2011 has really turning out to be a great year in music.  Bands like ...And you will know us by the Trail of Dead and Cut // Copy coming out with new albums in the coming week, with Morning After Girls, White Lies, Tapes 'n Tapes, Company, Smith Westerns, and the Get Up Kids to name just a few with albums already out.  Festivals with line ups that are, in my opinion, some of the greatest I've seen in years.  I believe this year will captivate all music fans, regardless of what favorite genre some prefer. 
 
I've had a gaming itch for a good while and haven't been able to scratch it.  I've went back to Fallout New Vegas, but had some frame rate issues so I stopped.  Got LittleBigPlanet 2 and quickly became tired of it.  Started playing Minecraft again, but I think I've done everything I wanted.  I even installed and started playing Oblivion again.  Nothing seems to be working.  I have a feeling that I'm so impatient for games like RAGE and Skyrim that I want to play them now and there seems to be no substitute.  I'm thinking of playing Dead Space 2 but I've never played the first...I wanted to in the past but I believe my attention was else where.  I may try to play through the first and then move on to the second in the coming month.   
 
I've started work on my next book and I must say, I'm flying through concepts and ideas like they were nothing.  Hopefully six months will be the necessary time it'll take for me to finish but I'll stick with a year...hopefully by then I'll find a publisher.
