My Final Moments of 2008
By Mjolnir 2 Comments
The new year is almost here, and I couldn't care less. All it means to me is that a bunch of people are crowded into Times Square and I've only got 5 days left of my Christmas Vacation. But, I haven't written a blog in a while (not that anyone reads them, or at least truly cares), so I might as well write one now. Oh, and my take on resolutions: They're a novelty. If you're serious about making changes, you are going to do it anyway, not just because you have to buy a new Gregorian calendar. But whatever yours may be, good luck.
I finally got Gears of War 2 last Thursday (some special occasion where people gave me stuff. it was cool :P) and I finished it earlier tonight on single-player Hardcore, which really isn't that hard. I'd say Epic Games lived up to their name on this one.
Other than that, I haven't been doing much with my vacation. I played through Knights of the Old Republic and watched Cowboy Bebop for about a week while my relatives were visiting. Chronic staying up late/sleeping in is never as fun as it is appealing. I attended my friend's belated Christmas dinner they held last Saturday night and ended up procuring a spyware-infected laptop because apparently I'm "good" with computers. I'm not. I just learn from friends who know a lot better. Long story short: After almost ruining the whole thing by perhaps accidentally deleting the wrong file in a virus scan, I came across a restore screen on startup that took everything back to what it should be. I proceeded to thank God immensely.
My Giant Bomb hoodie is too big, and it's preshrunk. :'( I did order the Brad/Mummy t-shirt along with it, but I let my (same) friend pick either one because I give him the latest bombcasts every once in a while and he loves 'em. Oh well, guess I'll have to grow some more. If you guys have any suggestions on what to buy with my Christmas money, state them below. I wanted CoD: World at War but never got it, and I've been thinking about Ace Combat 6 or Burnout Paradise: The Ultimate Box. While I'd like to spend, I know I should save.
Anyway, that's all I can think of. A Belated Merry Christmas to all of you (or Hanukkah, for whom it is applicable) and Happy Another Set of 365 Days That Will Go By Even Faster Than These Ones Did. Now, that ball actually getting dropped into the crowd in New York City, that's what I'd like to see :D
