Good Morning, 2010! The Princess' Diary Intarwebs Edition

Congrats! Now all you need to worry about is grad school!

Ahhh, frivolous spending, I missed you.

So one of the game stores, the GameCrazy, I frequent has been slated to close its doors.  Since I'd rather they get my money than GameStop, I decided to go ahead and pick up a PS3.  I didn't really care to spend the money at the moment, was think I'd put it off 'til christmas or so, but y'know.  Good chance they won't be there then, so.

Also means I have full system capability now.  I feel like a portal to the netherworld should be opening up in my TV or something.  Or maybe a little victory tune plays and I get a pointless ribbon of achievement.

I feel that way, too. When I got my PS3, I was like 'crap, I can play everything now, no more excuses.'

Dammit, I don't have that kinda time!

Also, sad to hear that another game store is losing to GameStop... *sigh*.

Expected, but still sad.

[Cmdr_King]

Well, it's not necessarily that they're losing to the Gamestop, or rather, I don't think that's their problem.  Basically, GameCrazy's corporate heads don't give their store managers any autonomy, so basically the store was juuuuust off the beaten track (Basically, the two main streets through town cross about two hundred feet from them, but they're on the wrong side of the intersection where no one can see them), meaning they were easy to miss and nobody at the store could really advertise enough to correct it.  For the most part, GameStop is better about getting new stuff in, but I liked the people here more so I tended to get them all the used and system purchases I made (which in the past year was quite a bit).  So really it's more losing some cool people than anything else.  Pity.

[VySaika]

Yeah, same thing happened here awhile back. And it was pretty much the same situation too. The GameCrazy guys were pretty good freinds of mine, so I shopped there instead of GameStop despite the latter having a better selection. Now that it's gone, I try to hang at the GameStop sometimes, but it always so much more busy that even the employees I get on well with don't really have much time to chat(and obviously chatting isn't a priority. They are on the clock and all, and I respect that). Just kinda hard to make the same connections there.

One of my exes is getting married.  Strange thing to find out.  Not that I wish I was there, because I got bored of having sex with her, but it just sort of made me think about placed I'd be if I did things differently, you know?

[Grefter]

If only she had known to take her top off and shoot an experimental assault rifle like your future wife (who will be shooting at you for accusing her of being a cyborg clone of your third wife from the distant future on the day before the heat death of the universe).

Video card acquired and installed.  Sound card still to go, turns out one of the cables that connects the video card to the console on the front is broken, but still, small victory.  I will see if the PC can last the night and maybe declare the return of my PC.

I feel moderately disrespected.

Man, if I had a dollar for every time that happened to me...

My future wife is Cyborg Saffron Reynolds?

[Jo'ou Ranbu]

No, your future wife is just Summer Glau. Don't think she's been in Terminator, but she's probably a cyborg woman from 2019.

Congrats! Now all you need to worry about is grad school!

I had a meeting with a professor for my research paper I did on David Alfaro Siqueiros, and she really brightened my future. Especially when she said "I'll gladly write you a letter of rec" w/o me bringing it up. (: I'm going to rework it this summer and use it as my sample. Study for GREs. Apply, apply, apply, cross my fingers, say a couple of prayers and hope for the coming future to gain momentum. I'm excited, even though I haven't moved out yet. I have one other professor annnnd I'm debating between two for my last letter of rec.

[Anthony Edward Stark]

One- Summer Glau doesn't do it for me. She's gonna look like she's 14 until she's like 50.

Two- Yes, she has.

Dear god, she doesn't even bother with a disguise by now, does she.

[Anthony Edward Stark]

Don't worry.  If ratings were any indication, nobody watched the one she was on.  It is the perfect obfuscation.

[AndrewRogue]

And thus Andrew begins his first shift of night audit. Will he stay awake? Only time will tell.

Fuck I am an idiot to think I could play games, have fun or have anything work ever.  I need to remember that I am not allowed to even think about enjoying myself.

[superaielman]

Good to see you know your place, minion.

[OblivionKnight]

God, drunk people are hilariously entertaining

[Dhyerwolf]

Uh, gj at choosing 1 of the 4 actors that have been main terminators in their various incarnations? Also, I watched at least part of TSCC. That was one badass finale.

[Jo'ou Ranbu]

I haven't watched even the first movie, I just wanted to gratuitously mention Summer Glau and the fact she's a cyborg.

[Grefter]

What the fuck?  Go get that movie.  Go get the sequel.  Those are two movies that anyone with any vague liking of cinema should watch.

[Anthony Edward Stark]

What the fuck is wrong with you?

[Yoshiken]

Ehh, I've never seen a Terminator film either. Never seen the appeal, really.

Edit: Judging from Grefter's response, I'm assuming this is the problem. If it's something to do with Summer Glau, I'd assume Firefly hype is more than enough reason.
