Wow.  I just realized my blog is due in two minutes and I have no idea what I should write about.  I guess I’ll just type whatever comes to mind. 
When arriving back from New York Comic Con last Monday, I was instantly stricken with the Nerd Flu.  It’s been an entire week and I’m just now coming back to normal.  My friend Nigel says it’s because I walked through nerd farts, but surprisingly Comic Con was odor free.  It was nothing like a weekend at PAX.  People that have attended PAX know how bad the smell can be.  If I were to mix up armpits, rotten eggs and onions into a bowl I might create the horrid smell that comes from these conventions. 
Moving on…
Wednesday was probably the worst day I could’ve been sick.  I had a phone interview for this Community Manager position I really wanted.  I even woke up early so I could prepare.  Any other day I would’ve felt completely confident taking this call, but I knew this day was destined for failure; my head was so cloudy from the Nerd Flu and to make matters worse I could barely speak from a sore throat.  I was hesitant to take Dayquil, but I knew I needed something to help get me through this call. The medicine didn’t help me at all, it probably made things worse.  I could not concentrate on any of the questions from the phone interview because my head just felt so foggy.  I would hear the question, know how to answer it, but when it came time to spit it out I just couldn’t.  I was a mess!  I just remember repeating myself a lot.  Have any of you ever been so sick that everything happening seems like a dream?  This is actually what this day felt like to me, only it was a nightmare. 
In hindsight, I wish I had rescheduled.  If only I could have done the interview a few days later, I would’ve been golden, or at least satisfied that I tried my best. 
I know there is a moral to this story…thinking….thinking…..got it!  Don’t be afraid to reschedule an interview if you’re on your death bed.  Yeah, they might be a little annoyed that you’re already making request but at least you won’t sound like a totally nub cake during your interview.
On to the next…
Yesterday, I was looking through my NYCC pictures and stumble across a picture of Slickrick playing Fear 2: Project Origin.  It reminded me that it had just been released and I rushed out and bought the game.  I played the first one on my PC years back and it was the only game that has ever scared me enough to scream out loud.  This time around I’m playing it on Xbox360 and I have yet to be scared.  I’m thinking it’s because I’m lying in bed playing about 10 feet away from the TV, whereas playing it on the PC my face was only inches away from the action.
So as you have read my week has been sort of blah and disappointing.  Hopefully, with Rhoulette and I presenting at the DICE Awards this Thursday I will have a more entertaining blog for you guys next week.

Until then… How about that Killzone 2 demo? Sexy!
