there is no sunlight where i'm going.

the doctor's visit went well. i have a trifecta of infection's beginning in my right ear canal, going into my nasal passage, and ending in my throat. it's so severe, he put me on this high-class potent antibiotic that he told me was so good it's ridiculously expensive. luckily, my insurance covered it and i didn't have to fork over a dime.

waking up the past few mornings with this has been the worse. dry/raw throat. puss/blood coated phlem. barely being able to swallow... this just sucks.

i'm sure i'll get shit on monday from work, but... i can't help it i have shitty immunities... and bad luck.

i had no clue that, "death cab for cutie," had a new album in the works, and i somehow managed to nab a copy of it in advance, and to be honest... it's incredible.

i've never been a big fan of death cab... i liked, "the photo album," and, "transatlantacism," but everything else always left me kinda dry. especially their last release.

when it comes to ben gibbard, i've always been a sucker for his solo/postal service work, but this new death cab is really something to be heard. it's melodic, dark, depressive, optimistic, and experimental... i would dare to say beautiful as well...

i traded in, "bully: scholarship edition," and here's why:

i beat the game on ps2, and with this, on the 360. i unlocked every achievement with the exception of two. dual nebula, and perfectionist. while one is worth 125 gamer points, the other is at 25, and they're mundane in what you have to do to get them, so i said to hell with it, and swapped it out for a game i never had a desire to play until it's fourth installment wowed me...

call of duty 2.

the game's hard as hell. no way getting around it. of course, i'm playing it on veteran seeing as how that's the only way to unlock achievements.

please don't assume i'm an achievement points whore, because i'm really not. i just figure, if the game has them, and i'm gonna play it anyway, why not throw in the challenge of playing it on a harder level and be rewarded.

and i've only unlocked one so far on COD2. it's ridiculously hard on veteran. but, i guess after beating most of the games i've played lately on hard or more, anything seems possible.

still, as far as games go, COD2 is okay, but not nearly as compelling as, "call of duty 4: modern warfare." that game is a glass of brillance in and of itself.

there's not much else going on in the way of life. i want out of florida, and even though my house has been on the market for a little over a month, i have yet to have one bite on it. this country has gone to hell in the way of economy. congrats bush supporters. you wanted him, and now he's wreaked havoc like the fires in mordor.
