Spread love around like a bad fashion trend, or herpes.

Mimmi- Yeah, but ours was cut off because my dad didn't pay the entire bill, so I WIN. :P

Alex- I've never seen it in bookstores.. Of course, I've never looked. I recall seeing a few in Best Buy, though. Plus, if worst comes to worst, it's always available on Amazon.com, your number one source for online purchases! :D [/whoring]

Shin- Everything Shin needed to know about pop culture he learned from Futurama.

Mimmi- They have so many art books at Anime Expo.. But damn, they are expensive. Most of the time you can't look inside without buying them first, either.

I've become addicted to reading 55 Fiction in the past few days. It's too bad I don't have anything to contribute.

I went on a renting spree at Hollywood Video yesterday. The original goal was to rent 2001: A Space Odyssey and Katamari.. Damacy, Damancy, Damnity, Tenacity. Whatever. You know the game I mean.

I prefer Hollywood Video to Blockbuster just because it's a little less well-known. When people want to rent newer games, they flock to Blockbuster. I've found that it's always easier to just go to Hollywood Video and find what you're looking for.

Or, you know, just buy the game. I've found that driving back and forth between my house and both stores for a week straight costs as much in gas as it would to just get the Goddamn game permenantly.

Anyway, they didn't have Katamari, though 2001 was easy to find. I also decided to pick up Guilty Gear X, as my brother found SSX 3.

Guilty Gear, from the five minutes I spent playing it, was lame to the extreme. Screw oldschool-style fighting, bring me some friggin' analog controls.

SSX 3 is okay. I have really fond memories of sitting up in my friend's room playing SSX Tricky for hours on end.. Though I remember it being a lot more fun. It's still a good way to destroy my trigger fingers, though.

Speaking of destruction, I was totally owning everyone I played in Half-Life 2: Deathmatch yesterday. I picked up a crossbow, took care of anyone in my way until I made it to the shotgun, and blasted rebel heads off for about fifteen minutes (that's quite a spree in online FPS terms). The only thing that could end my reign of terror was my mom yelling at me to come eat dinner.

But isn't this the plight of all young online gamers? The dreaded dinner call?

I think I forgot to mention that my friend had a bunch of people over at her house the other day. I was going to go, but at the time I was way too congested and cough-ey to attend. It's too bad, too. It sounded like a lot of fun.

But at the same time, it's probably a good thing I didn't go. I'm very well aware of the fact that I put a big cloud over everyone around me.. I would wager that things were very different without me around. Or maybe I'm just paranoid.



That's about as much Valentine's sentiment you'll get out of me: A picture of a baby with a really lame caption that took me half a second to think up.

Unlike a lot of "people without special someones," I don't greet this particular holiday with a mountain of regret and negative vibes. I approach it neutrally- I don't care about it, end of story.

I was going to make a thread about how LokiTorrent, one rather large Bittorent site, got beaten, raped and then killed by the MPAA.. Or maybe about how Tecmo (Or Temco? It's one of the two) is suing some DOAX-modding website. I bet some good conversation could come out of it. What do you all think? I don't want to dedicate an hour or two of my time to writing a post that nobody's going to take a second glance at.
