Excessive

It's really been quite a long time since I've actually sat down and wrote a solid entry; lately it's been a lot of pictures, screenshots and one or two paragraph 'quick entries'. I don't think there's really a specific cause to the lack of content, other than the fact that I haven't been horribly depressed, and when I'm not horribly depressed, the rate at which I update my website goes down, as has been seen in the past. It's actually kind of hard to figure out what to talk about and in what order...

I guess I can start with the metroid craze I've been flung into lately. It all started when I got Metroid: Zero Mission back from Owen a week or two ago, and I started playing through Zero Mission (which is a lot like Super Metroid, except without polish), which then had me thinking of Super Metroid. Later that week, Owen came over again and slept over and started playing Metroid Prime, and I watched and it got me even more excited about the franchise and got me remembering everything I loved about it, and that made me want to play even more. So, I mentioned to Emily that she has to play Super Metroid or she isn't a worthwhile human being, and she agreed, and played, which got me playing... so here I am playing Super Metroid (which I actually just finished today ... see previous entry), Zero Mission AND Prime. So yes, it's safe to say that I'm going Metroid crazy.

Along with Metroid, I've been getting a hankering (yes.. that's a word) to play some of the older classics which make up my entire childhood. Let's see... I've been playing Super Punch Out, Super Mario World, Super Mario Bros 1 and 3, various incarnations of Bomberman and just other random games (like Super Monkey Tennis). These games continue to provide hours of fun which says something about the quality of games during those generations. It fills me with not only nostalgia, but it also gives me a new perspective on the games I spent my childhood mastering, and it's fun to see them again from a more experienced perspective. Of course, watching Emily experience these games is also a lot of fun :)

So based on the last two paragraphs you can basically tell what I've been up to for the last little while. I also had a job interview earlier in the week, at Stream, and it went so well that there's no doubt in my mind that I'll get it, but I guess you never know. It could be anywhere between today and two weeks before I find out if I got it or not, which is retarded but hey, what to expect, an ounce of respect? Nope. I also want to give out resumes starting Monday morning/afternoon, as well as apply to a bunch of places online (as I've been doing but my Mom emailed me some more) and I just hate not working... but hopefully Stream gives me a call soon.

The lithium started out amazing, I drank whiskey, so it shot to god awful, and not it's gone back up to about good. So it's not as good as it was the first few days, but it's having a noticeable affect on my behavior, as Emily, I'm sure, could attest too. I've felt more... awake, energized, light... I feel like I could accomplish something if I wanted... and I have. Since I decided to feel better, Emily and I have significantly improved the tidiness of the place... and while it's not completely finished, it's much better and more comfortable than it was, and the reason it got to so messy, was because when I get depressed, I don't clean, or anything, so that's an easy enough scapegoat. It's coming along though, and that's what's important. The kitchen is great and spotless and I love that because I do all the cooking, as I'm super excellent as cooking. I actually have room to chop and dice things!

Carol Nelson is the single greatest human being to ever walk the earth, past, present or future. I've never ever met anyone in my life as genuinly kind hearted and selfless as her, nor have I ever met anyone who genuinly means well on all occasions, under any circumstance. She deserves thousands of dollars, medals, thropheys and statues in her honour, because you'll never find a person more worthy of such honouring. There is no greater person in the world.

I feel fresh and new. I feel like I have a fresh start to stop fucking up. I feel free when I play my games now, and when I cook things, and when I go to sleep. It feels great. I have to make a doctors appointment for next week, and get more blood taken (I need blood tests each month to check for lethal lithium serem levels) and to talk about the effects of the pills and what they're doing, if he should increase the dosage or change it completely. I'm looking forward to it, because with each appointment, my life seems to be improving. and if you think you're beyond help, well then you're just a fucking idiot. Get over yourself and actually make an effort to feel better and stop complaining about something you can actually control.

So today is SNL.. but there are some fun things on TV first, so I'm having a night full of TV and having a nice supper full of substance and yum factors. First is Twister, which I haven't seen in years, so that should be fun, and then at 10 it's Mythbusters, which is the god of all TV, and then after that its time for SNL, which I lurve of course. Sounds like a relaxing night no? And I bought pork center chops because they were half the cost of chicken and looked really tender and good, so I'm trying to figure out a way to cook them, because I've never cooked pork before, and I think I've settled on roasting them in the roasting pan, along with a bit of water for moister and basting, and some potatos, onion, cauliflower and broccoli. Mmmm.. good no? There are a few other ways I could do it, but I think that way is going to taste great.

I think that's about it for my first real entry in awhile. I'm doing okay, and I'm eating well and TV is amusing me, as well as a huge ass mother fuckin' library of ROMS:

Nintendo ROM List
Super Nintendo ROM List

so as you can see, I've been kept busy for the last little while. By the way, if anyone needs any of those roms listed, be sure to drop me a line and let me know, I'm sure I can make a few downloadable :) Farewell for now fans.
