Thank God It's Friday

Today wasn't as boring as I thought it'd be, even though I wouldn't have guessed that upon waking up at 3pm and realizing that I had to pick up my check before 5:30. For starters, instead of having to spend at least 2 hours on the bus - if not more - I was able to get a quick ride. After wondering whether the 2-day, 16-hour orientation for a call center job that I only worked for a week was paid, the check showed that it was.

To add to the non-boredom, I finally got to play The King of Fighters XI, though too much time with NeoGeoBattleColiseum meant that my reflexes slowed down a bit. In any case, there should be plenty of time to practice later on. Now only if I could find Guilty Gear XX Slash...or Guilty Gear XX Accent Core if it's going to get released in the U.S. soon enough.

Finally, a trip to Long John Silver's for a manager's special deal filled me up for only $3.22, whereas most fast food combos going for $4 or $5 don't feel like a good enough meal once it's all eaten. Unfortunately, the parade of non-boredom was rained on - literally. It was bad enough without an umbrella, but without a jacket, the rain meant the end of the fun, in addition to reminding me that I would've expected this were I back in Southern California instead of still being in Las Vegas.

Just Another Update

Within the past two weeks, I haven't been able to post as much as I wanted to. It's a shame, since on the same day as I got my 256MB memory upgrade in the mail, my neighbor's internet connection was rewired by technicians in a way such as that I've been unable to use his modem to connect to the internet by wireless router.

Strangely enough also is the fact that right after I posted about the whole Sixteen Volts thing, I got quite a bit of hits from a blog called Eunomia, and precisely from a post titled "Don't Be Cruel". I'd say it's a milestone considering that it's the first link to this blog from another blog (that I've seen). Of course, there's also been a few hits coming from Technorati and Google's BlogSearch. On a final note, Half Sigma has discovered an archive of posts from Sixteen Volts.

Trying out the 'new' features on Blogger has been considered, but right now, until I get internet back in my own home, things will remain as they currently are. Further developments on that front will be explained in future posts.
