  Salespeople...

  I went to Best Buy yesterday to buy a new all-in-one printer, since my old one couldn't scan with Windows 7. When it comes to printers, I've used HP most of my life and didn't intend on straying from that loyalty, so I was surprised to see an Epson printer on sale for $100 ($50 off, in fact). The salesperson recommended that one highly, so I went ahead and took it. Only after walking away did I notice that man was actually a representative for Epson. >_> Not that I have any complaints about the printer, though... it works great. I just wish I didn't have to be swayed like that... it's kind of a pet peeve of mine. Makes me almost feel like I've been swindled. Oh well, the next best HP printer was $105, so I'll live with what I've got.

  Presidential Visit and Other Things

  So yesterday, President Obama visited a college campus in Troy, NY, just 15 minutes away from my house, on his way to NYC. People were expecting a big hoopla about this visit, especially since VP Biden visited the area recently. However, this was all a private affair exclusively for the biggest government folks, nothing was open. The term "maximum security" is an underestimate of how tight everything was... the entire city of Troy was closed off for two hours during the President's stay. Afterwards, he was briskly led away and he and his entourage left promptly for NYC. Sure, there was plenty of media coverage, but something feels wrong about the events that transpired... almost as if this sprawling area wasn't enough for the Pres. It could have something to do with Governor Paterson, who was personally told by Obama not to run for election next year, but what do I know. Sometimes I'll never understand politics, I swear. >_>
  
  Anyways, on to my own life. I've been rather busy with schoolwork lately, so I haven't had much time for other things. When I do, I'm usually playing Persona 4... I'm setting a goal of beating that game before the end of the year, so wish me luck. Speaking of the Persona series, I'll be picking up the PSP port later today. I'm looking forward to playing that as well.
  
  That is all for now.

  Interesting article I found about JRPG's

  It's a well-written editorial about the aspects of JRPG's, and I think it's worth anyone's time.
