Hey I know I said I’d post more but I am busy with wedding stuff! You guys have no idea how tired I am. Well, you married people do. The rest of you can only imagine. I mean, you could if video games hadn’t destroyed your imagination.

Posts may be sporadic but they WILL happen! I have an awesome one planned for tomorrow. I’m just super tired and I got Halo: Reach yesterday and I have had exactly 20 minutes of free time to play it. You know what I did with my free time today? I fixed the images in the Pokémon article from the other day. I AM DEDICATED TO YOU.

Please be patient. If I don’t die before my wedding, things will level out soon.

So Christina and I have been hooked on Food Network lately, and as a result I’ve believed that I can cook just like all of the pros do. Over the past few days I’ve made some pretty good stuff, including homemade salsa (which I call Sunrider Salsa, a reference to the online persona I’ve used for as long as I can remember). Yesterday morning, though, I was reminded just how untalented I actually am.

Christina was scrambling eggs for breakfast and I was frying up some diced potatoes for home fries. Once they were done, I let the oil sit for a minute then went to clean the skillet. I thought the oil had cooled down. It hadn’t.

I wish I could carry a sword on my back when I’m just walking around. I mean, really, who’d mess with a guy who’s carrying a sword?

I’ve read conflicting things about the legality of it. Some sources say it’s not illegal since it’s not a concealed weapon, others say you need a permit, and others say it’s illegal no matter what. I don’t care, I just think it’s awesome.

I know carrying a sword on your back is a horrible way to carry it (most people’s arms aren’t long enough to unsheath a sword when it’s on their back, and due to my height I doubt I could do it) but it’s not like I’d be using it or anything. It’d be for show. Mostly.

I mean, women carry purses and have big dangly earrings and other accessories. I’d just have a sword. The beauty of it is, it goes with everything. Formal wear, business casual, even a day at the beach!

It’s all fine and dandy carrying a sword on your hip like a samurai, but the coolest guys carry them on their back. Ichigo Kurosaki, Toushirou Hitsugaya, Cloud Strife, Link, the Hero from Dragon Quest VIII, and me. If I had one, anyway.

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.
