No logins, no access badges, no...... nothing.I did spend a very nice weekend, shopping, painting and playing the new Lego StarWars II game for the GameCube.

If you don't know what this is, it's a noir-ish film about High School kids, drugs and murder staring the kid out of "Third Rock From the Sun" (Joseph Gordon-Levit).  I'm not ashamed to say that I loved it.  It was gritty, dark and all the things I love about flicks like this.  I will say this about it though.  The fact that it was written in a very</atom:summary><link>http://cultural-flotsam.blogspot.com/2006/09/brick-noir.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (bigRed)</author><thr:total>0</thr:total></item><item><guid isPermaLink='false'>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34218885.post-513731640008863876</guid><pubDate>Wed, 13 Sep 2006 12:37:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2006-09-13T08:46:15.809-04:00</atom:updated><title>I love cheat codes.......</title><atom:summary type='text'>Yesterday was the release date for the new Lego Star Wars game.  As I am poor I'm not getting it till Friday but that didn't stop me from playing through the first game in it's entirety.  I love the cheat codes though.
