READY TO FRIDAY photo

What up. Did you guys know it's Nick Chester's birthday today? He's 31, which is a whole year older than me, and I do my best to make sure he never forgets that. Which would work a lot better if he were reading this, which he's probably not. But still. It's better than getting sappy about how one of my best friends turned into my boss and how that could have been weird but it wasn't and I'm totally super proud of him and all the awesome things I've watched him achieve over the past 3 years. Instead of that, I will make fun of him and say HAHA you're older than me, because then I don't lose my street cred, yo. But yeah, wish him a happy birthday when you see him.

Anyway, a collection of things that distracted me while I was trying to write this:

FRIDAY. What's everybody up to this weekend?

HE'S A WHOLE YEAR OLDER WHICH MEANS THAT HIS DAD COULD BEAT UP YOUR DAD

Or something along those lines.

Happy Birthday Nick, it's saddening to see all you kids (Im 35) having way more fun than I. Oh well, it's the start of a 4 day weekend after working from home for the last two and I think it's to be more Half Life 2: Ep 2 and Big Bang Mini. Oh and I started FF3 again for no apparent reason. That should be more than enough for my old man hands to handle.

Wallowing in Dragon Age, goin down to PG County to visit my boy from way back, droppin off Radiata Stories and Tales of Legendia for my parents to enjoy (Retirement + netflix account + PS2 JRPGs = A happy dad), more Simpson's Scene It with the missus, and watching Blade Runner and/or The Fifth Element.

Dragon Age and paying someone else to rake my yard, as I seem to have the biggest tree in town. I attempted to go at it myself, but after filling four huge leaf bags from a 4'x10' area on the side of my house, I decided I didn't want to do that anymore. Luckily the local high school wrestling team goes around and offers to rake your lawn for a minimal price.

Playing lots of Dragon Age and doing grad school work. Then, I'm gonna break every copyright law ever and get the internet shut off for my whole block. That will be after donning my City 17 jumpsuit and hiding in my crappy apartment building.

Also, READY TO FRIDAY!

Happy birthday Nick! Just one more year closer to me randomly meeting you on the street and shanking you for that Brutal Legend review. Enjoy it!

Also I seriously think I'm gonna make pic 3 my iPhone wallpaper. All the pics are fantastic. What do you guys actually do over there? :P

I organized an Accounting study group in my class for the sole purpose of trying to get with this one Chinese exchange student. We are meeting this Sunday.

Am I a bad person, or am I an awesome person? What is a man?

@the meat: I guess if I needed something to do for the next six months I could do that. There must be 30 miles of copper behind that wall. That would make your house totally hurricane-proof.

Happy Birthday Nick!! (in case he does read this!)

My weekend? My husband is away on Friday and Saturday... so while the husband is away, the wife will play... and I'll be playing MAG all Friday till about 9pm, then I'll switch over to Dragon Age: Origins. On Saturday it will be MAG till 4pm (when the servers close) and then dinner, then Killzone 2 with Dtoid for the PS3 SNS. After that I'll play Dragon Age or Ratchet and Clank. On Sunday I'll likely play DOA until my husband gets home, then I'll pretend I've been doing housework all weekend! :)

Yes... I have no life. :(

Happy Birthday, Nick! "May your shadow never wither."
Also, for the weekend, mostly just a mix of R&C:CiT, maybe some FNF (Or is it called SNS now?) with some DToiders. And.. if my eyes will stop watering long enough for me to actually fucking see, I might try getting killed some more in demon's souls.

Happy Fryday birthday Nick! Mandatory birthday holidays FTW!

As of now I am atempting to download me some PSP games, but I can't because I need a newer update... and I can't do that because my battery's too low? WTF

My game of choice for this weekend though would have to be Folklore as that's the way I roll. As soon as this PSP's charge level is "high enough" I'm going to dl Mega Man X Maverick Hunter because I want it to have a baby.

Also, semi-furry beast bears and OH MY GOD
