Wall-E Pushed back...

So I'm currently waiting to meet some Filipino friends here in NYC. I'm expecting them to be on time. Hopefully. Anyway, just read that they pushed back Wall-E because someone won a law suit that said that he designed Wall-E and Pixar can't use his designs. This sucks. So they have to completely redesign him and render the movie again, which will delay the film by several months. WHy do people do this? Why can't they just be happy that their design made it to the big screen? Well, yeah, I mean, maybe Pixar should have just paid the guy for it rather than spending all the money at the drawing board again.
In other news, I've been tired. Very very tired. As in not really functioning properly tired. My feet have been hurting. Oh well, I'll probably stay off them for a few days (a plane, ahem). I just am not in the blogging mood, but I am, however, in the mood to just ramble. So if you don't mind, then fine.
I've played both the Wii and the 360. And sadly, I prefer the 360. I guess I'm just an old dog that can't learn new tricks. It's just so hard playign on a Wii. I mean, Super Smash Brawl was fun. But it's kind of annoying. If I had to choose between five minutes of Halo 3 or five minutes of Super Smash, I'd go with Halo 3. It was an overall great experience. Not to mention that Call of Duty 4 on it looks fantasticular. it's just everything is built for online play, which can be annoying if you have to pay P400 a month for XboX Live. I wonder if the Filipinos have figured out a way past this....Hmmmm...
In other news, Wrestlemania happened today and so far I've stayed spoiler free. This will become increasingly hard when I am in my aunt's house tomorrow and the next day with nothing to do but surf the internet or watch tv. So due to this, I've opted to do other productive things like learn to sew scarves...j/k. No, but i think I'm going to spend time reading a little bit. Picked up this Artemis Fowl book which I'll read and probably will get to Neil Gaiman stuff too. Neil Gaiman is starting to disappoint me. He seems to have great ideas and his dialogue's and descriptions are good, but his stories just don't move. It's like American Gods, the book I'm reading, is comprised of them walking around and talking. It's just talking heads, basically. There is no real main plot that is driving everything. The "down the rabbit hole" idea can only work for so long.
For Brian, Strong, and Yuna and whoever else wants to join the Bible Study I'm starting when I get back, I've decided that we study the book of Malachi. Yes. Malachi. It's a book that none of you have probably really studied hard core. So it should prove to be very intersting. Anyway, this is Mark signing out. See you in a week :-)
