This Isn't Going The Way I Expected...

Once again, I'm posting at the end of the month and it's the only post of the month. Once again, I've promised some kind of layout change that I didn't deliver on. It's not that I like blogging this way, but between work and play (and now school), I just can't seem to keep a focus on making newer, better postings. Sad, I know...

Before going back to school, I was mildly excited about taking new courses toward my major, and had thought I'd be able to keep up in class. Apparently, that's not the case here. I knew work would get in the way a little, but adding to that, being out of school for a year has made me forget a few things here and there. Falling asleep while trying to read out of the textbook doesn't help much either...

In gaming, Halo 3 has broken some records, not that I'm surprised in the least, oh no...(earlier this year, I saw a blue sportscar in Las Vegas with the license plate "HALO 3"). I wanted to buy Jeanne D' Arc since I've been waiting for it once word got out that Level 5 was behind it, but decided not to for now since I don't play my PSP much (and wasn't sure whether to get the newer 2000 model). One of the bigger pieces of news for me out of this year's Tokyo Game Show was news on the three new Kingdom Hearts games - one I'll most likely never play (for mobile phones), another with a weird name (for DS), and yet another with blatantly recycled character designs (for PSP). I'm still playing World of Warcraft, now with a Draenei Hunter in addition to the Blood Elf Mage created several months back. As for Growlanser: Heritage of War, I never did get that, and the lack of easy-to-find review scores doesn't give me enough of an idea of whether it's worth buying or not.

In case you've ever wondered why "posted in windows" is a post label, it's because I'm planning on installing Linux to the same hard drive as Windows Vista. Success with Ubuntu almost came earlier this week, except that I didn't want the master boot record overwritten, so I tried to have it installed elsewhere, only to fail. Eventually the job will be done right, if the boot record has to be written on a floppy disk or a distribution other than Ubuntu has to be used.
