Hey, anyone remember the Xenosaga review I posted 4.5 years ago? Well, I finally finished it. At this rate I'll be done with 3 in 2016.

For anyone else that's interested I'm planning on going to the Renaissance Festival in Sterling on Saturday. I will most likely get there fairly early, like 10ish. (That's early for me.)

Huzzah.

I haven't been weighing myself, but I did go a notch tighter on my belt today. I'll take that as a good sign.

I'm never buying another car ever again. Bus pass for life, yo.

I got in a discussion about this elsewhere, and since it was deemed off topic there I'm going to bring it up here. Personally, I feel that players are the priority and that fictional characters shouldn't be valued more that real people.

What do all of you think?

There's just so many good games, and I don't feel like I'm playing them enough. I have two scheduled games a week, but they don't always work out. I kinda miss some of the old days, when there were games and gamers aplenty.

Some of you fuckers need to move to Ithaca. You know who you are. :)

After 5 years, my car is at death's door. So, I bought a new one yesterday. I don't actually have it yet, but if the financing all goes through I should have it tomorrow night. Amusingly enough it actually has more miles on it than my current one does, but it's in much better shape. It's a 1998 Honda Accord EX with all the fixings. It's funny, because it has a bunch of stuff that I wouldn't have gotten if I was buying a new car and picking the options. Still the price was right on this one, so I ended up with leather seats and power everything, including the moon roof. Hooray for a car that was totally awesome 8 years ago. :)

I'll see about posting pics later this week.

It has occurred to me recently that there are a few types of music that I enjoy listening to, but very rarely hear because I don't actually own any of it. Therefore, I'm looking for suggestions of albums to pick up to cover a few genres. So if any of you out there in LJ-land are a fan of one of these genres and know a good album to fill a hole in a music collection, speak up.

In no particular order:

Swing
Punk
Blues
Ska

It occurs to me that I probably shouldn't be watching Buffy and Angel while drinking. I think it's messing me up. Oh well.

It seems that earlier reports of my car not being a dying piece of shit were grossly exaggerated.

So, does anyone out there know where I can get good info on hybrids? It looks like I'm in the market for a new car and I'm interested in hybrids, even if it's just the principle of the thing.
