This is what our living room looks like at the moment. It’s really dirty! The walls used to have wallpaper, now they’re bare and coated with ugly plaster. This is not an ideal spot to play video games, especially since there’s no furniture in there!

I’m writing this post from our computer desk, which is currently in the kitchen next to the dinner table. I’m also next to a bookcase blocking our back door, a CD rack full of PlayStation 1 and Dreamcast games, another rack of PC games, and an end table with random junk on it. Christina is behind me at the sink cleaning up after dinner.

I’m very glad that we’re remodeling, because the place is going to look fantastic when it’s done. We picked out paint today. Unfortunately my idea to paint a badass mural was rejected. In the meantime, though, it sucks because there’s no way to play console games. I can play World of Warcraft on the computer, and I have all my handhelds in here, but even then I don’t have a lot of time because after I get home from work we’re working on making the place all shiny awesome.

I’m dying because two games I’ve been waiting forever for, No More Heroes 2 and Tatsunoko vs Capcom (and to a lesser extent Mass Effect 2, I still need to finish the first one) hit yesterday and it’s going to be about another two weeks before I can play them.

Thanks for coming to my pity party. I hope you enjoyed the hors d’oeuvres!
