The Dow, it’s OVER 9,000?!

You have no idea how long I’ve been waiting to say that, as much as I thought it was lame-o the first time around. >_>;;
Watch it close just under 9k just to spite me! :P

re: Disgaea 3

Johnny Bosch has WAY too much fun as Almaz. XDDD
This is, like, borderline “it should be ILLEGAL to be that funny” territory.

So far I am really liking Disgaea 3; it’s got the kooky “what it takes to be a demon” elements from the first game’s plot and the improved gameplay from the second game. I just wish I hadn’t been lazy in taking off the cellophane for about a year. Ahahahahahaha.

On a related note, I should probably preorder the PSP port of Disgaea 2… and pick up a replacement battery door for my PSP while I’m at it. Turns out it’s not my PSP battery that’s being lame-o, it’s the door… it has a very fine crack in the middle that keeps it from closing all the way, thus it can’t properly hold the battery in place. I can most likely loot a replacement for dirt cheap on DealExtreme. >_>;

That is all.

(LJ version: also beware the Etna icon)

I’ve a wee confession.
I’ve had Disgaea 3 since last year but it’s still in its cellophane. (I’d preordered from Gamestop and even had it overnighted.) I just didn’t have time to play it. >_>;;;
With the announcement of the trophy patch, and its little side effect of making existing save data unusable… part of me is glad I was so lazy in getting around to playing. o.O

So, uh, now seems like a good time to, you know, play it and such. Ahahahaha.

I’m such a dork.

Wakachan needs a /dragon/. I can’t believe they DON’T have anything like that. I don’t care if it’s literally dragons or hybrid dragons (e.g. dragon-girls with huge boobs, the usual imageboard translation of “hybrid”). Boooo!

Perhaps I should consider an expansion to my artbook stash… >_>;;; *digs up Disgaea 1 artbook*

Also me + Painter at 3am willl forever be a horrible, horrible thing. >:P

Either I slept funny or something, because… ow. I usually fall asleep face-down with much pillow-hugging and lately have been waking up on my side (facing Dinah, who is on a table just beyond the pillows/topside, because ninja laptops supply music or other background noise) and with my legs hanging off the edge, which is usually a big no-no because normally I can’t lie like that without ohgodbackpain after a minute or so.

And now today I wake up with plenty of it. I could chug some advil but it’d take just as long for it to kick in than if I were to just wait it out.

TL;DR VERSION: WTF MY BED IS TRYING TO KILL ME.
(Then again, a full-size bed for a 25-year-old is too small. I have no idea how my brother can put up with that and he’s even taller.)

Some dudes from Organizing for America (aka the old Obama campaign) called about an hour ago asking about a health care story I had posted in reply to one of their calls for public input. They were asking if anything had changed, and for consent to send it to D.C., I’m presuming so the President can personally read it because aside from being paraded around on the White House website and such, I’m not sure what more could be done with it. ^_^;

But, if it ends up being even a little helpful in prompting a cleanup of this massive mess that is the American health care system, why not?

Of course, this just HAD to remind me of my silly pipe-dream in which I’m summoned to the White House to draw the First Family much in the style of my goofy political Ramen pieces (like PUNDIT BRAAAAAWL!). Because you know that would be epic awesome.

Speaking of arts, I am so overdue for another bar scene piece.
I have this weird fixation on groups of otherwise-semi-normal people being really silly… hence, bar scenes*, politicians/pundits playing video games and the like. The latter is a little more, er, “dangerous” because I risk incurring the wrath of my more conservative peers for the sake of lulz, but the payoff tends to be worth it.
These pieces take so long to do because there are so many people involved, but considering the end result… >:D

The great irony of my fixation of bar scenes and beer humor? I’ve never consumed any kind of alcoholic beverage, nor do I intend to. Not so much because of a dislike of it… more like lack of interest. Go figure.
