- Do not forget your wallet, or else you will never hear the end of it for the remainder of the trip.
- Kicking your friends’ asses at Tetris DS is extremely satisfying.
- It’s even more satisfying if done while drunk and taking a dump in the bathroom.
- You will only win at roulette if you use an extremely dumb method to choose the winning color.
- I have aged a lot in a span of three months. I went from being carded at every casino to being carded only once.
- I do not like Jägermeister
Hello neglected friend. I seem to have forgotten that the entire point of a blog is to journal about my life regardless of how boring it really is, in the hopes that other people will read and find it interesting. What a strange concept.
I’ve been playing a lot of Company of Heroes. Just for the record, I am an avid pirater of games simply because so many games I play are crap and not worth the asking price. I bought Company of Heroes based on the demo and have found it to be completely worth $40.
The gameplay requires a lot of micromanagement and is definitely on the strategic end of RTS games, so don’t expect to just amass a group of tanks and send them on their way across the map and hope they destroy the enemy’s base. There’s a lot of tactics that can be applied, and multiplayer is a whole other affair when working with a partner, as I’ve found in my games against the computer AI with Ron.
Tetris wi-fi sucks me in cause it’s so easy to think, “Just a quick game.” And before I know it, I’ve played for an hour. Plus, the DS is the perfect size for smashing against the wall in frustration when I get beat by some crazy Japanese player. It’s more fun when they have an English name, cause then I can scream at ‘em when they beat me.
Sufjan Stevens has kept me very happy these past few weeks with his music. I went on a Sufjan fix after seeing Little Miss Sunshine. He manages to combine the best qualities of music. Horns? Check. Clapping? Check.
Meanwhile, the new Killers’ album is very mediocre. Shame.

I am addicted to Tetris DS. My eyes are blurry from playing so much. I’ve only played the single player game for a few minutes, but multiplayer has got me completely hooked. The new “hold” feature that’s been implemented feels a little cheesy, but after adjusting it adds a new layer of strategy.
I ran 5 miles on Sunday as part of the Nike Run Hit Remix. My time came in at just over an hour. Stop laughing. I’m just happy I finished.
Me and seven of my friends got jaywalking tickets in Old Town Pasadena, at that weird intersection right in front of Buca de Beppo where there’s that big sign saying “Do not cross here.” Instead of paying a bail fee of $114, they should give us the option of attending walking school, with the curriculum consisting of “Walk only where the government allows you to walk.”
My friends made me dance like a fool and get my ass spanked at Hooters for my birthday. Then they all gave me a DS Lite and I was kinda sad cause friends are awesome and they shouldn’t have. I still haven’t seen any photos or videos from the night, so I imagine they’re editing them together to make a “greatest hits” compilation which will probably make its debut in Youtube.
I’m finally getting around to finishing the Firefly DVD Set. Such great TV, and yet watching the show only causes great anger at Fox for canceling it. Bastards.
No super wide-screen video iPod like I was hoping. The new Nanos look just like the old minis now with their aluminum casing and look rather blah compared to the first gen Nanos. New shuffle design is pretty sweet though. For anyone who’s interested, Apple’s selling refurbished first-gen 2GB Nanos for $99.
The Nintendo Wii has a release date of November 19 and a price of $249. I want.
