The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion.  Looks really cool, and the voice of the King is Patrick Stewart.  It has spells casting and all this other nifty shit.  Unfortunately, I can&#8217;t for the life of me figure out how to do anything with it.  I suppose it&#8217;ll come with time.  Maybe.  I&#8217;m kind of an old fart, and this shit doesn&#8217;t come automatically to me, the way it does with the young folks.  I may just have to call in sick for a few days, to figure it all out. <\/p>\n<p>So, I was watching this movie on Sundance last night called Adam &#038; Paul.  The description reads, &#8220;Two addicts encounter lowlifes while trying to find drugs in Dubin, Ireland,&#8221;  so it appealed to me on several different levels.  Just a funny goddamn movie.  I love the way the Irish say fuck.  &#8220;Fook.&#8221;  And there&#8217;s a lot of fookin&#8217; sayin&#8217; fook in this fookin&#8217; movie, let me tell ya.  Plus, the one addict sounded just like the guy in the wheelchair from Little Britain. <\/p>\n<p>Of course, like any move about addicts, it&#8217;s ultimately very sad, too.  I don&#8217;t know if there&#8217;s anything more sad than what addiction does to people.  I&#8217;ve, personally, known some excellent people destroyed by it.  I count myself lucky that I wasn&#8217;t destroyed by addiction or compulsion or whatever you want to call it.  I never quite became addicted to anything (not physically, anyway, except for cigarettes, which aren&#8217;t good for you, of course, but they are legal).  Shows you what a stupid system we have.<\/p>\n<p>Anyhow, have a good fookin&#8217; Wednesday.<\/p>\n<p>Oh, and fook Bush! And Cheney, go fook yourself.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Got this new XBOX game I tried to play last night. The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion.
