Horoscope


Amen!

Please don't wear a t-shirt that says what I saw on the canary yellow t-shirt of the Japanese tourist at JFK airport: "Sorry, I'm a loser." I also beg you not to read Ethan Trex's book How to Seem Like a Better Person Without Actually Improving Yourself. It's very important, in my astrological opinion, that you not demean or underestimate yourself in the coming days. In fact, I'll go so far as to say that you have a sacred duty to exalt your beauty and exult in your talents. Now go read Walt Whitman's Song of Myself, and periodically murmur the first line all week long: "I celebrate myself, and sing myself."

And the winner is...


Playstation 3

No, I didn't get the Xbox 360. One reason was the back end cost and features. The $299 Xbox may have been cheaper up front, but in order to make it wireless, I would have to spend an extra $100 bucks. The PS3 come with built in wireless capabilities. Another feature, the Blu-Ray player will come in handy when I purchase an HDTV (my next obsession).

In less than a week I've bought four games:

Motor Storm (first one)
The Darkness
Fracture
Naked Angels: Squadrons of WWII

I rented two:

Star Wars: Force Unleased (I will buy soon)
Uncharted: Drake's Fortune (I will buy soon too)

I played and love:
Mortal Kombat vs. DC Comics (Fun, Fun, Fun)

Believe it or not I haven't bought Little Big Planet. I kind of want to finish off these games in a month or two and imerse myself in LBP. Like I said before it seems like a lot of fun, especially with online multi play (for free).

So, I've armed myself with a Gamestop card for used games and even joined the PS3 online community. I'm having a ball. The problem is I have to go to work everyday! ;-)
