im tired. so tired that my eyes are glazed over. george lucas...curse you and your infernal creation! somewhere in elmhurst, the neighborhood was rocked by the famous john williams score until the wee hours. i went with my brother to target last night to 'buy soda' (which to the brothers mar loosely translates into impulse shopping downstairs at best buy). some russian dweeb was sitting in a chair testing out the xbox version and we fell in love with the graphics and all the mayhem going on in the background. the maps are massive and there are hundreds of little guys running around killing each other. w00t! im in love with its mindlessly addicting goodness. its like cs with laser guns. dont trust the reviews, this game owns.
while we're on the topic, almost all the video games that come out these days suck. everyone is so hell bent on making things look pretty that they compromise the thing that matters most: game play. pacman is far from eye candy, but what makes it a classic is the fact that its simple yet addicting. remember adventure for the atari 2600? now that shit was hot. i dont think any of the titles that came out in the last few years will ever be remembered because theyre soulless showcases of technology, having none of the depth or character of the golden oldies of the past. holy shit...i sound like an old geezer. shuffleboard, anyone?
im getting fat. not this fat, but definitely slipping into dangerous territory. every morning, there is a tiny battle that wages in my head where good and evil match wits in a feverish debate over what i will have for breakfast. the good me wants to have oatmeal and an apple, but the evil me has his heart set on 2 eggs over easy, hash browns and sausage. theres a little heap of carcasses piled up behind my monitor of the imaginary cartoon angels who were slain, dying in vain trying to get me to eat healthier in a war they cannot hope to win. the cartoon devils are dancing and high fiving on my ergonomic foam keyboard strip, celebrating because i had mcdonalds again. sigh.

(stolen from my dearest princess leah who stole it from someone else who indoubtly stole it from someone also)
1. You are attracted to those who are warm and obedience.
2. In the process of courtship, the approach that would make you
feel irresistable is creative, never let you feel bored.
3. The impression you would like to give to your lover is optimistic.
4. What you hate most in your partner is that the person is
ruthless, cold-blooded, and/or ironic.
5. The kind of relationship you would like to build with your
partner is that both of you can talk about everything and
anything, no secret is kept.
6. You care about the society and morality, you won't do anything
wrong after marriage.
7. You always want to get married, but in fact, you don't even know
what it really is.
8. At this moment, you think of love as a committment for both parties.
not as far reaching as that other test i took a while back, but pretty close. mmmm...i feel like eating something exotic allasudden  |
