Okay before I get into the blog post, a lot of people have found my blog by searching “No Need to Abort . . . The Countdown Starts.” Clearly they got the song stuck in their head from the car commercial and want to know what it is. It’s Peter Schillings “Major Tom,” which was his sequel to David Bowie’s “Space Odyssey.” You can find the German version on YouTube, the English version not so much. There is a remix of the English version on iTunes though.
Alrighty then, this week I’ve been glues to my TV and G4 watching the E3 coverage. This is the Electronic Entertainment Expo where they unveil new games, peripherals and systems. Both Sony and Microsoft unveiled sweet motion sensor technologies (to compete with Wii) and everyone revealed awesome new games. I’ve pulled out older games I never finished in order to play some of the sequels coming out next year. I figured I’d get through them all by then 🙂
I still need to do an “EA Active Sports” review for you. In short though, 2 thumbs up! Way better than Wii Fit in my opinion, as this thing pushes you hard.
I lost my mind and went out and bought “Sims 3.” So far my Sims are still happy. Give them a week of working and they’ll be on the couch crying all the time though. I really like this game though as the town is connected to your house, no need to load between different places you go. Very nice. I have yet to explore the graveyard to see the ghosts.
Somehow I’ve gotten sick . . . again! I had been feeling run down these past few days. Maybe from doing too much this weekend? I also made the mistake and pushed it by going to the gym last night. I always end up sick after doing that, probably gym germs. I felt a sore throat coming on last night, took zinc and vit c, but still woke up feeling the throat hurting. Yeah, not happy. While at the gym I finally saw the Zumba class. It looks like a lot of fun, but it was all women and the dance moves were very “shake your hips like a girl.” So I don’t think I want to be the only man in there letting the rest of the club watching me shake my ass from the tread mills, bikes and elliptical trainers 🙂
Yeah, that car commercial has made the song stick in my head, too. In fact, thanks to this entry, it’s running through my head right now. *G*
No workouts for me, pushing hard or otherwise, for awhile. My Wii Fit is going to be very upset with me. I’m kind of looking forward to that. I’m sick, I know. But it amuses me.
Speaking of sick, I’m sorry you’re not feeling well. Hope this passes soon!
I just read about your problems, so sorry your not well either!
You’re supposed to take the zinc and vitamin c before you get sick…not once you feel the symptoms come on! Maybe your body is telling you that you’re doing too much and need to take little breaks once in awhile.
I have that song on an 80’s CD. And now, I will be singing it for the rest of the night.
Thanks. It’s my own stupid fault. I always push myself too hard and wind up hurting myself. I should work on that. Trouble is, I *don’t* push myself hard on things that might, oh I don’t know, be *good* for me. *G*
I do the same thing, which is usually how I end ip with colds all the time.
