No call yet.

No call yet. Had a nice weekend though:
- Yard sales are super awesome.
- Drapes are an item that we have.
- Tasty food is pretty cool.
- Hanging out with people is neat.
- Our little bell pepper plants are coming along decently.
- Cheap Corelle and cheap scrapbooking stuff make a weekend what it is.
- Played Wii Fit and the Penny Arcade game; see below.

The Penny Arcade game - it would be wrong for me to say "fun"; it may well be fun, but I'm not the one playing it so I can't say from firsthand experience whether it is so - but it is entertaining as a spectator sport, and the writing is really tight.

Wii Fit - I am finding it enjoyable. I am an amateur penguin.

Also, no KR:AIE DLC update yet, although I noticed a discrepancy between the DLC menu (142 songs) and the list I've been maintaining on Wikipedia (previously 148 songs), so I went through and identified the six songs now missing from the available DLC. It's all stuff I clearly remember seeing on Marketplace previously; no word yet on whether they're also gone from the PlayStation Store. But given the, uh, general content themes, I'm guessing it was something to do with DLC generally not being allowed to exceed the rating of the game it's for *. And AI Encore is straight-up E - not even E10+ like some of the others - so I can see where they just might choose to pull stuff like "Lady Marmalade" and "Let's Get It On." (It's clearly not an licensing issue, because other DLC by the same artists remains.)

But it's kind of weird, really, because of the six songs, four (and probably the most egregious "offenders" at that) were on-disc in KR2, and that was plain E, not E10. And yet, withdrawn as optional DLC for a game with the same rating? Weird. (The other two were one each from KR1 and KR:AI1, E and E10 respectively, but four from a single game makes for a much more obvious wtf.)

* Research indicates that it can, actually, if it's optional content, but the higher-rated optional content has to display its rating before download. Which would require Konami to, you know, put forth effort. So maybe they'll return with updated information. But then someone might want to address KR2. And that would take thinking. So, never mind.
