Category: Travel. Time travel, that is.
I hope someone ends up reading these lines, written in a ragged, soiled loincloth.
It's been 3 days now. Unable to communicate. Impaired. My cable company crapped out on me and I'm cable-less and internet-less since forever. My beard hosts strange parasitic creatures, as I try to scrape some nourishment off from trashbags. Yesterday I let a couple of Jehova's Witnesses in to my house, just to have someone to talk to. After a while, they mumbled some weird excuses about being late to a party and took off. I asked them if they would return on monday, but they wouldn't answer. Perhaps my overgrown toenails freaked them out.

The flipside of having no internet (there is actually something good) is that it is easier to focus on games. Finally got hooked to Viva Pinata and it's PIMP. With a capitol, bling P. Raised about 21 or 22 levels throughout the weekend, and I just got the big garden. It's a shame this got marketed as a kid game. It's complex but highly rewarding.
Rented PunchOut!! I'm getting my ass kicked!! Lol. It's a good dose of nostalgia hidden inside a swift kick in the balls. Some of these guys are harder than I remember. I'm still stuck with Super Macho Man, my W/L ratio is laughable and I don't even reach title defense mode yet. I wonder if I ever will. Motion controls are horrible, though.
Got Prince of Persia and PGR4 as Father's Day presents. w00t. Tinkered around just a bit with both between VP mammoth sessions. PoP is actually GOOD. I was very surprised. PGR4 is...just like PGR3...and 2...and 1. Crap. I wonder if a wheel would make these games any better or more fun.
Watched 300 and Guy Ritchie's RockNRolla. Good stuff, although the latter falls short from the magnificence of Lock, Stock...
