I have three purple hearts!
I don't really have much time, so I'll try to make this brief.

Half-Life owns. I remember telling Shin that I've never played a first person shooter that I really liked a little while back, but now I certainly have. The atmosphere created in Half-Life is intense, and despite the somewhat dated graphics, I still found myself on the edge of my seat.

I got a couple hours in (The Marine dudes are starting to pop up), downloaded Steam for the sake of Counter-Strike, but some of the files must not have transferred or something. None of the games would work- The computer couldn't find hl.exe. So, sadly, I uninstalled all of the Steam and HL files (CS too, but I never got to play it), reinstalled Half-Life, and I'm back at the beginning. I suppose I brought it upon myself, in a way, and I'm probably going to end up playing through the game a few times anyway.

I listened to all of the DDR soundtrack a couple days ago, and it was good, but I wasn't left with the sense that I had what I paid for. As strange as it sounds, there was too much techno/hip hop stuff on it. I really would have been happier if it were a compilation of all of the bubbly happy J-pop songs sung in squeakily high voices.

Strange, no?

In other news, my dad got nine straight days off. Such an event has not been seen since.. Well, my mom and dad's honeymoon, heh. He's had time off, but it's generally for weddings or funerals. Needless to say, he's quite happy.

As happy as he is insane.

I woke up to the sound of our local rock station as he was yelling "ROCK AND ROLL VACATION!!" I then slept for a while, as everything he talked about has "Rock and roll" as an adjective.

Rock and roll shirt. Rock and roll television. Rock and roll pants.

He then rudely woke me up, and I continued trying to sleep as he was playing my stereo's radio at rather loud levels.

My mom somewhat joined in, singing all of the songs and such, while freaking about our grandmother coming from Pittsburgh to visit for, like, a week. She's coming into LAX tonight, actually, and the schedule conflicts with Family Guy, hosted by the creator himself. Oh, and Reno 911. I can't believe I'm missing Reno..

Speaking of my personal life, I now have another cousin. He was born at 8:30 this morning, and we're probably going down to San Diego to meet him tomorrow.

After that, we'll be up in the San Diego area for a few days. So you all probably won't be getting your daily dose of Sennen.

I, however, live with the guy. *laughs at your misfortune*

Now if you'll excuse me, I'm going to go sit on my rock and roll ass and make some rock and roll waffles while watching rock and roll coverage of the Democratic National Convention.

EDIT: The new DS design is sexy.
