What Season are we in Anyway?

Bet you thought that was about the weather, didn't you? Well it isn't, and it is too I guess.

I could totally see our dog Hurley being this dog...
When I said season I was speaking more like a television season, but in regard to my own life. Tomorrow is Easters (inside joke), otherwise known as the first Sunday after the first full moon after the first day of spring. No wonder they renamed it to Easter! Anyway, who doesn't love a holiday all about a large mutant rabbit breaking into your house, going into your fridge, and hiding the most colorful thing he finds all over your home? I for one welcome our new rabbit overlords... Yeah, yeah, I know, it's about more than vandalous bunnies to a lot of people, move on.

So the day after bunny day, I start a new job (contract to hire). Like I've said in the past, I'm going to keep Pigz In Zen, Inc. alive, and work on it on the side, but Uncle Sam, and healthcare, demand more money than PIZ is currently bringing in. On the upside, however, this job seems like it will be fun. There's a lot of cool web development stuff to do there, and the people seem nice. There is, naturally, a catch; I have to wear a shirt & tie, and no beards allowed (that includes goatees)! I haven't had a bare chin in what, nine years? Like I told my wife, "It's just hair, and if this doesn't work out, I can always grow it back." So as of this morning, it's gone. I have only a mustache now. How weird...

On another note, if you were a fan of Spore, there's a new 'version' currently in open beta called Darkspore. I downloaded the 5GB and tried it out. It's alright, but if you're looking at it as the next Spore, well, let's just say, "Son, I am disappoint." You can customize creatures, but not their bodies, just their add-ons and weapons. It's also this weird 3D pretending to be 2D thing. You go, you fight stuff, you get points, you buy junk to attach to your digital dolls. I am, quite frankly, underwhelmed by it.

Saw the movie "Arthur", a remake of the 1981 film by the same name. Russell Brand makes a pretty good Arthur TBH. Much of the story is predictable, but then again, being a remake, perhaps that's unavoidable. The story is worth the watch, though, and there are plenty of laughs throughout. One thing I never realized was how small Russel's nipples are; they're like freakish! Clearly the true star of this movie was Luis Guzmán, playing the role of Bitterman.
