Well... I couldn't decide on a single topic to write on... so I decided to do several.

1. Anime!

Check out "Paprika" if you're an anime fan. The end felt a little tacked on, but the movie itself was pretty freakin' cool.

2. Computer lust

I've received every one of my parts EXCEPT THE FREAKIN' MOTHERBOARD and my two video cards. I might have been able to actually build my freakin' system if I had maybe had the motherboard and if they could have left out the optical drive or something for next round, it would have helped! Dammit, I have New Year's day off, and I was hoping to do get it up and running. As it was, I won't get my motherboard until after any hopes of me getting time off.

Also, school starts again for me on Jan. 6th, so it's going to get worse!

3. I have decided I don't need a life...

I just filled out the paperwork and submitted the financial aid forms... guess who's going undergrad?

Hell... I'm probably going for my Masters... only three more years of no sleep, limited free time and lots of stress...

4. I hate cell phone companies... nothing like being offered "such a deal!" on the phone you buy with your plan... then you can upgrade cheaply after two years. Which means unless I want to pay $500.00 for a phone, I'll be waiting until mid-2009. Yeeha...

5. Fans of Mystery Science Theater:

If you've been in the dark, check out "The Film Crew" (the MST3K crew has managed to put out four new movies under a new premise). Also, check this out: Welcome to RiffTrax!

"Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory" and "The Matrix" were the best picks (so far, I haven't watched them all)... Indiana Jones was pretty good as well!

7. All work and no play makes... uhh... me. Dah!

Regardless, I'm still playing OniMusha 3: Demon Seige. No bad, but I don't really like playing Jacques that much. The Indiana Jones-esque feel of the whip is cool, but I prefer sword-wielding samurai.

8. Cool books I've read recently:

Siren of Titan - Kurt Vonnegut
The Call of Cthulu and other weird stories - H.P. Lovecraft
A trailside Series Guide: Hiking and Backpacking -Karen Berger
The Essential Guide to Motorcycle Travel -Dale Coyner
The Metamorphasis - Franz Kafka
Dummies Guide to Japanese

9. Why do my relatives only call me when they want tech support?

10. GTA: San Andreas "The soundtrack" pisses me off... as they don't have SFUR on there!

Anyway... hopefully I'll be able to coax my brain to produce more meaningful content later... but right now I'm a little giddy from not being at work at the moment with no homework due. I'm sure I'll return to your regularly scheduled postings once the pressure is back on...
