This is Captain Price, one the leading characters in Call of Duty 4, and an all around BAMF. Not to mention that his mustache/beard is indescribably cool. So cool in fact, that I'm thinking of breaking my rule against facial hair.Today my mother and I went to the National Junior College Football Championship between Utah's own Snow College Badgers against Kansas' Butler College Grizzlies. It looked like Snow was gonna be trampled, but in the last few minutes they came back by fourteen points and tied it up, 23-23. The game went into double overtime, and Snow almost won it, but lost it on a faulty block. I have a friend who plays on the team for Snow, so that was reason for our going. Unfortunately we didn't get to see him play, since he'd broken two fingers earlier (ouch), but it was a great game. It was said to see them play so hard just to lose it at the end, but it was a lot of fun. I seem to only enjoy football live. TV just doesn't cut it for me. Strangely, I have an inverse relationship to Golf. Go figure.
I've been reading Cormac McCarthy's The Road. I'm coming off of a Post-Apocalypse kick thanks to Fallout 3, and The Road has been a fantastic read. There haven't been many books that I haven't been able to put down, but it's extremely readable. McCarthy has a style that isn't verbally dense, but requires thought to draw out what's behind what's been said. It's very human, and is frighteningly real despite its setting. Highly recommended to any and all who are so inclined.
I do NOT recommend Punisher: War Zone. Or should I say, Punisher: Crap Fest? I should.
