You know who I'm glad I'm not?One of the people on the team who had to come up with things to put in Katamari Damacy and We

Katamari. They must have locked them in a room with nothing but coffee and cigarettes for a solid month to come up with this kind of stuff.

"So, uh.... what about a soy sauce bottle?"

"goddamit, Bob! For the third fucking time, we've already put down goddamned 'soy sauce bottle' two weeks ago when we were going through 'things in a kitchen!'"

I think my priorities have changed a bitSo I got my income tax refund the other day.

~$2000

Did I go out and buy a shiny new Xbox360? Nope, I had a water softening system installed in my house. If the 16 year old me could meet me now, I think that he'd try to kick my ass.

But he'd be fat and get out of breath so I'd have to kick his ass. If I gave him scars, do you think they would magically show up on me?

MySpace (now 10% more burrito-ey)So, I finally gave in and made a myspace account. I've already got the requesite "picture of yourself in the mirror" up there, so it'll only be a matter of time before I start putting makeup on and cutting myself.

I'm keeping my friends limited to folks I know in real life, so unless I've met you don't even ask.

IMPORTANT CELL PHONE UPDATEWell, it finally bit the dust and there's a new one coming in the mail for only a $50 deductable. I don't know why the last guy told me that I had to buy a new phone and get reimbursed later, what an ass. I would have done this a year ago if I had known.

Osu! Tatakae! OuendanBelieve the hype, kids. This is the game you should be playing right now if you have the means. I've never bought an import before, but I'm sure glad I did now. I reccomend play-asia.com, as my order made it over here in under a week.

For those of you that don't know, Ouendan is a rhythm game (think DDR, Guitar Hero) for the DS. As of now, it is only being released in Japan, but the DS is region-free and you'll have no trouble playing it on your American DS. The core gameplay is simple enough; it involves tapping and sliding your stylus on the touchscreen in beat with the catchy J-Rock/J-Pop songs. Before each stage starts, you are presented a quick story that sets up the scene in comic-book style and as the leader of the "cheer team" (that's what ouendan means), it's your job to help the person in the story get through their everyday trials and tribulations by cheering them on.

...

Now that I've re-read that last paragraph, that's actually a horrible explanation of how the game works. I'm sure if you use your internets you can find a video of actual gameplay that'll do a much better job of explaining than I can.

Also, did I mention that the game is pretty hard? I'm on the last stage of the medium difficulty right now and I've probably played a couple dozen times so far and haven't even gotten to the halfway point of the song. Plus, there are hard and insane difficulty levels, too. Lord knows I don't have the chops to beat the entire game, but dammit I'll try.

Anyways, like I said, buy this game right now. Don't be put off by the game being an import and entirely in Japanese, you don't really need to read anything to play it.

photographic proof of my busted phoneThis is the aforementioned phone from the jounal before this one. It should be noted that in all pictures, this phone is on and ready to accept calls. When I bought this phone, it was top of the line. I even downloaded the sports center theme song back in the day and people were all "whoa." Now I can't even change it.

I was originally going to point out the flaws in a brilliantly executed MS paint, but why bother; I'll just let the pictures speak for themselves.

cell phone woesAs much as a gadget lover as I am, I have yet to spring for a fancy "more tools than a swiss army pocketknife" cell phone. That's too bad because the cell phone I currently use doesn't really.... work right. The display has been completely blank for; oh about a year now, and every time I want to call someone whose number I don't have memorized, I have to go to the internet to check the text file that I emailed to myself that has my list of numbers that I wrote down when the first signs of impending display failure were present. So yeah, that's not very handy. Everything else on the phone besides the display works just fine, so I've yet to convince myself that I should buy a new one.

Anyways, my predicament is this: My current contract with Sprint isn't up until September. I'm an AT&T employee, which means that I get a discount for Cingular service. I'd like to switch carriers when my contract is up, but from what I've researched, I'm going to need a new phone as the companies employ different technologies to get the signal around. That means I'll have to buy another new phone when I decide to switch and neatoburrito no likey.

This may be a long shot, but does anyone know of a phone that will allow me to move from Sprint to Cingular service with little effort outside of unlocking the phone? My search efforts have yielded little fruit, so I was hoping that one of you is a cellphone guru and can help me out. Anyone that helps out will get a picture of me holding up a sign with your choice of words on it.
