I moved the DS and its assorted games from my office to the nightstand.

Why save the backlog of handheld games for trips? I'm going nowhere, and the time I most need the escape of small screen games is when I can't sleep at 3am.

I set up Privoxy to block self-destructive web surfing.

Why taunt yourself with the open web and its known pitfalls? Better to block off sites known to cause damage.

My Ricoh GR Digital 2 is in a perpetual half-finished state. Who knew my existential crises could be transmitted to photo equipment?

(...) I have as much love [video game] I want to love. But it is impossible, to fill the vacuum have to do on your own.

I like to think it's more poetic in the Japanese.

There's a certain, unmistakable glee I have when I go to them.

"Congratulations!"

FAIL

This is not a bailout. This is some seriously fucked up fascist bullshit and I want out of this economy and country right now.

I bought Rock Band 2 and that was a mistake.

Do I really need to be reminded that I can't play actual music and don't even have friends to play in a fake band? And why is the Lit song censored yet the Modest Mouse song gets to play in entirety? I want it censored instead.

Last night I realized I let the domain expire. I don't think anybody noticed.

That's the end of it.

It's like the ending of Braid, or bank failure.

You can see it coming, but that doesn't lessen the impact.
