  Tea. I Bathe In It. Do You Really Care? No? Maximum Desired Response!!

  

  Yup. You're probably wondering why I'm writing this, as I should be somewhere in the middle of nowhere, crying silently as the surrounding noises of wildlife scare the living hell out of me. Well, that's entirely correct!! Upon my arrival, I realized that my aunt is also visiting. Not only can I enjoy her somewhat manic company, I can also borrow her USB whatchakerhoozle! You know, one of those thingies you stick into a USB port and it magically grants you a pathway to the Intarwebz. I forgot its real name since every store has a different name for it. Go figure. Anyways, it's freakishly slow, so I won't be able to check you guys' blogs or anything, as that'd take all damn night. So uh, sorry for that.

  The weather's been pretty typical. First it's sunny and hot, then it's windy and then it starts snowing. I mean, raining. With some thunder in the mix. Yup. Still, I'm enjoying the fresh air as much as a geek who catches fire in sunlight and melts in the rain possibly can. If not counting the mosquitos and bees, both of which I'm allergic to.. Been working pretty hard. Still, everyone except Chuck Norris gets tired after a load of work. Too bad Norris isn't here to help us finish the dock. He's the opposite of a weak nerrrrrd.

  

  Other than that, I haven't got much to do. Learning some kanji (I only know 20-30), playing Shin Megami Tensei DS and reading The End of Eternity by Isaac Asimov. Thankfully it's in English, Finnish translations are always so lame.. Anyways, the name might sound familiar. Maybe not Asimov, but End of Eternity, yes? It's the futuristic RPG Tri-something is working on. I don't know if the game's even slightly based on the book, though. It's a pretty good novel this far, but it's so short I won't have anything to read during next week. I still have my hunting bow and a dart target, though..

  Hope I got that virus outta mah systemz. The virus scan doesn't detect it, at least..

  Aaaaanyways. It's 11 pm and the sun's still up. I guess this is the wonder of nature, huh? Yes, indeed. I may have to take a few photos. Good? Good. I'll write the next blawg once I get home, which is somewhere between next week's Friday and the Monday after that. Laters.

  

  (So goddamn sleepy I really don't wanna check for typos, so don't point them out in the comments. And the picture above I made in order to illustrate how all blobs are virtually the same. Yeah, I was bored.)

  Edit: Sorry if this blog looks weird. It's because of the connection. It kinda sucks. Yes.

  Damn You, Seaweed Helmets! Why Must You Be So Fashionable!?

  How do you like my avatar? Made it myself. Originally it didn't have a monocle, but I thought one would fit Mr. Bear here. It was supposed to be seethrough, but I was afraid of completely ruining it.. Feedback would be much appreciated!

  So, here's the "bye" blog I promised to write. I'm leaving this Wednesday. I will return on the 21st, which happens to be just 2 days before the release of Katamari Damacy Tribute! Lucky me, huh? I'll have something to do instead of just.. being bored. I'll also take my laptop and a few movies along, but I won't be needing them so often, as I'll spend most of the time outside.

  Ohh man, shouldn't have studied that cursed painting. Being the superstitious occultist I am, I feel somewhat nervous..

  Umm, anyways! Tomorrow C.O.R.E. should finally be released. I've been waiting for the game since last November! Too bad it won't arrive in time so that I could play it on the train or something, but at least I've got SMT DS. Yes.

  I ordered this pretty piece of textile from Ninja-Bot.com a little while ago. How do you like it? It's almost like it was made for me, haha.

  

  Ninja-Bot is the official Halolz shop, so it sells lots of goodies based on Internet jokes, such as the Awesome face. It also sells video game related stuff, obviously. I'm not a fan of Halolz, but it is the birthplace of many hilarious things..

  I just arrived home from the movies. I went to see The Hangover with a friend, and it turned out to be OK. Still, it was nothing compared to Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas, which is my favorite movie.

  Before the movie started, we were pretty bored. And since game hunting is the best cure for it after actually playing them, we decided to do just that. I ended up buying the Sega Collection, since none of the game stores nearby had the two other games I would've bought. Still, this should entertain me until I leave, and a few days after I return until Katamari arrives. My stepdad's bro also lent me Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare yesterday, which I've played for a few hours in total. It's a good game, albeit nothing revolutionary in my eyes. I felt like doing this after the first few missions.

  Hmm. That should be all. Now I'm off to watch Gojira vs Destroyah, and after that, I'll feed my PS3 a disc full of Sega goodness.

  See you in a few weeks! I'll be around tomorrow to read your blogs, though.

  Cutting a Carrot With a Mallet Isn't Easy! Cleanup Princesses Sure Are Lazy.

  You have now entered my blog. You must read it. There is no turning back once your browser loads this WORD!

  

  See? No escape!

  This is a good chance for me to lecture you, having trapped you here and all.

  Lesson 1! "What should I do if a bear attacks!?"

  The solution is simple. You find another bear and start wrestling with it. This way the attacking bear will notice that you're busy and leave.

  I just made you smarter than your French teacher! Now get out there and brag about it!

  Lesson 2! Stuff has been made hard for consumers!

  I don't know if it's on purpose or something.

  I just received a notification saying there's something wrong with my BlazBlue order. I checked 4 times and everything was correct, but it STILL wouldn't let my order through. Damn you, GameStop!

  

  Now I won't be getting my bonus DVD, OST and the pretty artbook..! I have to order it from Renchi without all those bonus goodies.. It'll take a good while to ship, too! Why make a region free console if importing is almost impossible!?

  BB was my most anticipated game of the year, but somehow my hype for it.. Died a bit thanks to not getting it at the same time as everyone else. I've also heard of tons of casuals starting the game just for its visuals. I hope it won't be the next SFIV, swarming with people who don't even know what a Rapid Cancel is.. The fighting game genre really is attracting the wrong kinds of people. No offense to anyone, of course; you just need to become good.

  Anyways, I think I need something to play while waiting for BlazBlue. I have three titles on my mind, which are Armored Core: For Answer, Sonic's Ultimate Collection (or whatever its name is) and Eternal Sonata. They're all horribly overpriced, though. Even though AC isn't that new, it's still 50 euros. And while the 360 version of Eternal Sonata is only 30 euros, the PS3 one is 60! The Sega Collection is 40 euros, which is a pretty reasonable price considering that you basically pay a single euro per game. Still, it's much cheaper in the States.. Oh, for those of you who don't know, one euro is about 1,4 USD at the moment.

  Aaaanyways, which one would you guys recommend?

  By the way, Sony might be considering making the PS3 backwards compatible again. This time without additional hardware, though. Just in case you haven't heard yet.

  I guess that's pretty much it.

  Oh, one last thing! I'm going to the countryside for a couple of weeks soon. I might actually even do some work there, haha! Maybe I should save Shin Megami Tensei DS until that. As "fun" as physical work is, I might get bored and hunger for some gaming goodness. Oh well, I'll probably write a blog before going. I'm not that active though, so you wouldn't notice the difference anyways.

  Happy Canada Day. Maple syrup for everyone!
