Habitual Meme

I was told last night that I have been tagged. Not only that, but my lame priorities like work and school are no excuse for not getting this done. So what does getting tagged mean? Well... The Rules: The first player of this game starts with the topic "five weird habits" and people who get tagged need to write an entry about their five weird habits as well as state this rule clearly. In the end, you need to choose the next five people to be tagged and link to their web journals. Don't forget to leave a comment in their blog or journal that says "You have been tagged" (assuming they take comments) and tell them to read yours. 1) The theme song from "I Dream of Jeannie" is never far from my mind. I've tried to overwrite it, and I've tried therapy but it just won't go away. 2) When driving, I sing along with Tenacious D. At the top of my lungs. 3) I reorganize my desk almost every month. I have to make sure my nice pens are in order. 4) I organize my closet by color. (I know of no support group to help me with this) 5) Despite all my insane organizing "habits" (read: compulsions), my CD's are organized in a much more organic method. People who know how OCD I can be with my clothes and CD's and such are surprised that my CD's and are in no apparent order. And now, I officially tag Tracy, Beau, Amy, Colton and Victor. So I wash my hands of this and await posts from you five slackers.

Not sure how I missed this one

I got a few things on my Amazon wish list for Christmas this year. A lot of books, some movies and a couple of games. I played Call of Duty 2 all the way through on Easy and I'm just starting back through on Regular (as is my custom with games, to beat every level). I was a huge fan of the first Call of Duty. I loved the progression through the various missions and the gameplay. The graphics were great and the whole thing felt very solid. The expansions was good, too. But the sequel is just more of the same. It doesn't advance the genre at all and I've heard the support for the online gaming experience has been awful. Too bad. The other game I got was Chronicles of Riddick: Escape from Butcher Bay. I know it's an older game (2004 actually) but I never picked it up and since I had heard good things about it I left it on my wish list. I started playing it last night (in total darkness for effect) and I really like this game. It's a combination of classic first person shooter and stealth in a very unique way. The story is helped by the fact that Vin Diesel voiced Riddick. That's what I'm doing post-Christmas. What about you? Beagle Status: Fully fed. With tummies full of kibble, it's time for a nap.
