   Gimme fuel, gimme fire, gimme that which I desire . . . . .
Man, I've been very uninteresting around here these past few days. A shame . . . I should get back on top of that some time . . . . .

Lessee . . . I'm working a lot this week, so my days away from school are all work days. Leaves little time to play games and stuff . . . or watch DVDs . . . . or stuff . . . oh yeah, I STILL don't have "Rome Total War: Barbarian Invasion" yet - there've been shipping issues. I'll check today on my way to school, maybe. To satiate my Roman bloodlust, meanwhile, I picked up "Shadow of Rome" for PS2. Fun gladiator/stealth game, very over the top violent (y'know, chop a guy's arm off, beat him with his own arm for a bit, then cheer a bit, then the crowd throws you a big sword, then you chop of the guy's head, then you pick up his head and show it to the audience, and then they cheer some more . . . good times . . .).

Other than that, I'm still behind in all my readings (that's a given by now, methinks), and . . . I picked up a funky book about surviving a zombie invasion (thanks go out to Molly for the recommendation). And yes, I know there's an irony in reading a book about how shotguns are in fact inferior zombie-killing guns than .22 hunting rifles instead of reading school stuff. Meh.

Umm . . . I've also heard that my last few packages have started arriving at people's houses. I have also learned that I mixed up the letters in the packages, so the one sent to Virginia ended up with a message for someone in Florida. I felt dumb.

That's about it, then. May you all have a happy . . . . . what day is it today . . . . Tuesday.


Random SomeGuy Trivia: I am in fact not the original "SomeGuy"; the original one was a dude from kung-fu. One dark night about . . . I dunno, about six/seven years ago, he came to our house and rang the doorbell. My younger brother looked through the peephole, and didn't recognise him (porch light was off). He left the door and came back (as befits "stranger-conduct"). I asked, "who was it?" He goes, "I dunno, some guy . . ." I checked the peephole, recognised the guy immediately (the guy from kung-fu who got married in July, in fact!) and let him in.
From that day on for the new few months or so, my brother always greeted him as "hey some guy". During the year or so, I just liked the sound of it and it became my official internet-name.
