A little bit of.. Well, you know.

Comment Commentary

Mimmi- You're missing out with this one.

Azure- And the "Senny Sucks" campaign came from this theory?

Shin- You'll play Yoshi's Touch & Go but you won't eat sushi.. I don't get it!11

Andy- My "vegetarian" friend still eats sushi. She says she mostly does it to save the animals.. That kind of vegetarian/environmentalism bothers me a lot.

Tony- Yeah, I wasn't planning on beating it. Just sampling it, seeing if it was worth a purchase.. And seeing that Best Buy's listing it for $20, I may as well.

My Windows Media Player's video playing is really.. Whack, right now. It shows everything at a very, very high contrast, or saturation, or something. Whatever it is, it isn't right, and reinstalling didn't help. So for now I'm sort of stuck only watching Quicktime files.

Which wouldn't be much of a problem (I prefer Quicktime anyway), if more sites streamed .avis. *shrugs* I'll just have to look around a bit.

The purpose of my life has withered bit by bit as the summer goes on, and at this point my only reason for existing is this: To keep my pillow company until noon, when I wake up, keep the animals and plants alive, and get the mail. If Jump Super Stars isn't in the mail, I go into a crippling depression, fall asleep, and repeat the cycle.

Well, there's a little more to it than that. My mom and brother are coming back tomorrow, so things will be more noisy, but I'll be able to go places again, which should be nice.

I've been keeping myself occupied with Street Fighter III and Tales of Symphonia. To be honest, I'm really surprised at how bad I am at Street Fighter. Part of it might be the fact that I had no idea how to do special moves since it didn't come with the instruction manual (and there isn't one built into the game).. I guess I was expecting my mad Soul Calibur skillz to transfer over, but evidently that's not how it works. I've gotten better.. Well, with Ryu at least. I still can't get past the third stage no matter what. God damn Chun Li.

Or whoever else it might be.

Tales of Symphonia has turned out to be entertaining. The voices are driving me insane, and the plot is hardly breathtaking, but the battle system is one of the most entertaining I've played in a while. It's real-time.. Sort of like Kingdom Hearts if it didn't suck. I've only been able to play it for three hours now, since I was held away from it for two of the five rental days, and I got absorbed in Street Fighter for a bit, but since it's $20 now, I plan on buying it. It reminds me of simpler times, back when I sat in the living room straining my eyes to figure out what the hell was going on in Golden Sun.

There's some sort of orientation thing going on tomorrow at the high school, which means I have to get up at a reasonable hour.

Damn it.

EDIT: Oh, right Naruto dub.

I just discovered that IMDB has some of the of the voice actors for the Naruto dub up. I'm satisfied with the choices for Kakashi and Naruto, though I'm a little worried about Sakura. Who'd have ever thought that Naruto would end up with Pokemon talent?

Still, FLCL voice director man may save the day. We'll see.
