This is our bathroom sink. It looks like a face. It kinda weirds me out whenever I pee.

I want a monkey tail.

I’m completely serious.

Christina has begged me not to write this, because she thinks it’s going to make people think I’m weird, but whatever. You know what I think is weird? NOT wanting a monkey tail.

Hey all. You’re in for a nonsense post tonight, because hey, it’s 4th of July weekend (if you’re American, if not, then it’s just The Weekend) and we were out having dinner and general merriment, and I unfortunately have to work at 6am tomorrow morning (but I’m off at 11, so I still count it as a weekend off).

Take care, be safe, and have a happy holiday!

One time when I was driving home from my college class, I had hooked my iPod up to my car stereo and put it on shuffle. I had just gotten my iPod and I didn’t have a ton of music on it yet, but one album I made sure was on there was the Super Smash Bros. Melee soundtrack. So I’m driving home on the freeway, and Mute City from F-Zero comes on.

I love achievements. There is nothing more satisfying that hearing that “buh-doop” after completing an in-game task and knowing your Gamerscore got a little larger. They add a new layer to games, and oftentimes add replay value that otherwise wouldn’t exist.

So with our tax return, Christina and I decided to invest in a new TV. Our old one wasn’t BAD, it was a 32″ 1080i CRT TV. It served us pretty well for about three years.

But THIS… this is an LG 47″ LED 1080p TV, with 240hz refresh rate. OH MAN. I didn’t really know much about refresh rates until we were shopping around, and it makes such a huge difference. There is NO motion blur on ANYTHING. Games, movies and TV are all smooth as silk. Motion is so smooth it looks like it’s actually right in front of us. The picture doesn’t really do it justice, but our entertainment center is about 3 feet tall, and the TV is HUGENORMOUS.

We’ve got the Xbox 360 and Blu-Ray player hooked up via HDMI and it’s SO AWESOME. I’m not usually one to brag, but as a video game writer, this is the equivalent of me having a 30th-story office where every wall is a window.

Since we’ve been so busy with the apartment, I haven’t had time to go get my hair cut so I have a wicked meta-mullet going on. I also haven’t shaved in four days. I said on the PK Bloggin’! Facebook page that I looked like a younger, less svelte Solid Snake, and proof was demanded. I am a man of the people, so here’s my proof.

I still have the necktie on my head.

Anyway, I have a YouTube channel now, and I’m sure I’ll make more stupid videos at some point.

I want to play The Conduit for Wii. Not because I think it looks interesting, but because I want to write an article with the headline “YOU CON-DU-IT!” Get it? Hahahahaha.

I guess it’d be funnier if the game was still relevant.
