Napster Part 3
For the third time I decided to try Napster Premium last week. But this time I think I'm going to keep it. It's like music heaven. Michael Jackson's "One More Chance?" Not a problem. "Regulators?" hah, haven't heard it in a while, but it's there. I can't say what the other services provide (iTunes, Music Match, etc.) but I'm happy with Napster. Sure it doesn't have old Dru Hill, or Bone Thugs, but I've got their albums already. I decided to rip all my CD's to computer, so I'd have the added selection. Since then, this service has been going almost 24/7. I guess I could have gone to Kazaa and downloaded all this music, but it seems like too much hassle. I guess I'm getting too old to be searching for songs illegally. I'd rather pay someone for the convenience. Sad isn't it? But anyway, this has sparked my music tastes once again. Eminem, 2Pac, Dave Matthews Band (Ants Marching is now my favorite song. Damn, I wish I could play drums.), Evanescence, Linkin Park (I remember thinking I'd never listen to them.), Boyz II Men (In Spanish :D), Blue Man Group, the list goes on and on. Hell, I'm even listening to (and liking) a lot of the pop music out there (Hoobastank and Vanessa Carlton to name a few.).

To justify the cost, I cancelled my Final Fantasy XI account... I was paying $12.00 a month for a game I haven't played since April. So far it's worth it. I haven't gotten around to buying music online, but I'm sure I'll be doing that pretty soon. At least now I have something to listen to when I'm folding all my hands in poker.

Poker
Well, Brendan saw me drop quite a bit of money the other day. That was fun, but I deserved it. Thanks to the long, I found out when I play poker for longer than X hours I start playing really stupidly. Maybe it's because I've been overloaded. I logged about 30 hours in one week. Yes, I was up for most of that time, but thanks to my awesome playing, I'm back to square one again. So like everything in the world, moderation is key. 'Nuff said. Since then I've gone on to Video Games.

Video Games
More specifically: Silent Hill 3. I don't know what it is about these titles, but I don't LIKE playing them. I buy them because I love the whole survival horror genre. Yet when I get down to playing the game, I hate dodging dogs/slow moving zombies. I want to kill them all. Doom 3 style. The game is disturbing, and the "story" is actually kind of interesting in it's presentation. I get paid this week, so I guess I'd better beat it so I can buy new games... This week, Phantom Brave, Gradius V (Since Brendan's been hyping it up. I'm waiting for that Blog!) Finally to finish my smooth flowing blog...

Ju-on
Saw the preview. IT HAS THE FRICKEN SHAMBLE. That alone is enough to scare. Not to mention that little kids can produce the scariest scenes. I'm excited.

I'm done. Back to you, BLuck. :D

I'm sitting in school right now wondering if I should be doing work. I decided against it and instead won money online so I can go play cards with Steve, perhaps this weekend. I'm not exactly sure how much longer we are staying so I will give you an outline of what I am going to blog about either tonight or tomorrow. Please hand out the itinerary (spelling?) to everyone in the room...

Star Wars Episode III and the Star Wars DVD's. Opinions and what needs to happen in Episode III for me to forigve Lucas for JarJar.

Sony's PSP. Why it is going to suck and why I am still going to buy it.

Gran Turismo 4. Opinions and mostly Nip bashing for not making it online.

Hold'em advice. Just some observations that I saw at Cache Creek against some of those suckers.

Saw. Rated NC-17. The Grudge. Remake of Ju-on. Scared?

Eternal Sunshine of a Spotless Mind. Kevin the blackman told me to watch this film. Of course the film was done playing in theatres. My thoughts.

My goodbye to Gradius. Not that I am finished with it, but this is supposedly the last installment.

Time to roll out of class.
