i'll make mince meat out of that beat mouse

so Jessica Alba was the host of this years MTV movie awards, and i have got to say watching her do comedy sketches is somewhat unsettling. maybe it was her persistent smile and cheeriness made everything seem much more campy than it should be.



there was also a great performance from Gnarls Barkley. i would talk more about who they are, but really if you have not heard of them by now, you are not really trying.

i also defeated all that is Sly Cooper and the Thievius Raccoonus. surprisingly i am just getting around to this game. they have already made two sequels. good points, it is pretty much a game that any one can pick up and play. the comic-book style cut scenes are beautiful, as is the style of the game itself. it appears to use cell-shading, but not as heavily as in other games. it appears more like a cartoon. downside, the master thief sprints are insane, and at times i felt it was driving me insane as well. pretty much the challenge is to make it through each completed two minutes. there were several times i wanted to cry. the reward for getting a hundred percent is totally not worth the effort. but as far as playing goes, they game is solid, the controls are not the best they could be, at times spot on, other times hit or miss. but give it a go if you have a Gamefly account.

in other news, a friend of mine from high school found my profile on myspace. i have not talked to or heard from anybody from high school since i joined the military. it was one of the highlights of my day. i am really glad that she got in touch with me. we have been getting reacquainted. i will spare you the details, but needless to say i am really psyched that she wrote me that email. see myspace is good for something after all.
