Summer Just Got Great!

Much to my delight, this summer away from home for a month is just what I needed! My Spanish class is going extremely well (mostly because a lot of it is review and I'm apparently better at the language than I remember), the campus is so much nicer to drive on since it's less crowded, I have the liberty to eat anywhere for lunch (though I split it between cooking chicken sandwiches in my apartment and going to Chipotle), and I get in a solid 2 or so hours of basketball almost every night with a few friends. In short, life is good, because I'm having fun, and I'm not sitting around back home like a worthless sack of dung waiting for something to do.



A little of this almost every other day is bound to either kill you or make your bathroom stink like crazy. But it's soooooooooooo good!

One of the best parts as of late is that I finally got internet in this apartment, so I have more time to waste on YouTube and downloading ROMS of old games forgotten. Can you say reliving the good ol' days with GOLDEN SUN?! Good god, that game and its sequel "The Lost Age" have got to be two of THE best games created EVER! Not like I couldn't do that back home, but somehow, the fact that my life has gotten so much better within only the past few days has made playing video games so much more enjoyable. Although I have to concede that a lot of what inspired me to get back into playing these games is seeing my friend Boltage McGammar do his "Let's Play" videos on Golden Sun (been completed for a while) and Golden Sun: The Lost Age (currently going on).



Pure entertainment genius











If you don't know Bolt, he does a lot of "Let's Play" videos for various games on his YouTube Account. I feel obliged to throw in this little plug for Bolt partially cuz I kind of know him personally (online, but for at least a few years), and because he did the voice of Koffing in Episodes 2 and 3 and the Samurai in Episode 4 of Polkamons. So yeah, little favor in return.

Speaking of which, in case you're wondering (which I'm SURE you are), I can't spend any time recording lines for my videos, because this laptop's internal mic, as well as any other mic I've tried using on this, have all been terrible. This is why I need the money for that Mac. Hopefully those disorganized nut jobs at the school bookstore will call me back soon about the job. I could technically clean out whatever I have right now on the new computer, but leaving myself with absolutely no money at a college campus is probably the dumbest thing I could do at this point.


On a completely different note, Little Kuriboh put out a little 2nd year anniversary video of Yu-gi-oh Abridged on YouTube. He claims this was a rush job, but it's still rather amusing:




To end my string of random tangents, I randomly came across something else on YouTube (in case you haven't realized, I tend to spend a LOT of time on YouTube) that brought back so many fond memories. Remember 90's Nickelodeon? You know, Doug, Hey Arnold, Rocko's Modern Life, and all that good stuff? Someone who apparently also had too much free time put together a compilation of a bunch of old school Nick intros, and I spent those 10 minutes oh so fondly reminiscing. Although I could do without Ren and Stimpy. That show was just stupid and kind of freaked me out.



So yeah, life's pretty good now =)
