It’s been too long

Wow – it’s been what feels like forever since I’ve updated my blog. For anyone who reads this, my apologies. I’ve been busy at work and home. Now that I’m finding more time for this, I should be able to update daily or bi-daily again. *smile*

So what’s happened lately…I bought a Zune. I must say, for those of you in the market for an mp3 player, a Zune is the way to go. I’ve got all 4 seasons of Aqua Teen Hunger Force on there, Matrix 3, and a shit load of music. AND I’ve still got 22.4 GB left I think…It’s SO awesome. The best $250 I’ve spent in a while. Plus, it’s the Halo 3 Limited Edition one.

I also bout Sim City DS a short while back. It’s a lot of fun, but I’m not the best at Sim City, and it’s starting to show. Haha – but despite the terrible reviews, it’s really a great game. I also bought Elebits for the Wii. That’s a great game, too. Very Katamari Damaci-esque. I’m very happy with the money I spent on it - $35 used.

I sold my trombone last week, also. The money was nice, but more importantly, the horn is getting used by someone who has time for it. I had no time to devote to my instrument, but that’s OK.

I haven’t played much IIDX at all lately. It sucks, but my controller should be shipping today or tomorrow according to Steve from Desktop Arcade, and that’s going to totally boost my desire to play. I might be heading to Omaha’s FFC tournament. I need to get significantly better at IIDX, though. Otherwise, it’s a wasted trip for me.

I have been IIDX’ing it up on my computer on that flash simulator that’s out there. It’s actually a great remake of the game. It keeps me playing, and it’s a great estimate of my ability. I can’t pass all the 6’s, just like I can’t on the system. Hooray for that!

I’m going to probably purchase another fat PS2 so I can play IIDX easier. I don’t really know what to do about it all. We have a slim PS2 that’s kinda shot. We’re borrowing my brother’s friend’s fat PS2 for now, so…yeah. This is hard to figure out. I don’t want to blow a ton of money on this endeavor, but we’ll have to see. I might see if my brother wants to sell his Gamecube since we have the Wii. That will give us like, $50 towards the new PS2. We have 2 Xbox’s in my house, so we COULD sell one of those and have even more money towards the PS2 adventure, but I don’t know.

I’ll update as more develops. I have some more comments on movies in a little bit.
