Within minutes (minutes!) I will be leaving on a jet plane for fabulous Los Angeles, for the equally fabulous E3 convention, the weeklong gaming industry hype-fest that I have attended for seven straight years now. What will be accomplished there? Not a lot. My only real goal: breakfast every morning at The Pantry, a legendary L.A. greasy spoon with, according to one review I just Googled, "artery-clogging breakfasts." Yay!
In the meantime, this blog will sadly remain silent, I would think, as I am bringing no laptop to the show this year. Which sucks. However, I am afraid that somewhere around the sixth or seventh time that I dropped the laptop, I apparently did some damage to it. I don't get it, frankly.
Anyway, here are things I would blog about if I was around this year. Hopefully we'll get to it soon. I know you must be excited about that--I know I am.
1. Why am I suddenly getting fat? 40 years of being skinny, now a sad memory.
2. My obsession with the German band Kraftwerk, even though Germans scare me.
3. Airplane food--what's up with that? (Comedy jokes, folks. Comedy jokes.)
4. I forget.
5. My increasing desire to get on my motorcycle, leave the U.S., and never come back. Except then I'd miss In n' Out Burger too much. (See #1.)
6. Angelina Jolie--why she must be my second wife. A treatise.
7. Who loves cake? I do!
Okay, I gotta get on the plane. Let's, you know, roll.
