It's All A Buch Of Hype
Not that I care much about the state of politics as it is now, but if there's anything that might 'cure' me of my cynicism, some guy that goes by the name of Ron Paul could do it - besides, one of my coworkers claims to be one of his grassroots supporters. As far as Hillary, Romney, and the others go, I'm more than a little bored with the way their campaigns are going. By now, I'm no longer surprised that few political figures go public on the need to curb illegal immigration, and I'm not surprised that certain Republican sex-baiting loudmouths can't even live by their own example. I'd have more respect for them if they did something more constructive, like raise hell over Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows (the way they did over Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire)...without reading too much into that title.If I was the type of person who went to the movies these days, I'd feel a bit bummed about not going to see Transformers or The Simpsons Movie. Actually, now that I think about it, I feel a little icky not remembering the original 80's Transformers in addition to ignoring the newer Transformers Armada series. Besides, while the reviews I've seen for Transformers are mixed, those for The Simpsons Movie lean more toward the positive. Maybe missing out on Transformers wasn't so bad after all...
In yet another change from this time last year, I did not go to San Diego Comic Con due to personal problems...personal problems that wouldn't allow for a two-way road trip totaling 11 hours, starting and ending in Las Vegas. Thus there will be no report of my activities there this year...because there were none to speak of.
There's some cheer somewhere in this post though, and that's due to me finding out that Growlanser: Heritage of War [YouTube video] will actually be getting released in the US. Even though I doubt I'll find any of Satoshi Urushihara's female character designs as sexy as Growlanser 3's Annette Burns [worksafe | not worksafe] (you may have to copy the links and paste the address in a new tab/window to view) this time around, the gameplay looks different enough from that in Growlanser Generations [YouTube video] to make it worth buying. The fact that it's only going to have one Limited Edition print run also doesn't leave much room for waiting until later. That said, I think I could've slipped a Peanuts reference in this paragraph somewhere - lemme know if you find out where. :)
