Wow. So I mentioned Hourou Musuko an entry or two ago, which is a manga I spent the better part of last weekend reading and then gave me a complex on Monday, because it's fascinating, blahblahblah. It's been around since 2002, never thought it would come to the States at this rate. An entry on Amazon just appeared for the first volume coming out in December. I hope it's real.
Beat Ratchet & Clank: Tools of Destruction AND Heavy Rain this weekend, bringing my total up to 8. Favorite game I've finished so far.
Starting to think of what I want to do in Tokyo while I'm there now. ^^; |

I'm selling some of my anime.
It's a bit of a big deal for me. There's the whole hoarding aspect of my life which is quite wonderful. I might want... need to watch Battle Athletes Victory again. Or Hyper Doll. Some shows I have brought with me to my parents, because I've entertained the idea of making "car copies" of a couple of these shows just so I don't really have to say goodbye to them. Although, if I haven't watched some of these shows in... 7 years, I probably don't need them.
There's also the whole, "Man, I'm getting rid of a part of my hobby and something that's been around for half of my life."
I'm trying to spin this in a "I don't need shitty anime in my collection" light. Negima! is not a show for me and I sank $100 into it. I don't like it. I don't want it.
Anyway, it's kinda weird for me and that's the best I can explain it. I'm looking to get rid of a number of one-shots and series that have been on my shelf for a while. It will be nice to free some of it. |

Thankfully feeling good today. Little more level-headed.
January Pick-Up Post:
I like the pick-up posts at NeoGAF because it is fun to see what everyone is buying for their consoles or homes. I went through a period where I wasn't spending any money and now I am spending it like... well, probably like an average person. So, I'll probably post a couple of 'pick-up' posts over the month.
I wasn't expecting to have bought so much shit already, but I guess being out of town for the first weekend of the year helps that. I know I already have a backlog of games that I want to play, but I also need to be realistic. I'm not going to beat every one of those games. Some I haven't opened (and have had for a year) and I'm going to start playing them and forget about them (and probably sell them to someone for a couple of dollars) and others I can't wait to play. Sometimes, amazing deals show up and you just have to take advantage while you can. So, with that said, I have already purchased more new games than there have been days this year.
First pic: Killer 7 (PS2); Motion Control: Pikmin and ExciteboYs (all for $5 each!)
Second pic: Phantasy Star Portable (PSP- half-price); Ben Folds "Rockin' the Suburbs"; Phantom Hourglass (free); Jam Sessions (free); Tokyo Beat Down (which sucks unfortunately)
So, got a lot of stuff and haven't really had to pay anything. Phantasy Star Portable was the most expensive thing I bought and it was $20. :P

Also, don't forget I have an anime blog called Only Pussies Throw Fireballs until they want me to renew my domain at full price. :| |

Played an obscene amount of Uncharted 2 last night (and part of today). Trying to get all of the trophies, so I can get a real platinum trophy to put next to my Hannah Montana one :|
I've finished my write-ups on To Heart and just moved onto Naohito Takahashi's other series on the list: Berserk.
Been watching Maison Ikkoku, which has been entirely pleasant. Up to episode... 40. Also finally cracked open the Shigurui blu-ray set.
Also, Dalibor greeted me this morning by telling me he got an $8,000 bonus with a bunch of higher-ups that don't even work at this branch on the email today.
Been listening to a lot of Cibo Matto again recently. |

Is it odd that Californication wants to make me be a writer for real?

Here is a link to a new mix I just made!
Download it at ZShare
I made three mixes in the past couple of weeks, one should have rolled out for Halloween but didn't. This is kinda my Thanksgiving one that I'll post to facebitch next week.
Umm.. what songs are on this thing. Some of the usual suspects, the Persona 3 ending song, I hear a little Freddie Mercury in there, PERFUME. It's pretty fun I think. 50 minutes long, play it and tune out.

Obligatory blog plug. Sorry this is short, I'm standing right now. |

Wow, I'm on a weird nostalgia trip right now because of this website:
Kildonan Place
I haven't been to that mall in at least ten years. |

Hey everyone:
Work has been rather decent; you know, since we formed one team and had A BOSS to tell us what to work on, it's been much smoother. Although, I just got a shitload of stuff dumped on me to pick up the slack for someone. :| I'm going to see what I can pawn off tomorrow, because I'm worried about meeting the timelines for MY stuff right now.

On the writing front: For NaNoWriMo, I've started a really personal project that... probably nobody will ever get to read. Well, I'll let a few people check it out, but it's essentially all about me and the past ten years. I think I can actually write 50,000 words still this month because I know the topic so well. *cough* If anything, it'll give me the strength/confidence to be able to shit out an actual 50,000 page novel at this rate.
I posted a couple more drabbles at fanfiction.net (This is the link to the first chapter) The new ones are 4 through 6. Actually, I may have posted #4 on here before (about Yaten and Luna). #5 and #6 go together and are about Ami.
Also have made a couple of updates at Only Pussies Throw Fireballs over the past couple of weeks, so feel free to check those out.

I went cleaning crazy yesterday. I am a bit of a hoarder (not bad enough to be featured on a television show, but I do save an abnormal amount of shit that I think I'm going to need for no reason and about once a year, I embark on a huge throwing shit out binge. I've never actually gone through clothes however, in case I want to wear that one shirt sometime. This time, I pretty much said fuck it and got rid of a ton of shirts (well, donated them to thrift store) and then took almost all of my t-shirts off the hangers and folded them and put them in stacks on a closet shelf. So, I can now hang up my hoodies in the closet as opposed to alternating them between the chair in my room and then the bed when I want to sit in the chair.
--
In addition to anime backlog (which actually isn't big; it's more "stuff I want to watch log". This is coupled with "shows I need to rewatch for Tremendous Thirty"), I want to really get through game backlog, but so many awesome games are coming out. :| I DID finish Uncharted 2 (may have mentioned that last entry). I'm about to tear open Muramasa for Wii and play a little bit. I can't tell you how much I want to check out Jurassic: The Hunted.
--
If you made it this far: Next shows for the Tremendous Thirty should be: To Heart and Berserk. |
