A Case of the Blahs and Impulse Buys

Today started out as an uneventful day... until I got an idea that made me giddy the rest of the day... but that comes later. 


I woke up at 1:05 and was dreading the rest of the day because I had to go work at 5:00. Not only that, but my room was a mess because I had the genius idea of rearranging it so I had more of a work studio. In other words, I didn't want to get up from my computer to go to my art table or my keyboard, but lamentably, the keyboard then would've been in the middle of the room and it would have looked odd... so I had to deviate from my initial plan. 

Anyway, after the rearranging, I had lots of Wal-Mart bags, broken jewel cases, coins, and empty game cases in the middle of the room. I had a quick breakfast, turned on my computer, logged on to pandora.com, and started to pick stuff up. My goal was not to completely finish everything before work, just to make it look I had made progress so that my mom wouldn't yell at me after coming home. 

After a couple of songs, I decided I was in need of a break. I sat at my computer to play Street Fighter IV which I had bought over four days ago but only got to downloading today since something was jacked up on the site. There were two hours left until I had to get ready for work and I definitely was going to enjoy that time. Well, I would've played it, if I could've gotten the game to work at all. I spent almost an hour trying to turn on Direct 3D or whatever. Then after I had accomplished that, all I'd get after clicking on the executable was a black screen. I've tried waiting a couple of minutes to see if something would happen... no... nothing. And I was looking forward to it too. 

I don't understand it. I've checked the system requirements and it looked like everything checked out. The only thing I didn't have was an Xbox controller for windows. Oh well, I think I solved the problem anyway.

Wait for it... wait for it...

I bought a Play Station 3!

I know what you may be thinking, "Isn't it kind of silly to make a 300 dollar investment on a Play Station 3 for just one game?"

Well, maybe... but after so many years, the Play Station 3 has finally swayed me with games that aren't out for my trusty Nintendo Wii and I have an old PS one, my brother owns a PS2, why not finish it off with a PS3.
