So in my attempt to get back on track for this month, yesterday I went back to listening to my 50 tracks a day on iTunes to the point where if I did the math correctly, to make up for my week of not listening to any new stuff, and to hit my goal of 1,500 tracks that I listened to for the month, all I would have to do is listen to 60 new tracks a day. Not bad. Also I am back to moving my DVDs to digital and I am back to blogging on Monday and Friday. Wooooo! Anyways let's get started!

So this is week two for Coachella and I refuse to leave my house because the Coachella kids suck at driving. Let's recap last week: the family went back to Hawaii and I decided to go out because to run some errands and do my usual of check out what's going on a Walmart (you did this to me Target when you decided to close your doors at my favorite store) and I ran into these folks. We had rich guy in Porsche (I'm in the Porshaaa camp, because I've always said it this way and one of my former professors who restores them also said this was the correct way to say it) who was going super slow in the fast lane, while on the phone, another guy who decided that the intersection was the perfect time to change lanes, and my personal favorite guy who doesn't understand the concept of a four way stop honks at you because you took your turn and didn't let him skip. Granted I live in a small town and a lot of the Coachella kids probably look down on it because they're from LA, SD, or any other big city but common sense on the roads people! It's not that hard. Anyways let's get started.

So this is my current situation, I'm trying to get back into my normal groove. I'm a little (a lot) behind here reading and commenting, I haven't been listening to my 50 songs a day, the podcast list is backed up to about a week, and I'm spending the time that I would normally dedicate to those activities to randomly searching YouTube for various videos. April is quickly becoming my lazy month. Other than that everything is a-ok here in breezy Southern California. The Coachella kids are gone...until the end of the week but there is a movie being filmed at the Polo Grounds (where Coachella takes place) and I've been debating if I should go be an extra. The only requirement is that I have to dress like I'm going to a country music concert, and I think I have to donate $10 to Lady Gaga's charity. The bonus is they are going to raffle off various prizes throughout the filming so it might be fun. We shall see if I can find the free time to check it out.

Good morning Pixlpeeps! It is Friday and I have to admit I haven't been around much this week and that is because I have family from Hawaii visiting so the week has been spent hanging with them, playing some games, playing with Lego, and visiting the neighborhood pool. We would have used the neighborhood clubhouse but they are still in remodel phase for another week or so (hopefully, I miss the treadmill). Because of this I haven't read any blogs and commented on them. Since the Coachella kids are invading for week 1 I will probably not venture outside much if at all so I have that time to catch up. Anyways let's get started with another Quick Hits.

You know at some point I really need to get back to my usual routine of Monday/Friday entries but for now Tuesday will have to do. Good morning Pixlpeeps! It is a nice and cool Tuesday morning here and the entry I should have written yesterday but I got sidetracked by a muffin. Today I will save the muffin for after I write this so that will either calm the appetite down a bit or I will rush through this blog entry and it will show, either way let's get started.

Well hello Pixlpeeps! This is a special Saturday edition of Quick Hits because the family is visiting so much of the day is spent hanging out, playing games, and enjoying the company. So because of that here we are and yes I have some things to talk about. Let's get started.

Well good morning Pixlpeeps! I hope you good people had a wonderful weekend that full of games and other fun gaming related items. I didn't spend a lot of time on games this past weekend because of a little event that was on the WWE Network known as WrestleMania 33. It did have some game moments when the hosts The New Day dressed up as characters from Final Fantasy

I think the windstorm is over. Yesterday in the morning it was calm and then right when it hit 2 or 3pm the winds kicked up and soon the news was filled with various trees around the valley being toppled and the police telling people to not go outside if they don't have to. That was an interesting Thursday afternoon. Good morning Pixlpeeps! Friday is back and I am ready to hit the local mom & pop later on today in hopes of finding something “new” (not in new releases but in older CDs I don't have in the library) and take part in the weekly trip to the local casino buffet for seafood night. Before all of that let's get started with Quick Hits!

Today is release day for MLB 17 The Show. I'm still on the fence if I should buy the game or just continue playing MLB 16. Last year I pre-ordered the game, and by pre-order I mean I walked into a Target bought one of those $1 cards that gets me the game and a $5 gift card to use on another trip. If you purchase your game at the Electronics section, you can use the gift card on something else like a $20 PSN card at the front of the store. Anyways I didn't play much of last year's game, only getting video game Chris to put up monster numbers in the minors just to be brought up by a struggling Mets squad that wasn't winning after the All Star Break. Anyways I never finished the game and maybe this might be the first year I play the game for more than two seasons.

Good morning Pixlpeeps and happy Friday! I have to say this week went by fast and even though my little piece of Southern California was teased with more rain, we didn't get a drop but the temperatures dropped from being 15 degrees over normal, to a more manageable below normal temperatures. Most likely it will go back up after this weekend but I'm not ready to get back to the summer heat. Anyways how are you good people? Anything fun planned this weekend? Let's get started with this week's Quick Hits!
