So, today I woke up at 5:30, went downstairs to get my jury notice, and called to see if I were to report. Turns out I have to call on Tuesday now because of MLK Day (wasn't his birthday on the 15th? What the fuck?) to see if I report the following day which is kind of a nuisance because I have episode 2 of my show then. Although being that January has 5 Wednesdays, it might work out for the better. Either way, it's somewhat annoying being on hold for a few days with no certain confirmation. Then again, back in 2004, I was to report the next day as soon as I called so I guess I should be grateful. Maybe I'll slip by this week and be free from it!

Other than that, I combined two cans of SpaghettiO's (one franks, one meatballs) and ate the whole thing. I've been eating less lately, for some reason. I guess I'm just never in the mood to prepare something. There's also no good Chinese places around here. Maybe I should try some I've never been to and find one I like. Chin Chin Cafe was amazing until last year, then they just went downhill. The quality of food is nothing like it used to be. It really makes me sad because they were great.

I then played some Blast Factor on PS3 for a bit. I finally bought it due to the new cheap bundle that includes the full game, multiplayer, and "Advanced Research" for only $12.99. It feels a lot like Geometry Wars Galaxies with the borders and such. It gets pretty tough; I've only managed to get halfway through "Basic Research". I still need to finish Ratchet & Crank: Tools of Destruction though I've just been bogged down with Danbooru and need to catch up which feels impossible now but I need to stop being lazy and just do it.

So a lot of good games are coming out. I have been conserving my money mainly for the surge of awesome figurines coming out the next couple months, but I'm making sure I get these games.

• Firstly, we have No More Heroes. Suda Goichi. I don't need to say any more than that.


• Second, there's Super Smash Bros. Brawl. I'm not excited for this in the same way others are. I'm really looking forward to what looks like a great single-player experience.


• Third, is Devil May Cry 4. I haven't played any of the other ones but it'll be good to finally have a nice game for PS3.

After that, I need to earn money for AX08 coming up here in July. I think more than anything this year, I'm looking forward to that, unless I am indeed going back to UK again. I'm going to try and get my money's worth this year and not just leave early or hang out at the arcade most of the time. But I'm really looking forward to it being at the LACC (where E3 used to always be). I haven't been there since E306.

This entry turned out to be bigger than I first thought it would (no surprise there). I have a lot to say about the ridiculous writer's strike but I'll save that for when/if it ends (hopefully it won't).

P.S. I took this picture last night after taking my shower. I lol'd because it looked like a ghost so I guess my bathroom is haunted.
