Ah yes, and all the other things that make life worth living.

Several minor things

Lotsa little stuff to report.

First and foremost: I really should just take my PS2 and throw it out the window. I have four games that I am completely obsessed with, and not enough time to split amongst them. At the moment, Steel Lancer has me obsessed. For some reason, I just can't stop playing it. After that, Dark Cloud 2 is tugging at me, with its 400 different little things to do. Wild Arms 3 has been progressing nicely, and it was first in line, so I owe it some time. I really like Burnout 4, but that has been bumped to the 'party game' slot, to be played when friends come to visit. The good thing is that I won't even be looking at, much less buying, any more games until next spring.

I got my camera back, yaaaaaay! I messed around with it last night, and it works just fine now. My only complaint is that they didn't return the 16Meg memory card. . . I put some sample crappy photos on it to help them diagnose the problem, and sent it along with the camera. It didn't come back with the camera. Meh, it was free anyway, no big deal. But that means that I can start taking and posting pictures again, yaaaay!

Only 17 days until Anime USA. It is going to rock super-hard. I'm running my Mah Jongg panel, I'll get to see the Lisa G crew, have another weekend with Lisa M and Chris/Joe all in the same room. . . it'll be OSSUM. AUSA really is the best convention there is -- they have the best viewing schedule, it's in a great hotel, they are always well-organized, and their staff (at least a certain group of hard-core staffers) truly give a damn about making the whole affair run smoothly. This will be my 5th time at AUSA, and they just keep getting better.

Hey, y'all need to go check out Joe's blog. He's at www.neverknight.blogspot.com , I forget what the name is. Something about his head. Maybe if people read his blog, he'll stop whining so much. "waa waa, I guess you can read this if you feel like it, don't know why you would since I suck so bad, I'll just be over here killing myself boo hoo." Sheesh. How can anyone with his own apartment and his own sofa be that whiny?

Just got two more Mah Jongg sets from Ebay. I think now I have 15 total, which should be more than enough to run a workshop. If any of you are looking for an inexpensive yet still high-quality Mah Jongg set, you really should go to www.wherethewindsblow.com and check them out. The lady who runs that site also has an Ebay store, just look for the name "fscher" under sellers. Really great stuff and really great prices.

Done for now. I'll have tons of pictures and stuff to tell about AUSA in three weeks. Until then, be happy and healthy and dammit, don't eat that! You don't know where it's been!
