So I turned thirty-onederful years old last week and I got a Best Buy coupon good all of September for 12% off a single item… So this weekend, I’m in the store looking around and I start contemplating… what to buy… if anything…

• HDTV? - No, I’ll buy one through Bruce if and when I want one…
• PS3 - Can’t cause the coupon won’t work…
• 360 - Can’t cause the coupon won’t work…
• 32 Gig iPod touch - Can’t cause the coupon won’t work…
• Oh! they do have a Bravia TV on sale! - Can’t cause the coupon won’t work…
• new Digital Camera - Can’t cause the coupon won’t work on sale items, the sale price is less than the coupon anyway, but I can get the cam for less on eBay…
• DVDs - WHAT A WASTE to save 12% on a DVD when DVDs already cost like 12% less everywhere else anyway (ok, that’s a slight exaggeration)
  

It’s probably just me but it feels like a waste to save 12% on anythign less than a few hundred $$$ because, well, its just like a $5 or $10 coupon which you can get through other means… So in short, I hate you Best Buy… You send me this stupid coupon that won’t work on anything I actually want… you’ve ruined my birthday… Best Buy, YOU SUCK… but I’ll still probably go back the next time I get a coupon; you know, just to rant all over again…

short rant today…

I bought some bananas from Trader Joes last Saturday and they were cheap and “organic.” Within 3 days, those bananas were starting to smell quite fragrant and then last night… little fruit fly gnat-tihngies everywhere. I’m going to kill them all when i get home and vacuum the hell out of the place. never ever buy bananas from TJ’s again…

side note: I got WiiFit yesterday and apparently i have the body of a 40 year old and my balance is horribly misaligned towards my back left foot. Guess I gotta work on a lotta things…

This is probably something of insignificance to most people but I changed both of my car’s headlights on my own today… yes. I am proud of myself. I had no idea what I was doing but it works and I saved $15… whoopie…

I also saw 10,000 BC and The Bank Job this weekend. Rent the Bank Job or catch a matinee. Skip 10,000 BC all together unless you want to fall asleep. Slow, drawn-out, and like most movies of its kind, the last 10 minutes are not worth the 90+ minute wait.

On a separate topic, SUPER SMASH BROS. BRAWL came out today. I will be getting my copy tomorrow at work via amazon.com. If you have the game, send me your in-game friend code and well link up after I get home from work. :D

Well honestly, you either love the point-and-click adventure game genre or you hate it. If you like wacky and pretty sarcastic humor, then you’d probably love the Phoenix Wright series. If you’ve played through the first 3, you owe it to yourself to pick up this game. If you’re curious about this game, you still owe it to yourself to play through the first 3 games before trying this jewel (because honestly, it’s so much better than the first 3 that they wouldn’t be as much fun if you played this one first). The picture to the right is what Phoenix now looks like in this fourth game of the series. I really like hie new ‘bum’ look now that he’s no longer an attorney–a slob like the rest of us! (Geeze, I wish I looked that good with a beanie… that’s weird for me to admit considering he’s just a drawing too).

Last night I just intended to play maybe for like 15 minutes or so but after an hour and half (or maybe it was two), I had finished the first case. It was fun and really, I kind of broke a rule I had tried to set up for myself and that’s not to start a new game until I’ve completed the previous game I’ve been playing. In addition to Apollo, I also have Hotel Dusk, Advanced Wars DOR, and Final Fantasy XII: Revenant Wings to finish. Oh well…

I was tired today considering I didn’t sleep until 2 AM or so but then again, I actually play a little DS before bed every night as it usually helps put me to sleep. I guess my mistake last night was playing Apollo instead of Puzzle Quest which does get pretty repetitive and boring pretty quickly. Tonight I’ll need to resist playing Apollo but I’m actually about an hour into the second case so I doubt I’ll be able to put the game down unless I get stuck.

Why would I want to live in Seattle, then I would be able to go the Play! video game concert. You would think that after last years miserable Video Games Live concert I’d have learned my lesson, but this is a tour set by different producers and unlike VGL, I have a feeling that they have permission from Square-Enix to use their footage as its the same producer who worked on the Final Fantasy Dear Friends concert tour.

Anyway, I got nothing else to say tonight. I’m tired but I’m gonna play a little Apollo Justice Ace Attorney before going to bed. :)
