I'm in Heaven, well summer vacation... In reality I've been on vacation since Finals Week. Every summer I promise myself to work on my classes for next fall, write a book and do something useful. What would you do if you got 3 months of time to do something?

Of course, I usually spend my time sitting on my butt, reading, playing video games, watching movies, websurfing, mowing the lawn, riding my bike, taking my wife to lunch, and generally perfecting my plan for world domination.

So what have I been doing for the past two days?

Hu Hut - This was lunch today, a very interesting place and the eggrolls weren't bad either. I ate too much, so it's a light dinner tonight. This place is kind of like a Stir-Fry/Japanese/Bar Grill. I will have to go back and try some more combination of food. It's weird because there is really no set menu for the main course. What you pick is what they cook. Yesterday it was sack lunches in the park.

Team America: World Police (Unrated) - OMG...WTF...Were they thinking. Thunderbird puppets meet South Park. This was so sick it was funny. This movie is not for the faint at heart. It was funny, but the puppet sex scenes was way over the top. There were a lot of parodies from Classic TV shows if you knew where to look. Watch this movie alone and never tell yours friends you have seen it. The song are hysterical. I will says I'd probably admit to watching porn, before a tell any of my Christian friends about this movie.

Devil in the White City by Erik Larson - A true story about a serial killer in Chicago at the of the 1893 World's Fair. Larson's likes a lot of detail in his book, and does a good job with research comes from his reporter background. He takes facts and strings them together in compelling prose. I doubt if he could write a complete work of fiction, but I don't hold that against him. You can read this book as two separate book. Which is what I did half way through because I wanted to read more about the killer H.H. Holmes and less about building the fair. Nice reading, but I have to wonder did any of Dr. Holmes victims get away?

God of War - This is a great game. I rented it for over the weekend, then bought the game 24 hours later. The old man need help clearing the first boss because my trigger finger is not what it use to be, so my son had to do it. Today I bought a turbo boost controller, which fire the button far faster that mere human over 30 can, so I could replay the level and win. Blood, Death, Hacking and Slashing. The first M rated game I've played that really takes the cakes. Good thing I was playing this while the kids were at school, because I stumbled into the sex senses. My 13 year old will not be helping his old man anymore.

Shakespeare's Trollop by Charline Harris - Normally I don't like mysteries, because you can't follow the clues with most writers. I'm reading Charlaine Harris, because I was reading Kelley Armstrong, which I came to from Laurell K. Hamilton, which came from waiting for the next book in the War of the Spider Queen edited by R.A. Salvatores. Let just say I started with Robert A. Heilen, and Ray Bradbury and now I have wander into the strange landscaped of books. I was shocked when I a friend of mine said I was in the Vampire Noir Erotica section of the bookstore. Reading the latest in Laurell K. Hamilton' Anita Blake series I concede the point.
