"Headlines are for wimps. And also for CNN."

Um...hello.

Four posts in almost two weeks is not good, and I can't blame it all on being busy. Yes, well, I can. But I won't. While I am busy, there are times when I've had the choice between: a) Crashing on the couch and watching TV or playing video games for an hour; or b) Writing an entry in my journal.

I chose 'a'.

Why? Not because I don't love y'all. I do. I love each and every one of you. And although this journal didn't start out as an open window into my life and work, that's what's happened. There's an Audience, and It's Listening. Not a huge one, but a solid and dependable Band of Regular Readers. And because of you guys, I feel I have a responsibility to update this journal on a regular basis, unless I'm travelling, on a deadline, or just dead.

In fact, I've come to really enjoy updating my journal and getting feedback from my readers. So thanks for reading, and thanks for writing.

Tonight's Spanish class night, and I haven't done my homework yet. Every weekend I say to myself, "this weekend, I'm doing my homework", and every Thursday I end up doing the homework at the office an hour before my class starts. This, people, is my life in a nutshell. I'm good at procrastinating.

Here's Daniel:

"I have just bought and played Kingdom Hearts quite alot now and i must say i love it, and i urge you to reconsider and drop every other game you currently are set to play and trow your self at Kingdom Hearts. It IS that good and you´ll love the world, packed with Disney caracters (as well as caracters from squaresofts games, mostly the FF series), and just think of the great fun of playing this adventure (cause it is a huge adventure) along with Donald and Goofy at your side. And the worlds... Agrabah (or how it´s spelled) with Ali and the Genie... in the ocean with Ariel the mermaid.. Colloseum with Hercules.. halloween town (from nightmare before christmas.. Underland with alice and them nifty cardguards.. the list goes on and you´ll love it i know it.

PS. as the rabbit in "wonderland" would put it: "i´m late, i´m late, i have to play the game, oh, i´m late" DS."

I agree - it's a fun game - but I just haven't had the time nor the energy to play it all that much. And the combat gets sorta repetitive, albeit fast paced and relatively easy. But I do love Donald and Goofy, and being able to jump into tons of Disney-worlds is a dream come true. I will play it more, as soon as I have the time (I haven't played any games for two weeks). The Gummi-ship bits are horrible, though, and every time I have to travel through space, I get irritated. Why-oh-why stick those space-travel-through-rings elements on top of a good, third-person action-adventure? Stupid. Stooopid.  ¶ 16:54
