I watched The King of Kong: A Fistful of Quarters last night, and it was easily one of the best documentaries I have seen. The world of gaming is much seedier and strange than I had expected. If you get a chance, please check it out. Also, I recently saw a few other fantastic docs at the Full Frame Documentary Festival.
I'm rereading A Heartbreaking Work of Staggering Genius, and it is pretty great, too.
In other news:
- I'll be playing some bitchin' Air Guitar in Troy Sterling's Air Guitar Madness this and next Saturday. You should come and see it and participate, too. Oh man. Pictures from last week can be found here.
- I start a new job on Monday. I'm really excited about it, and I'll have the opportunity to write professionally. Not sure in what capacity, but writing nonetheless.
- I am the owner of a new (used) car. I forgot that driving can be so much fun. (Mine is black.)
- Spring is (basically) here. I played disc golf with a friend recently, and it was exhilarating.
- I've been reading and drawing almost every day. Some writing in there, too. It feels good.
- I've lost 18 pounds since January and I'm going to the gym 3-4 times a week. That feels great.
Nick, you might owe me 18 dollars.
