It's been turkey-less, and the UT-A&M game was one of the ugliest games I've seen since I ever started following UT football. Still, this break has been rather nice.It's been mostly just well-coordinated slacking with the a-town crew, which has been hugely immersed in gaming goodness thanks to the 2 Wiis, 1 PS3, and 2 copies of Guitar Hero II among us. It's all phenomenally addictive, and altogether it's been one of the best gaming seasons in recent years. I'm not sleeping as much as I do on school breaks, but it's been hugely refreshing anyway. I'm in good spirits, and I think I'll be capable of finishing the semester in good shape. More importantly, the gaming is really good lately.The Wii launch day was a little bit insane. I took a stab at getting one at Target on early launch morning. Austin's biggest Target turned away overnight campers. On the way home, though, An Lee suggests we try Sam's, since we have nothing to lose. We get there to find the store has all of 6 units, and there are 6 people who have been camping overnight. So we're headed back to the highway when An Lee gets a lightbulb. He calls Sam's, gets the manager, and finds out that the people in line will get one *per membership card.* The people in line had been together. So we show back up, as inconspicuously as two out of 8 guys in the middle of a parking lot can, and silently wait two hours. Once the store prepares to open, the people in line figure out what went wrong and raise hell with the manager, but to no avail - An Lee and I are victorious. Because it's 3am, and I'm sleepy, I will unequivocably (but with some exceptions) recommend these games that I've been playing:Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney
Zelda: Twilight Princess
Rayman Raving Rabbids
Wii Sports (yeah, it's actually really cool)
Red Steel
Marvel Ultimate Alliance (for 4-player coop only)
Resistance (only if you lack the means to play Halo)Law school applications are done. They all went out about a month ago but had some loose ends to tie up. It's been a gigantic weight off my shoulders, but I didn't feel the relaxation until I finished all my stuff for JA. Seriously, this semester was just one thing after another, and I'm relieved it's downhill from here. Now I can focus on fun things, like Japan. I'm taking off on December 26th and returning on January 14th, which is right before classes start. Starting from now, you can request stuff for me to bring back from Japan, but I'll require the money in advance. The 'surprise me' option is also available, so EMAIL ME if you really do want something.
