The Missing Link!

Well, I guess it was going just a little too good for it to have lasted the entire run. Yes, I missed writing yesterday, which officially brings to an end my attempt at writing everyday of this month. In a way though, it is a good thing for me because I don't think my brain could keep up with that sort of a pace.

And personally, I am just dragging my feet and just dying to get through this week. I don't really know why, I mean things haven't been bad or anything. It's just this feeling I've had lately, like I'm just "going through the motions" so to speak.

I picked up Command & Conquer Red Alert 3 today for dirt cheap ($29). Scratch that, I picked up Blue Dragon (again) for dirt cheap ($14). I am determined to finish off Blue Dragon, as well as C&C too.

I must be a sucker for hype, because everything I see a promo video for Halo Wars, I get that jittery feeling like I HAVE to play the damn game. As a matter of fact, I am still playing the demo for it.

Street Fighter 4 is looking fairly interesting as well.

And what is this I hear? Nintendo's DSi will be region coded? Wow, I really didn't even realize the DS was region free...

All of this uncovered mysteries solved because I bought my girlfriend this Japanese taiko game that she has been wanting for months now (I'd love to share the name with the world, but I cannot read Japanese for the life of me! And I've worked in a Japanese grocery store for 2 years!).

Ok that last statement isn't entirely true, about me not being able to read Japanese. Ok, I can't read it, but I at least know what I'm stocking at work (kuromame, natto, kurome, yuzu, sato, azuki, edamame, okonomiyaki, etc). But beyond that? I mean actually reading the characters and stuff... yeah, nope!

Just watched a movie by the name of Butterfly Lovers, a Chinese take on the classic Romeo & Juliet storyline. It isn't that tied to it, but the ultimate outcome is the same. And even while having saw Romeo & Juliet in several different forms, this movie is still a sad one folks. Worth seeing it if you come across it!

Speaking of Asian movies, I've been sort of checking out the Death Note movies. Looked interesting to me. Same goes for Azumi 2, though I know that has been out for quite a while already.

One more note of interest on my part, I've also wanting to see that new movie "Push." Hell, since I've gone this far with stuff I'd like to watch, I've been also wanting to see Afro Samurai. It looks/sounds interesting as well.

It's a wonder how I don't spend my entire lifetime just sitting around, watching movies all day and night.
