Attention Visitors...

This blog has just been switched from the old Blogger application to the new version.

There should be quite a bit of playing around with the new template features at the very least. If I'm really feeling bored, some serious changes may take place.

Just in time for Thanksgiving, right?

One Month Later

Considering that it's been a whole month since my last post here, I suppose that any hope toward regular daily updates would be wasted, at least for now. It's not that I haven't had anything to post about, just that I've been a little too lazy to log in here and type it up.

Somewhere in this past month, Blogger seems to have finally worked out the kinks toward the upgrading feature, so more than likely, this will be my last post using the older version. This is also the first posting I've made while running Linux on my system - Ubuntu Linux to be specific. Not bad considering I've installed Ubuntu 5.10 some 8 times, Slackware 10.2 3 times, and Freespire 1.0 twice in the past month. Lots of system restarts and hacking ensued during all of those installations.

I've also been downloading episodes of Kanon, Death Note, and Code Geass, among other things. As far as The King of Fighters XI goes, I still haven't completed the game yet, not that it should be a surprise for anyone who knows about SNK Boss Syndrome - which should not be confused with Retired Husband Syndrome, although the bit about high life spans applies to both, lol.

Days away from the releases of the Playstation 3 and Wii, I haven't actually seen a working PS3 in any of the stores I've visited, and the Wiis I've seen don't appear to have any games playing or controllers present - just some ad or screensaver running. Even if I had the money to buy either, it would be weird to want to if I can't even see how it works before it hits stores. If I remember correctly, several weeks before XBox 360 was released last year, display units were in 3 out of 4 electronics retailers. The same could be said for both DS and PSP. Yet, this year, the story is different, or I could just be visiting the wrong stores, as if Toys R' Us, Best Buy, Wal-Mart, and GameStop weren't enough.

Ever since the clocks were set back an hour, I've been haunted by a creeping sense of boredom, tiredness, and lack of time. It's most likely related to Seasonal Affective Disorder and the lack of sunlight in evening hours. Not having the money to buy Final Fantasy XII doesn't help matters in the least...
