheduled doctor's appointment next week.  So I accomplished being twisted like a pretzel and giving bodily fluids today.

I drove by the aftermath of this incident (http://www.masslive.com/news/index.ssf/2010/10/man_dies_in_accident_at_holyok.html) earlier today at the mall.  The area was block off by mall security and I saw the flashing lights of a police car.  Not knowing what happened I assumed that someone's car had been broken into or vandalized.  It just makes you realize how fragile and short life can be sometimes.

I had a really good day today.  Woke up early to have a relaxed breakfast.  I then ran up to the mall to spend a $25 dollar gift certificate at Sports Authority by buying a fleece vest as its starting to get cold here in New England.  I then spent a couple of hours at a friend's house watching the NE versus Baltimore game enjoying some food his wife made for us.  I then just finished an almost hour long speed walk in the brisk night air to make me good and sleepy for the night.  I wish everyday was like today.
