Well I've got the blog up. I've played with the colors. I'm happy with the look of things. I hope my sweety is.

I'd done some cleaning and jamming out to some cool imported digital music from who knows where, some from England, that's about all I know for sure. Now I'm done with setting up the blog. What to do next...

I could watch TRON. I keep thinking about that. I was considering going to the movies, but i'm low on cash and I didn't really see anything that I HAD to see. My buddy John said Blade 2 was exciting and action packed, but lacked any plot at all. I love a good action flik now and again, but I prefer to save my theater experiences for movies that really deserve the big audio and screen treatment. Some movies are still good on the small screen, but not as good as 20-30 feet tall! Especially when all you have is a little 19" TV!

I could play the Playstation. I've been really enjoying a game I got from my mom for Xmas. The Legend of Dragoon. Its 4 CDs long, that shocked me. I figured they'd be full of movies or something since its an RPG. We'll I was pleasently surprised that I spent about 18 hours on just disk 1. Since I don't play every day for a few hours, that's a good amount of entertainment value. Especially since I have only been on disk two for a total of 2 hours (game time).

I kinda cheated though. I went online cuz I got stuck, then I saw all the stuff I missed. I'm not going to start over from the beginning, but it's kinda a bummer. Oh well. I've found the game isn't really too hard actually. I've had 2 of my 3 characters "die" in a fight and I still won. After the battle they had 1 life point. So I went and got them healed, cheaply, and they were good as new. Not much punishment for dying. Ah well.

It's the story that I like. It's kinda twisted, in the sense that there are many story lines interwoven, with all the characters coming together at different points. Typical of Japanese stories there are some "life lessons" that the characters learn. It's a bit cliche, but I like them anyway. Kinda like me liking Digimon.

yea yea...I like Digimon, so what. it's a good cartoon with good, creative and responsible writers. It's not all about blow this up and blow that up. Though there are certainly plenty of instances when that is going on. But they temper that with heart and love. Anyway...if you watch and really watch, you'll see what I mean. If you think I'm being dumb for liking cartoons...oh well, I'll still watch them! :P
