I'm hard-pressed to think of an NES game I actually finished. This was, in large part, due to the fact that I didn't own many NES games. After a few compulsory purchases because the box art looked cool, my parents realized that it made a lot more sense to just have me rent games to try, repeating ad nauseum if I found a good one.

Saturday, 1/20/07 - 1:30 PMApparently I drank enough last night to remember why I don't drink that much anymore. I blame Beerfest. Watching that movie and playing the "Every time someone drinks, drink" game can lead to efficient intoxication, as long as you actually have enough beer. Which I did. Note the past tense. I slept till 1:30 which doesn't ( Read more... )

Lately it seems my body is actively trying to get sick. This has been ongoing since last Friday, when I spent the day with that crap feeling in the back of my throat and I basically pulled a Neo and said "No," and went on with my weekend as normal. At some point in the last year, most likely due to the fact that my weekends are much more important ( Read more... )
