It’s only a matter of time.

I’m the worst blogger alive. I keep meaning to update, then never ever do. It’s awful. Like, I found this fucking sweet candy dispenser that looks exactly like a wiimote, and I meant to post about it with all these photos and shit but never did. I also was going to post after I got this job offer, but never did. There are dozens of reasons I’ve wanted to write on here, but just haven’t done it. So, here it goes, one long post explaining my life since April 22nd that isn’t a transcript of a conversation or only about video games.
So, let’s start with life in general I suppose. Things have been pretty good actually. I’ve been making lots of new friends and such and generally having a good time with people. Dee is leaving for Las Vegas at the end of July though, so that fucking sucks. My best friend Walsh’s girlfriend Jeanie has gone to Costa Rica for a study abroad program, but she should be back next month, just in time for The Dark Knight to come out. I started talking to an ex of mine again, probably a bad idea, and even mustered up the balls to ask a girl I know on a date. It’s not for three weeks though due to her job, so that is lame.

I sent in a portfolio to the local newspaper about 2 months ago. Earlier this month I got a call from them telling me they liked it, and that a new position was opening up at the end of the month and that they wanted me to come apply for it! That’s all taken care of and hopefully by this time next month I’ll be a graphic artist for the Daily Chronicle. Also, I need to start looking for a new apartment really badly because the lease at this one is up in August. That is not good times. I’d just renew it except this place is kinda shitty, and all my roommate hates it so, yeah.

Not much to report on the gaming front. I still haven’t beaten GTA IV, just can’t seem to give a shit enough to play it. Started playing Civilization IV though, that game is the shit. Only problem is the games get so long and drawn out that by the end Dee and I are so burnt out that it just kills all motivation to move. Played Rainbow Six Vegas 2. Meh. I’ve been playing DoA4 and jesus, so broken and cheap. Still kinda fun though, I guess. I got Army of Two back from my friend Brian, and Dee and I played through the new maps. They’re awesome, seriously polished. I wish the whole game had looked so slick. Bought the new game mode too, but we couldn’t get anyone to play it last night. D: Been playing with the Spore Creature Creator. Pretty cool little toy!

I joined the beta for this social network called Brightkite. It’s kinda like twitter but more location based. You can still posts messages, photos, and communicate, but the main bulk of it is checking in with locations. It’s actually pretty sweet. If you want an invite, hit me up. I think I have 5 left?

Oh, and the candy dispenser. Found it at Wal-Greens while shopping for a card for my Mom for her birthday. It looks just like a Wiimote and shoots candy like a fucking gun. I’ll just let the photos explain.

There’s an accompying YouTube video of the opening and operation too, if you really care, but I have to warn you, it’s pretty boring.
