And here you thought a profile redesign would mean more updates. Pshaw.
So, my life has been surprisingly busy, even with the summer upon me. I've been taking care of my aunt, who was recovering from surgery.

I got free meals out of it and saw some nice classic movies, which have solidified my fascination with the great Judy Garland. And trollies. Clang clang.

So, I went to the movies the other day. I must say, Dodgeball is a much better movie than I expected. It was very clever, had William Shatner, Chuck Norris, and Davie Hasselhoff.

I hope that that name is spelled right, or I might have a league of Germans stoning me for blasphemy.

Gaming, gaming, gaming, and just for a change of pace, knitting.

My gaming life has been growing increasingly more enjoyable. I've been beating games left and right.

Of all the next-gen games I have, I've beaten. Almost. I haven't beaten quite a few PS2 games, but I have such irregular access to a PS2 that it can't be helped.

I've beaten the last of my Gameboy games, so that left a huge hole in my daily routine. I need to pick up more.

I still have two X-Box games left to conquer. Indiana Jones and the Emperor's Tomb and Shenmue2. The latter is a freaking awesome game, despite the insufferable lack of fighting. The former is decent.

I have recently made two incredible purchases involving video games.

The first is a throwback to just about everyone's childhood. I found a copy of Duck Hunt. And let me make this clear: this is not Duck Hunt coupled with Super Mario Brothers or Super Track Meet, this is Duck Hunt by itself. I found it in it's box, with an instruction booklet, and it only cost me a dollar. It was one of the greatest experiences of my life.

The second of these is even better. What could be better than Duck Hunt? Why, only the greatest "portable" system in the world. That's right, ladies and gentlemen, I have purchased a Virtua Boy. It was bloody awesome. It was so awesome, that the bag I was carrying it in ripped apart because it couldn't handle the awesome. This is my crowning achievement, boys and girls. I can die a happy man.


Random thoughts.

The local 80's station is changing it's format, but for this week they're playing TV show themes. The Underdog theme is playing now.

Sara, I'd recommend starting the Candyland RPG without me. I doubt I'll have enough time.

TTFN. Ta-ta for now.
