I Really Wonder If You Know How They Live In Tokyo

It's been a weird month; the semester has technically ended; with the one exam left on the 14th; and as there are no classes.. whats' a boy to do? I've recently got the entire A Better Tomorrow Trilogy and Nintendogs (although have yet to finalize my dog's name; it's like a hard epic battle between Kelly and Rachel) and although it should mean enough entertainment for a long time; we've finished the trilogy in almost one night and well, I can't really start on the game until I've figured out a name. So; as demonstrated in last night's ordeal; what we ended up doing was watching the Tokyo Drift DVD extras; followed by the movie, and then the movie again, then looping it on the laptop while going to sleep. Waking up to sounds of tyres squealing is surreal; but then again, it really isn't the first time I've done that. Then if you look closely at the bottom picture, yes that's two 360s in the house at the moment (none of them mine); which equates to enough processing power to topple even the mightiest of PS3s; if only it worked that way. Anyways, going to sleep. Need to catch up on that. Ciao.

Welcome Back, General.

The past few weeks have been pretty much this scene. Ever since the sudden Command & Conquer: Generals craze hit off that faithful day, every other day has turned into a raging battlefield filled with er...battles and a sudden overuse of the words Colonel and Burton. That has temporarily stopped at the moment; mainly because most of us have gotten a bit sick of it, and in partial because I had tons of assignments due last weekend; and more to come.
So what's been up? Well, all I can say is that it's mostly been something to do with food, or something to do with alcohol; namely the sudden beer drinking fiesta that started a few weeks back (could it be Generals related?) and yeah, it's been good and bad at the same time. I do miss the simplicity of home life terribly, not to say that I'm not starting to really like drinking at 5pm on a Tuesday evening. At 15 degrees. Outside. Without a jacket. It's great. The weekend's really almost stopped existing. Everyday can be weekend material; although there might be a price to pay the next day. Which is fine if you don't have weird assignments due the following day. I'm getting used to writing 1,500 words with referencing desperately in about 5 hours but have yet to get used to actually doing it a week before so that I wouldn't have to. And the DS lite if finally into it's second battery charge at the moment as I type this..not really big news but well...yeah..Oh! and I finally got around to getting that new YUI album..she's so brilliantly cute and her music has just evolved into some really brilliant stuff but sadly the shop didn't have any extra posters this time around..I was hoping to get one of the promo ones like when I got the Mika Nakashima album a month or two back. Oh well; such is life (pardon the pun). Can't really think of anything else to say at the moment; so I guess that's it for now...
