Okay, it's rare journal entry time.

Damn, the New Year is starting off slow and as far as I'm
concerned it can just STAY that way. I STILL CAN'T FIND
THE MOTIVATION TO DRAW AGAIN. Really it's like aliens
sucked out my brain and turned me into this mindless
android that only works, watches things (movies and
anime), and play games.

I've just finished Vampire Knight Guilty (thank GOD to a
degree as I've seen better shows featuring Vampires with
better endings that don't lend to my depression). Meanwhile
a certain group is taking it's sweet time fansubbing the
latest episode of Mobile Suit Gundam 00 and I'm going
to go ballistic if it's not done after I finish this journal entry.
Then I've still got to watch 3 more installations of Kara no
Kyoukai (because I love TYPE-MOON so much) and I'm
about to check out the season opener for Tower of Druaga
-Sword of Uruk-.

Nothing has changed on the gaming front of the battlefield.
Just a bunch of new faces to replace the one's I've conquered.

Several DOZEN titles across my Playstation 2
(pretty much took care of all my fighting games, though).
Three on my Playstation 3.
Five titles on my PSP (Sony has taken over my life).
WOW...Nothing on my Nintendo Wii
(not including the Virtual Console games I've downloaded).
Nintendo DS Lite; just two games.

This is what happens when you buy at least one to three
games for at least every ONE that you beat if even that.
Which brings me to my splurging:

Let see, there was the 40x24 Cammy poster that ran me
$9.99 plus the $11.69 for S&H.If that weren't bad enough
it's suddenly as if I had to have more Street Fighter in my
life (probably from all those matches I played of Super Street
Fighter II Turbo HD REMIX). So, the next thing I did was
ran over to Capcom's online store and bought a limited
edition Chun Li PVC that I've been eyeing for months now
(there only 700 in existence and I WANTED ONE DAMMIT)
that costed another $89.99 with free S&H but still damn
close to $100.00. But wait it gets better then I saw I nice
looking Ibuki PVC (now my current avatar here) that I felt
would go nice with my Chun Li since I couldn't find one
of Cammy that I actually liked. Ibuki ran me another $99.95
plus $13.95 S&H. Last but not least there was Arcueid Brunestud.
I don't even remember how I even came to desire to have
this one but she was probably the damned figure that
started my whole PVC disease. In fact now that I think back
on it it probably started when I watched the first installation
of Kara no Kyoukai.

Now...this covers my expenses as far as 'stuff I intend to keep'
is concerned. But another thing I have to give credit to was the
little ' party ' I attended last weekend where I spent $5 on re-
imbursement for money spent on liquor plus another $20 that
I decided to offer up for even more alcohol later that night.

Then yesterday I had to send my Chun Li PVC (#401 out of 700
that exist) back to a branch of Capcom located in San Mateo
because the ribbons that are supposed to hang from and be
attached to her brocades WEREN'T attached. Initially I thought
that they were detachable but upon a second inspection I
realized that sometime between leaving the Capcom Store
and arriving at my doorstep, Chun Li suffered some damaged.
Good news is that my warranty just for buying it covers such
incidents. But bad news is that I have to wait for it once again
and I PAID ANOTHER $17.00+ TO HAVE IT DELIVERED BACK
TO CAPCOM FOR NEXT DAY EXPRESS MAIL S&H CHARGES!!

Oh well, at least Ibuki arrived the next day and I've got the
Cammy poster the day before with the Chun Li PVC. Arcueid
Brunestud's whereabouts remain unknown.

Combine that with rent, some bills, haircut, and new work uniform
and you've got instant depression.

Or maybe it's just the realization that once again my two days
off are almost over at this point and I suddenly feel the need
to ramble about it somewhere THAT IS NOT MYSPACE.
