The Reason For The Season

Tinfoil – Limblifter

Reading week has been a blast. Here are some highlights:

* I’ve managed to log wake-up times of 3:30 and 4:30 in the afternoon. Barring some sort of illness, I may never top that.

* I’ve spent almost the entire last two days downtown. Ugh. But a good Ugh. Yesterday, I thought we’d walked a lot going to Rainbow and back from Jess’ residence to watch Hitch. It didn’t compare to today, when I was hanging out with Erica downtown. I was trying to guide her back to campus from around Dundas station and obviously, we got lost. It was a learning experience, but hell, what isn’t? I also took her to the Hairy Tarantula, which may have been a bad idea. She called it one of the seediest places she’d been to, which I found odd for someone who goes to so many different venues in pursuit of independent rock music. Then again, I’m not saying she was wrong, heh heh. I only hung around long enough to get a membership, finish up my collection of Preacher trades with Vol. 4: Ancient History and see Erica get murdered by the owner’s cat. It was a good day. Welcome to my world!

* Over the last three or four days, on my SNES emulator, I’ve finished ActRaiser and Vegas Stakes. I’m playing so much emulator to avoid playing ESPN NFL 2k5 too much on my X-Box, but it doesn’t seem to be working out as I had planned. My dad says I may have addictive behaviour. Well I’ll show him by beating Arkanoid: Doh It Again (not a typo) next! Take that, old man!

One last bit. When I beat a video game, I always like to get the “Special Thanks to (insert random names)…AND YOU” ending. At the end of Vegas Stakes, your reward is you become a millionaire and get to fill in this response:

I WANT TO __________

Seeing as how “have an orgy with Jessica Alba, Christina Milian, Karina Huber and Eva Longoria” didn’t fit, I laboured over what to put, I finally just wrote:

BE HAPPY

After the credits finished, the screen went black and this text appears on my screen that read:

YOU WILL BE HAPPY

Yeah, I hope so.

PQ:
In our hearts we’re as savage as they are. Indians an’ whites ain’t but two tribes of butchers, fightin’ over a stretch of dirt. What’ll decide it in the end is who’s meanest.
But surely you don’t belive that? If we triumph, it’ll be by God’s will! We stand for decency and civilization! You yourself, sir–You rescued me from five Indians, single-handed and without a thought for your own safety!
I didn’t know you were there. As to decency: I crept up an’ shot them in the back, when they were too damn drunk to fight.
