what have i been up to? not much. catching up on sleep and doing schoolwork. on tuesday, ken and i played resident evil 5 for awhile and beat the second level- it's going pretty slowly because i don't have a lot of time for video games right now. still super scary, and a pretty fun game, though the first level was way scarier than the second. i'm enjoying the co-op aspect but it sort of stresses me out because i occasionally have to do important things to help my team and i'm used to like... hanging back and dps-ing a boss. the thing that i like the most, though, is (and forgive me if i screw this up, i'm too ADD to ever read or synthesize any VIDEO GAME LORE) the bad guy we are hunting right now is named IRVING.
ACK !!!!!!!! irving is in another castle !!!!
i guess technically his name is ricardo irving and he once had the terrifying job of researcher at whatever company made the gross stuff and maybe he had to infect himself and he turned into a tentacle guy? i don't know.
i also bought fallout 3 for $8 used on amazon. i don't know when i'm going to have time to play it, but it was highly recommended to me ! i look forward to not learning the backstory of this game, too.
what else? school ! school is going okay. i had a really hard time with a history assignment where we had to be creative and write about a fictional mob (using real colonists based on their biographies) and then analyze the actions of the mob. i ended up making a mob who hung a stamp distributor in effigy, but i'm not really sure if i did it right.
after i finish classes tonight, my summer semester will be halfway over. i haven't actually applied to school for the fall yet, so i need to get on that. i think i'm going to submit my application tomorrow !
oh yeah, i met with mouse for a little bit after he got off work, before my class- we got coffee and i got super amped up because i had a giant iced coffee in addition to the two mexican cokes i had earlier in the day. mouse is funny. his back is kind of hurt and i had to convince him not to go to jiu jitsu. i mean, he went anyway, but he promised he wouldn't do any jiu jitsu.
the moooooost exciting news is my friend christine is coming up from baltimore today and we're going to hang ouuuuuuut. i have class, but either christina will entertain her or she can sit quietly and pet pizza until my class is over. one exciting thing about christine is her cat is a fig pizza.
my cat, pizza
jeanne's cat, fig (pizza's bff)
philomena, the fig pizza
isn't that exciting?
blehhh i have to go do work but i have lots more exciting stuff to tell you guys tomorrow, mostly about homework and shit !
Ummmmm so I just have to tell you that your blog is my favourite ever. I read it at work and it's got the mix of funniness and informativeness that I look for in a blog. I don't play videogames, but the way you describe them makes me want to play! Also I love cats. So. Yes.
ReplyDeleteTo conclude, you = awesome. Please movie to Canada so we can be friends.
hahaha thanks ! i appreciate it. i'll move to canada, but only to regina or the french place. do you live in either of those places?
ReplyDeleteAHHAHA i love that picture of Fig!! and also a fig pizza sounds really UN-tasty. :(

ReplyDelete^ that sounds like the strangest project ever. they were angry about the british and the colonial upper class for labor/profit so they got mad and smashed crap up or burned stuff. how much can you say about their actions?
there's actually some interesting stuff in there, like... no colonial riots led to real direct violence (though tarring and feathering is arguably violent) unlike the riots in england, and any deaths from riots in the colonies were either caused by foreigners from england or ireland, or were the deaths OF rioters by the british. and also, some other crap.
ReplyDelete"ACK! irving is in another castle!!" is so good, ahahahaha! fallout 3 is awesome and definitely worth eight bucks, but it is definitely a game that you can play for approx. 1 million hours and get completely sucked into. i'm stoked to hear what you think once you have time to start playing it!
