After seeing this on TV… she’d so make you buy a PSP. (Oh yes she would! And then some!!!)
Oh, and her friend is Mai Tazawa.

As my old Canadian friend would say… they’re magically delicious.

So….it’s 4:30AM, I slept 13-15 hours today, and now I can’t sleep.

I’ve been depressed as shit for the past few weeks because I ended it with the ex. It sucks to go to school 200 miles away and completely realize that a relationship is never going to work out while i’m in school. It took this shitty situation for me to realize this.

So I just checked movie times, and Clerks 2 isn’t in theatres anymore. Argh. But hey, I just broke 10,000 songs on iTunes. That’s sort of impressive. 90,000 more to go. :) Now if only I could get my iBook back from the shop…

103:29 hours until I can move into my apartment and get back to school. I really need to get back to the U of Maryland get to some football games, drink lots of intoxicating substances, and hopefully meet someone of the opposite sex to get my mind off the ex.

I’ll be at the Mets game in a luxury suite Thursday despite being a Yankees fan. And I have no clue where the hell I’m going with all this.

So I can’t sleep, and am contemplating what game I should whip out and start playing: GW: Factions or ES: Oblivion. All summer i’ve either been working, with the ex, or since finishing work and ending it with her, been going out all the time. Now I’m home, and want to play games, but it’s been so long since I’ve done that, that I really can’t get into playing anything. I haven’t played my 360 since I packed up from school in the middle of May. It’s really a stagnant time for games, IMO, and I can’t think of anything that I want to play. Hell, I have Suikoden V sitting here; the 5th game of my favorite series ever, and I can’t even convince myself to pop that in. What’s wrong with me.. grrr

It’s been a great summer… July was one of the best months of my life, and August was a great/extremely terrible month. I haven’t decided yet. All I know is that I now need College Park back in my life. Sorry for being all over the place, but heh…oh well. I just wanted to type all this stuff for the sake of typing it.

Put down the controllers and if you haven’t, go see this movie. If you have, go see it again, like my friend who saw it 5 times (is he nuts? no!) Just got back from my first viewing of the phenomenal Snakes on a Plane. Set aside all the stuff you’ve heard, this movie is actually really good. It keeps you on the edge of your seat the whole time and makes you laugh as well + it has snake vision, which by itself is worth paying for. So what about the videogame? I say do it. Who doesn’t want to play as Jackson fighting evil snakes? Or let me be the snake so I too can enjoy the awesomeness of snake vision. Sold. And then, I can watch the movie while I play the game. I wonder if they’ll make SoaP sheets? That would be awesome. Definitely better than what I have now (plaid stuff that is very boring). Ok, commence gaming discussion.

I bet some of you will never forget the day Nintendo announced a partnership with McDonalds to further their promotional efforts for the Nintendo DS. With the Wii only a few months away, Nintendo has reached into yet another exciting endeavor involving the MySpace, the uber-social online community that needs no introduction.

Creatively entitled “HowWiiPlay” (click here to visit), the site’s ultimate purpose is to get diehard Nintendo fans and casual types alike pumped about Nintendo’s newest console. At first glance, “Wiispace” (my official nickname) doesn’t seem like much. I expected tons of Wii-branded graphics and familiar Nintendo songs to be playing in the background. Y’know – things that make you go “WOW! I’ve gotta tell my friends about THIS!” I didn’t get that type of feeling. My guess is that “Wiispace” is currently in “soft launch” mode and things will eventually pick up very soon.

WHAT?!?!… no cheesy Wii cliches?

All critiques aside, it’s got a clean look and the member list is already 1500+ members strong. In addition, Myspace members can instantly participate in community forum discussions and download free music from rock/pop groups including Hawthrone Heights, Emery and Plain White T’s. One particular highlight that’s bound to be the newest online buzz for weeks to come is the current Myspace/Nintendo promotion inviting gamers to show off their best video segment showing off how [they] play. Naturally, you can expect the videos will be judged on creativity, humor and …talent. Above all… it’s about having fun and you’ll win a DS Lite if your submission is selected.

Of all the console manufacturers, I’ve got to hand it to Nintendo for being the first to embrace the MySpace community head on. Perhaps this will inspire Microsoft and Sony to follow in their footsteps. One thing is certain, everyone is going to be talking about the Wii more than ever.
