So last week I woke up with about... 7 scratches on my arm - 3 along the underside of the bottom half of my right arm, a on the top, and another 3 on the top of the top half - and one on my chin. It was weird, but they were all very shallow, despite being a few inches long, so I just kinda shrugged it off. Just found a new one today between my eyebrows when I went to take a shower. This one drew blood apparently, and happened with the past 6 hours, 'cause it wasn't there before... I think. I don't know if I should be concerned; I have no idea where these are coming from and I certainly don't feel them when they happen.  |

Guess I won't be playing Lunar when it arrives.  I've ordered a replacement socket, and hopefully I'll have a good screwdriver ready for when THAT arrives, because the screwdriver I use just doesn't work! Believe me, I'm holding back on this post right now... I'm fuming, because not only did my PSP screw up, I also found out what LITTLE money I saved, and I can't for the life of me figure out how it all went so fast! I'd expected to have about $80 left, but I ended up with... well right now it's not even double-digits, we'll just say that. The next target for total to save up for June is $1280... and then...? I come back to work in August... ... ... I keep forgetting that I can resign, eventually... UGH! I am NOT going to be stuck here, babysitting!!! ...though $1280 really isn't enough to get on my own feet, is it? ...how much does it cost to have a life of your own these days...?!? |

Recent spending habits: - HDD $87.69 - FMA PS2 $15.90 - FMA2 PS2 $9.99 - PS2 Stand $9.23 - PSP Power Socket $8.19 - Lunar PSP $39.99 Goals: Point A - Prismal Software - Driver's License - Car - Insurance - Commercial Driver's License - Job - House - Furniture - Dishes - Engagement Ring - Wedding Ring - Wedding - Success Point B I'm getting sick just thinking about how I'll get from Point A to Point B with only $1280. It sounds like a good plan on the surface, but that's just because it's not a very detailed plan. I still feel like I'm at the same point I've been at since 2007. Oh, and sometime, I've got to remember to do my tax returns; although honestly, if I'm only going to get back less than $1, and I've made less than $300, I highly doubt I even *need* to do my tax returns. What's the IRS going to do, sue me? // Well first thing's first, I can't prove I have a steady income to rent in another town/city without a car. Second, I have to have a job nearby said town/city... and currently, I'm stuck babysitting...  |

Is this that Tim Rogers article everyone is flipping out over? Has anyone actually checked actionbutton.net out? That guy is a total weirdo, and anything he says, no matter how valid, should be taken lightly. I read the whole thing, and it made me laugh at certain points. He comes off like a frail, trendy, hippie in a bad mood. Go home if you don't like it..... wanker |

This just in, Kotaku posts mostly irrelevant story from some random guy with content barely relevant to their site for mass pageviews.
Are they trying to become the new Sankaku Complex?

They seem to stick Tim's stuff up once a month, and it almost never has anything to do with the content of the site.

Go home if you don't like it..... wanker :D Yeah, I just asked my boyfriend if he caught the article just to see if he's had any similar experiences during his stay in Japan. Boyfriend simply said that Rogers is a raging douchebag and that he's hated his stuff for YEARS. ^^; I'll find out more about this douchebaggery tonight! XD |

Haven't they, for a while? Except lots less relevant and entertaining.

Say something contrarian to polarize fanboys. Watch the response roll in. Works everywhere on the internet.
On another forum where the post got brought up, all the people who have lived in Japan for a couple of years agreed with it. Everyone else just mocked Kotaku.
I survive Kotaku like most of the internet. I go there strictly for game news and ignore the people and their opinions.

I feel slightly bad about spending a 2009 coin. Pathetic.

I'm not knocking Kotaku, I'm knocking Tim Rogers. I'm familiar enough with his stuff to know he isn't someone I agree with.

I really want to see Sukiyaki Western Django. Like, now. ^ Been out drinking a lot lately? Man I wish I could explain it that easily. I don't drink, though. :/ |

I've ordered a replacement socket, and hopefully I'll have a good screwdriver ready for when THAT arrives, because the screwdriver I use just doesn't work!
