Ebb and Flow

My interest comes and goes with the tides, and after watching Age of Ultron, I needed to satisfy my Marvel kick. A big omission from my MCU resume were the Thor movies. I corrected that promptly. They weren't as bad as I thought, but they still occupy the middling tier if we're ranking them.

After finishing the movies, I wanted to sink my teeth into something meatier. Lo and behold, there's Daredevil to keep me busy for thirteen episodes. Thanks to Daredevil, my plan to beat Ni no Kuni went out the window. I haven't touched the game since Sunday. I lost about ten or even twenty hours of playtime, and I probably set back my backlog by a week.

Daredevil started off really strong but went sideways with a lame scene where a guy who shouldn't have died got taken out like a schmuck, and that other character kept making the situation worse with her persistence. Still, I'm intrigued to see what the next season brings.

This whole week has told me one thing: I am who I am. I'm liable to be swept up by my latest obsession and that's why I didn't schedule my entire year in advance. Another reason I was losing time for Ni no Kuni was because of BF4. Fortunately or unfortunately, that will no longer be the case.

I learned today that my battlefield partner has rejoined his brethren in Diablo 3. The Battlefield era has come to close. Since I've finished Daredevil and with my friend no longer interested in BF4, that leaves me with no excuse. I have to beat Ni no Kuni now.

I skipped out on my family's Mother's Day dinner because all those late nights of watching Daredevil over the week caught up to me. I just didn't feel like going out. I feel kinda bad but I gotta do what's best for me. I get to save money too. On the upside, this clears out my Sunday since I've taken care of my writing duties.

It always feels good to get things out of the way before they're due.

Event Log: 5/11/14 - Happy Mother's Day

To all the mothers, thanks.

Not much to report today. My family threw a KBBQ for the occasion. That was nice. I finished up the last of the Back to the Future trilogy, which I enjoyed more than the second (despite IMDB ratings), and my friend and I proved why Conquest is the best mode in BF4. To cap off the night, I went though a double header for Game of Thrones. Man, that last scene gave me chills.

I also beat Crash! Holy shit, that was probably the hardest game I had to beat in recent memory. I like the troll level right before the final boss. It's just one jump over a gap. Nice sense of humor, Naughty Dog. Seriously, I overcompensate after every jump and walk off into pits every time. I'm just not cut out for this jive.
