Traps and Tricks and Such...

First off lets talk about Spiderman's new costume. It rocks hard. I guess it was designed by Ironman, so its got all these sweet bells and whistles. I saw it in action in Civil War 3 and it was crazy. Hes got these Doc Oc arms and new colors. The Civil War comics are pretty cool. Badically Ironman and the US want superheroes to register with the government. This means you have to release your identity and such. This splits all the heroes. So its basically Ironman and his crew -vs- Captain America and his crew. For those that know me you would think I'd be a huge Captain America fan. Well...I think I'm going to be. His British partner in crime "Union Jack" isn't too sahbby either. This has been my first entry into Marvel super heroes. We'll see if it goes well.

In other news in the real world...

My physical therapy is going very well. I played an intense couple hours of soccer on Monday and me knee felt fine. Its been great going up staris and lifting heavy things as well. I've been cut down to one day a week at therapy but I'll probably go in two other times durring the week to do strngth training on and around my knee. I should be doing some short runs early next week.

Everyone should go see Miami Vice this weekend. Michael Mann will surely deliver on this one. And Colin Farrel with a huge mustache....hahahaha. Whats not to like? Fast cars, speed boats, planes and guns.

Some friends are coming down to visit this weekend. Lots of good jokes will come out of this. We're going to maybe see the lizards and Darwin's tortoise's at the Natural History Museum or go see the USS Intrepid. We'll also do some touristy stuff and try to make the most out of little sleep and a cramped weekend.

My boss tried to get me to stay until December today. I couldn't take 5 more months of that place. This 7am business is NO FUN. Its 10pm right now and I should probably start thinking about sleep. I do have an 8am class fall quarter, but it's only twice a week and I counter it nicely with the other two days, where I only have one class and its at 4pm. Score.

I haven't been climbing a whole lot lately. Saturday was the last time. I think I'll go tomorrow. And I have plans to boulder in central park after work on Friday. Hopefully I can find a way to not get bored with the gym I go to. My new shoes should arrive by the end of the week or early next week. They should get me to go a lot more provided they are the right size.

Next month will be awesome. Two of my favorite bands are coming here (Circa Survive and Saosin), my birthday is the 23rd and I'll be heading back to school. Heres waiting until then and having fun in NYC.

Oh, hello there...

Ok so I ditched Live journal.

We'll see how this goes. Now friendlies can post here and I can have last.fm and flickr stuff on here. I probably could on lj too but this is cooler.

My last lj post was roughly 1 million years ago. So since then I've moved to NYC for 6 months for an internship. This 6 months are almost up (I go back to school late august). The internship has been good. I've found out that corporat jobs are not for me, although I have made some excellent contacts. So in short i'm fairly bored with work, but not with this city.

Its awesome living here because everything is at your fingertips. Every single movie plays here, all the bands come here, and every company has a store here. Although the climbing scene is a little weak. The running scene on the other hand is aweosme. Too bad i'm in physical therapy with a hold on running [face_ultra_dissapointed]

Speaking of climbing, I went to this new rock gym up in New Rochelle yesterday and it was pretty amazing. Around 50 bleay stations, 4 bouldering caves. Fun times. I obviously haven't been bouldering enough since i'm missing 3 finger pads :
I'll hopefully be playing soccer tomorrow at Columbia with some friends. This the highlight of my Mondays. Please don't criticize me for calling is soccer and not football...the last thing I want is for someone to read this and think I'm playing american football, which is right up there with baseball as one of the most useless sports.

I've also gotten back into comics. Years and years ago i used to love the Aliens/Predator/Rogue Squadron comics. Well, 2 weeks ago I found myself wandering around the city and wound up in a comic store. The rest of this story can be told from the pile of recipts on my kitchen table. On series that is particulary notable is Fables. It takes all of our favorite fairly tale characters and throws them in NYC where they live in exile after being kicked out of their respecitve lands. Its very dark and very funny. Here is a cover shot from one of the latest issues. I'm playing catchup with most of the comics I'm reading right now which is nice because I can buy the trade paper backs (graphic novel like books which are cheaper in the long run to buy) and because i dont have to wait after every cliffhanger I read.

Ok, so I don't want to write anymore, I want to watch a movie or go read something. I may watch Le Cercle Rouge tonight. I hear its excellent and I guess it helps that I seem to love all of Melville's work.

New climbing shoes should be here this week. Heres me being excited. Until then...

Ok does this work?
