(no subject)
For some reason I have a lot on my mind tonight. I've been trying to filter through it but I don't think I've gotten anywhere with it. Gir offered to listen to what was on my mind, but it's just stuff I don't really want to talk to anyone about. Today just brought back a lot of memories. A lot of different memories and emotions all at once. Dave brought back some memories, Jorge brought some, Joe brought some, and even JoJo brought some back to me. I found myself thinking about a lot of painful things. They're all things I've dealt with and no longer have issues with. Normally, they're things that when I think about them, they're just indifferent memories, but for some reason today it was like someone had breathed new life into them.
It wasn't a bad day actually and despite all the emotions and memories I was fairly happy today. I wanted to make Dave's life all better, but though I know I can't, I know I'm helping. He feels good talking about it and I listen attentively. Sometimes that's all you need. Plus, I'm running the store while he goes through this. I know that helps a lot too.
Right now there's a particular thing whirling through my head and although I have an idea of where the thought came from, I'm kinda suprised at the thought being there. It's hard to explain. Maybe I'm just tired. I know I will be tired this week. I have to work 6 days this week. Sunday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, and Saturday. I also need to read the chapter on Aristotle for philosophy, do four homework assignments for math, and I'm supposed to start on a 7-9 page paper for career exploration but I highly doubt I'll start until like a few days before it's due.
The holiday season has started so much earlier this year. I already have people coming in and getting upset that the preorders for the new systems are sold out. I explain the situation and apologize for the inconvenience, but I really just want to say, "Uh, excuse me...what the fuck? You show up a two weeks before the system launch and actually expect to get one. Hahaha! What the hell were you thinking?"
Oh and this Wednesday is going to fucking blow. New releases: Gears of War, Call of Duty 3, Socom: Combined Assault, The Sopranos, Dragonball Z: Tenkaichi 2, Tony Hawk: Project 8, Socom: Fireteam Bravo, Blitz: The League for 360, Splinter Cell: Double Agent (PC), Sims 2: Happy Holiday Stuff, Sims 2: Pets (GBA). There's even more little titles that no one gives a shit about. To the companies: I understand the need to compete but that's ridiculous! At least eight HUGE titles all on one day (not to mention fairly popular titles and several unknowns). I feel hatred for certain companies right now. I hate you Atari, Activision, EA, THQ, Midway, Microsoft, and Ubi Soft! Don't stop making games...just spread them out damnit! Gah and last I check we had around 115 Gears of War preorders.
Info for customers:
We are taking reservations on Halo 3. There are 3 editions. Regular ($59.99 - $5 down to reserve), Collector's ($69.99 - $10 down to reserve), and Legendary ($99.99 - $25 down to reserve). I know many people are going 'Holy shit! 100 bucks? What the fuck for?' With the legendary edition you get bunch of extra shit but the main thing is you an actual Spartan Mjolnir Mark VI Helmet Replica.
Sadly, I even know the dimensions of the helmet. Width: 8.5", Height: 10", Depth: 11.5".
If you want it...preorder it. They're gonna be uber-limited.
Also, would you like to play the Wii before it comes out? We'll have an interactive demo unit in our store early next week. No other retailers other than EB Games and Gamestop will have a demo until due to the controllers. In fact, because of the controllers you MUST, I repeat MUST have a driver's liscense or credit card with you. For us to give you the nunchuck controller, we have to take your ID and actually lock it up. I have the feeling this is a bad idea, but Nintendo said they will not tether the controllers because it hampers the full motion capabilities. I give it maybe a month before they tether them.
Ok, so I've gone on a rant and my mind has changed gears so that's good I guess. I always write on here when I'm being emo. I'm sorry. That must suck to read, but hey! maybe this time you learned something cool.
I'm going to bed.
