Excitement train!
Nooot much going on lately. I gave blood yesterday and it was the first time I'd gotten nauseous at the end. I think it was because they normally take it with me laying down, and this time I did it at a fire station where they set up some odd chairs that had me tilting my arm down at an uncomfortable angle. Ah well, I'd still do it even if I got nauseous every time X)
I saw 1408, which was worthy of the positive reviews it received. Very impressively creepy without resorting to -too- many cheap scare tactics or gore etc. The ending felt kiiind of like a cop-out, but eh~
Birthday's coming up in about two weeks, and it's nothing major.. 26 is an age of no consequence whatsoever, and I don't like making a fuss of it.. so I just enjoy the gifts and time with family. Alex will actually be comng home from his summer work on the day of my b-day.. but unfortunately that's a Monday, so it's less conducive to the whole family hanging out. I'm more excited about the Simpsons Movie coming out then, than anything =D
Also, it's amazing to me how the creator of VGCats continually becomes more and more of the exact kind of person I would -not- want to become if I had internet fame. He has quite the balls to leave the "updated Mondays!" as his website tag, given he probably hasn't had a Monday update in months. He rarely updates, and his last several have been terribly unfunny. Then, instead of working on getting comics for everyone, he's like 'sorry I didn't do the comic again, but we've got PLUSHIES FOR SALE!!'.. punk, and they probably sold well too. For someone who apparently lives off merchandise sales, you'd think he could have some consistency and appreciation for those funding his lazy ass... Penny Arcade always updates on time, Homestarrunner usually has complicated flash animations up weekly among other fan stuff, and hell, Real Life comics has one every day. I feel guilty that someone bought me a shirt from his webstore, now! Worst work ethic/fan appreciation ever.
Off to work, everyone have a great day~
EDIT: Oh right, and I'm playing Suikoden 3 now. It's.. okay so far. Obviously made in the earlier days of PS2 RPGs, as there's some graphical and control flaws 'n annoyances. But, I chose the wrong character to start with (Hugo) and am enjoying it slightly more with Geddoe, so we shall see how this turns out.
