got a PS3

Published: 4 March 2010
Just a quick note to say Best Buy happened to get some 120GB PS3’s in today and I just happened to call at the right time, squeal “Omigod, can you hold one?!”, and buy one. :) I couldn’t find Eternal Sonata at either Best Buy or Gamestop, so I ended up with Bayonetta [...]

PS3’s hard to find

Published: 27 February 2010
I just wanted to buy a 120GB Playstation 3 but apparently everyone around here is sold out of them. I figured the console has been out for a few years and the 120GB version came out in I think September, so I didn’t even consider that they would be hard to come by. [...]

Korean at 6 AM

Published: 30 January 2010
What on earth am I doing awake? That’s what I get for going to bed around 11: wake up once to get a drink of water, and then I can’t get back to sleep. So I’m in the kitchen eating some leftover Korean and surfing the Internet. Classes are going well. [...]

I don’t know if I blogged about it, but I certainly complained on Twitter about my Macbook hard drive eating itself at the beginning of the semester. Well, just this morning my Windows hard drive in my PC started acting up. When I booted the computer, I got a “DISK READ ERROR INSERT [...]

Published: 28 July 2009
So while reading about Animal Crossing: City Folk earlier, I tried to find a way to restore some of my grass, which has been wearing away to brown dirt everywhere. Turns out there’s quite a stink over the “feature” Animal Tracks that Nintendo built into the game. The idea was that grass [...]

Animal Crossing and Photoshop

Published: 26 July 2009
I just finished a long bout of Animal Crossing: City Folk with Jon’s sister-in-law, who recently got the game. I was quite tickled to see that her town’s native fruit is oranges, whereas mine is cherries, so we were able to trade and now I have another fruit that’ll get me 500 Bells [...]

new Animal Crossing theme

Published: 19 July 2009
I posted a new theme today: Animal Crossing. You can also still use the old theme if you prefer. I’m working on integrating my activity on other sites, like Twitter and Stack Overflow, into the blog, and it’s been fun styling individual post types. The layout is based on Nintendo’s awesome Animal Crossing: [...]

games and finals

Published: 15 December 2008
I’ve been playing American McGee’s Alice recently and seeing all the environments and their beautifully detailed textures again, especially with my new video card, has made me want them as wallpaper and flooring in The Sims 2. I remember for the original Sims game, I found a huge collection of Alice walls and floors [...]

overrated vampires

Published: 1 September 2008
*snort* This just made me laugh aloud: Why do mortal women always have to fall in love with sexy, brooding vampires? Why can’t they fall for a nice yeti who will make a good husband and a solid provider? — He’s So Tormented! Quick, Fetch My Fainting Chaise So That I May Gracefully Lose Consciousness My dad [...]
