I've been busy. Been playing video games, watching Anime and bumming around. I also had a bunch of drugs shot into my arm. Good times.

Video Games:
Goblin Commander - Interesting game. Its a real time strategy game. Its a poor man's warcraft 3, but it killed some time. Well, really, Shine and I killed a bunch of critters that were running around the world. Found a Black and White-esque monster that eats shit like his own troops and then stopped. Eh.

Zelda: Link to the Past - It still rules. So much time I need to spend on it. W00t! Sometimes, I actually like being a commuter.

Anime:
Gasaraki - its medium sized robot fighting. Not Eva sized, not even Gundam Wing sized. Its an actually practical sized human controlled robot. I don't think its got a great cockpit interface, but I haven't seen one I liked yet. Not even Evangelion, which I thought was awesome, even if otherPat calls me a cockmuncher for it. Its got some weird stuff going on, but as I'm only 7 episodes in, its all still hazy.

Cowboy Bebop - A great, great series. Just spectacular. Its dark, it has its funny moments and the characters are very easy to get into. And, like many great stories, it gets better the second time through. That's really the test for me, can I read/watch/listen to this story again? Will it continue to make me think/laugh/want to hit Koby in the head for never posting? Or, is it a great rental, talk about the one good scene/paragraph it had and then move on?

Gasaraki may be a one watch only, not real sure. Cowboy Bebop? I'm gonna be watching this one for years.

I'm going to Kalkota next wednesday. Yeah, its in India. It used to be called Calcutta. Who knew? I'm gonna be gone for 3.5 weeks. I'll be putting stuff up while I'm over there. It should be some madcap mayhem, increased because I don't speak the language.

Its been since saturday. I went an entire work week without a beer. It was my goal for the week. Now, am I gonnna go out tomorrow and get loaded? No. This is me finding things other than beer and bars to do. It hasn't been the most interesting of weeks, but last night I heard a bunch of voices. One of them said "Northwestern". There were a bunch of others, but I wanted to give them all a chance to speak and I fell asleep before I could write what they said down. Hopefully they'll come back tonight.
