there's always room in life for this

today begins the second annual dave's national ice cream appreciation month, which means i get to eat ice cream every day for the entire month. then i'll top it all off again on the last day by nearly overdosing on an entire quart of ice cream in one sitting. mmm, i can just feel the diabetes now.

saw war of the worlds last night with daniel, austin and rob. overall, i liked it. great effects, good acting by tom cruise, very tense at times. certain parts of it good have been better, like how the resolution could have been explained a little more thorough. tim robbins was definitely one of the main highlights. i give the film 3 1/2 out of 5 davies. now i still need to see batman begins.

i got jade empire last week. the only reason i would bought it, since i'm not much of an RPG fan, is because its made by the Biowagore, the same people who made knight of the old republic. the game also got some very good reviews ,so i thought i would be worth checking out. i haven't been able to play it since sunday, but so far its very good. it feels exactly like kotor, meaning it has the same easy accessibility for anyone who's not into RPGs. in fact, this is probably the easiest to learn yet. the story seems like its going to be just as good, too. the most improved feature is probably the combat system. instead of kotor's turn-based fighting, jade empire's combat occurs in real-time, with you doing the fighting. hopefully i'll have more time to play it this extended weekend.

now i'm going to go eat me some ice cream...
