life of billUPDATE: OMG, I was just reminded (by a Wil Wheaton Twitter, TYVM) that Saturday is also Free Comic Book Day.  What a nerdtastic weekend! 

It's a pretty nerdy week.  I've been playing GTA4 quite a bit.  Not as much as this guy, but enough to make me feel guilty about all of the other things I ought to be doing, like grading papers and editing films and preparing for the big weekend events.  Here's a rundown of what's going on in my life this week (insert lame apology for not being a diligent blogger here)...

  • I taught my last class of the semester on Tuesday and I still have to do final grades and stuff but the light is bright that the end of that tunnel.
  • The afore mentioned GTA4 came out and it's consuming my life.  Plus the first copy I got was defective, but I replaced it today and the new one seems to be working fine.
  • The publisher of the Burlington Free Press just invited me to go talk to the Freeps news room about blogging.  I'm not sure what I can tell them that they don't already know, but maybe I can at least relate some relevant personal experience.
  • Arthur "Blammos" Adams is coming into town this weekend and he and his brother Jordan will be doing an all-TMBG set at the Radio Bean on Saturday night... and I'm going to join them on a few numbers!
  • Sunday is a busy one, with the tech set-up for the Nerdcore screening happening in the morning, followed by the radio show with Nerdcore director Negin Farsad in the afternoon and the Nerdcore film itself in the evening.
  • Oh yeah, and I have to squeeze in an Iron Man show somewhere in there.
