Sweet happenin’ hogwash, it has happened again.
With the advent of Pokémon Diamond and Pearl releasing in the US last Sunday, and since some friends are playing I once again picked up my Japanese version and got to work. I’m at over seventy hours of playtime. The game is still far from perfect, but damn does it still reel me in. I’ll write more later when I’m not bushwhacked but damn. If you enjoyed Pokémon once before and have a DS, do yourself a favor and pick up one of the new ones.
Damn.
My bowels are already fighting back.
Had Indian food for the first time last night. Chicken vindaloo. My goodness that burns like crazy. Yet it is quite tasty. A tad too pricey for the likes of me, $11 for a bowl that didn’t quite fill me up, but good food nonetheless.
Hot Fuzz also opens this weekend, which is good news for movie lovers almost everywhere. Seems that it didn’t get much of a wide release, but Rochester had it showing in a few places, so I caught an early evening show. I was very pleased.
If you enjoyed Shaun of the Dead, go see Hot Fuzz. (Same folks behind both films.) So go. Now. Seriously, get up and go to the closest theater that’s showing it. Hot Fuzz is, dare I say it, better than Shaun of the Dead, which I never saw coming. It takes a while for the film to build up, but the payoff is amazing.
What the fuck is this Grape Nuts bullshit? The entire title of the cereal is a lie.
I thank my parents for raising me in a safe, stable environment. But parents must also warn their children of potential dangers. Grape Nuts was not something I was warned about.
Grapes and nuts. All I was really expecting. Just some freeze dried grapes and nuts sprinkled through some kind of whole grain cereal. Instead I get a box of supposedly edible gravel.
I am not happy right now.
In my pee pee parts.
Holy shit this game is addicting. Part Bejeweled, part Dungeons and Dragons. Flip around some blocks, cast some spells, swing your sword of ass slaying +1 with an extra kick when you connect three skulls and there are an abundance of red blocks on the board. Pure awesomeness.
Needless to say, when I’m not reading about bullshit set theory shit or how many jiggawatts it takes to move an electron up my ass, I’m thinking about colored blocks touching each other to deal maximum damage to my enemy’s weak spot.
It’s that damn good.
I am going to Japan!
Rumours have it that JET results will be out tomorrow.
Now, of course that’s just rumours, but damn all if it doesn’t get my heart rate pumping. I’ve got homework to do and a quiz to study for, so I’m trying my damnedest to focus on other things, but fuck. It’s hard.
Wish me luck!
