Life Beyond The Movies

Getting TV Fixed

Ok… what’s the definition of lazy? I had a problem with my 42 inch plasma TV about 5 months ago. The thing is heavy as hell, but I watch all my movies on it. So you’d think I would have run out to get the damn thing fixed right away right? RIGHT? Nope, I let it just sit there for the last 5 months and instead watched DVDs on my little 20 inch TV in my bedroom.

Today I FINALLY got around to calling the repair man. They’re coming over to take a look at it on Friday. It’ll be nice to get my TV back.

Taking A Break From The Movie Blog

It dawned on me the other day that in over 4 years of running The Movie Blog, I haven’t once taken a week off from writing on it. Not even last year when i was driving from one end of Canada and the US to the other while filming my movie… I even wrote every morning from whatever hotel room I was in at the time.

So, with lots of prep work to do (with regards to a major Movie Blog announcement we’re making on Friday), getting ready to launch my movie on DVD, and just in general feeling really worn out… I’ve decided to take a break this week from posting on The Movie Blog. I’m still doing the Uncut shows… so it’s not really a vacation, but no writing for me.

After the announcement this Friday, I’ll have a LOAD of stuff to do… I’m also suppose to be flying down to New Mexico in November for a few days to visit the set of “Game” (being filmed by the creators of “Crank”) and doing my movie DVD launch party… so if I’m going to take a break… I need to do it now.

World of Warcraft To Kill My Time Again

Ok so here’s the story. A little over a year ago some friends of mine finally got me to try World of Warcraft. The problem was that the game was FAR too addictive. I had the game on my computer for just over 3 months and I found that no matter how much I tried to limit how much I played, I ended up playing 3-5 hours a day and my work was suffering for it. I finally decided I was powerless to resist the game and I took the drastic measure of deleting the whole game off my computer and then smashing the discs so I wouldn’t be tempted to put the game back on.

Well, it’s been over a year… and I’ve decided to give the game another shot. I’m installing the game now as we speak. I’ll let you know how I fair this time around.
