I don't own a PS3... and rarely ever want to. I don't like most games that Sony has signed on, I don't like most mainstream Japanese games. But occasionally the alternative gaming scene pushes our imaginations with the abilities of that hardware, and then my jaw drops and I suddenly really, really want one.
LittleBigPlanet was one of those moments, but this game called Flower... I really really want it.

Finally the reading week has come and I have a week off. Not that I don't have enough work to do over the break anyway... have to make a list of things I need to do in the next two days before going home. Just because this blog somehow revolves around my life rather than my views lately (since I'm way too busy to write, apparently)... Here's a peek... I felt like making a list. Sometime I'll probably get back to writing diatribes on stuff. Not now, though.

I miss Rabin. Yigal Amir, you're an asshole. I hope you rot forever in that hole you're in.
What an oddly beautiful dream. I dreamt of a wonderful pool where some of my most precious photos were discarded... and of a hunt for a long lost shovel from an image, someone's shovel from a war that ended up being found half in concrete at a German museum... sneaking it out and the subsequent mess. And on it someone had written Matthew 24:6... "And ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars: see that ye be not troubled: for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet."
And for some reason... I woke with the Kreutzer stuck in my head. Perhaps it was the soundtrack in my mind to the dream.
Just so there's something on the main page...
Super tired right now. The nightmare of having to chase grades through the Carleton administration is finally over, and I no longer have two Fs from disappearing papers in my grades from last term.
Relieved, tired, and waiting for my food to finish cooking.
That is all.
