If nothing else, tonight I discovered that playing SSX and clearing Aloha Ice Jam and Untracked is a LOT more exciting than reading the Pennsylvania Driver's Manual.
Yes, I'm going to try to learn to drive. Stay off the streets, y'all.
Bleh. Sooooo apathetic. I have to start really doing stuff during the day. Tonight I talked to my friend Franklin who said he got a job by just sending resumes through CMU HR, and people called him within a few days, so maybe I should write some cover letters and try out this sending-resumes-to-CMU-HR thing and see what happens. If I write and print tomorrow (Wednesday) and walk them to Whitfield Hall on Thursday, by the time I get back from Philly next weekend I may have heard something!
Tonight I went to SFFS, where it was mostly chaos, although we did achieve reading part of the Eye of Argon. Yippee. Carl and Visigoth and others read the mst3k part of it, which was cute.
After that, I went to IMSO. Tonight it was in squirrel hill, and since the girl hosting it has downstairs neighbors who hate her, we only played Para Para and Samba. The Dreamcast Para Para Paradise (called "Dream Para Para") is... well... it only has like 12 songs. And they're all like 3 minutes long. It's basically like they took one of Carolee's VCDs and decided to add some steps to it. They didn't even really do it well - a lot of times things don't really match up to what I'm used to from PPP, and it felt like they skipped arrows a lot. So, sure, it's $45 for the game and the controller, but I don't know whether it's worth it... if you want a cheap parapara fix I think it's great, but if you can afford to shell out the money for the real thing, you should do that. I did decide to buy Rebecca's second DPP disc off her (she bought two discs and two controllers because the controllers weren't listed separately), and I'll probly use it as a parapara VCD, for all intents and purposes. (Hm, I forgot to pay her for it. On the other hand, she borrowed my PPP controller placement paper, so... we'll straighten it all out eventually.) Samba was more fun this time since the controllers weren't so screwy. Bayani and I played this "hustle mode" thing in Samba 2K which was a lot of fun, even if I sucked at it. There's a lot of good music in Samba, actually. Reminds me that I kinda want to go swing or latin or something dancing.
I wish I had something entertaining to say right now, but sadly, the most entertaining thing that popped into my head was "ow, my eye just started itching suddenly." which probably won't amuse anyone.
