i’ve got a lot of things that i want to either buy or put on my christmas list. a few cd’s and lots o’ video games.

dmb.live – 12.8.1998
u2 – how to disarm…

grand theft auto – san andreas (picking it up tuesday)
megaman x command mission
megaman x 8
outlaw golf 2
kingdom hearts 2 (when it finally comes out)
xenosaga
xenosaga 2 (if i buy and like 1)
metal gear solid 3 – snake eater
spy v. spy
metal slug 4&5
star ocean – till the end of time
final fantasy XII
final fantasy XIII
final fantasy VII – advent children
.hack 2/3/4 (assuming that i ever finish 1 and want to continue on.)

all of which is more or less slated for the next six months, except for the FF games and kingdom hearts. the FF games dont have solid release dates yet, and kingdom hearts (which i’m very excited for) isnt until september of next year.

i’m really hoping that date moves up some, by the way, but i’m not holding my breath. i’ll just have to keep myself occupied with all the other stuff till it comes out. i’m also relatively sure that i’m forgetting about some stuff i wanted to pick up that is out soon, but i cant remember what.

so all of this election nonsense is over in a week. i’m pretty excited, not because i’m that interested in politics, but because i’m sick and fucking tired of mudslinging bullshit.

there’s really been some dirty pool this year, and it’s over in a week. i’m more confident than i’ve ever been that kerry will win, but that’s not saying much, because i’ve never really been too confident in his victory.

by the way, check it out before it goes away (i dont know that the site will stay up after the election):

for those too lazy to decode that, it says ‘john kerry is a douchebag but im voting for him anyway.’

speaking of politics, my dad the devout catholic got up and left in the middle of church services this weekend. i’m so proud of him. the priest started reading a letter from the archbishop, and my dad got up from the third row and walked out of church, right down the middle of the aisle.

the letter basically said that catholics should evaluate candidates on the issues and pick the person who they believe in.

then the letter went on to say that with some issues (such as gay rights, abortion, and stem cell research) there is no discretion allowed and you must vote in according to the catholic faith because it’s a morality issue. and morality is defined by the church.

so basically, ‘vote bush or you’re sinning and going to hell.’

that’s right up there with the church excommunicating kerry because he’s pro-choice and supports said issues.

hey, why don’t we just drag him into the town square and stone him? flogging, maybe?

christ. at least it’s over in a week.

so the new job is pretty sweet. i could get used to this whole accounting/finance thing. bean counting could really wind up being a good thing for me. we shall see, i’m only two months in, but it’s really nice coming home at the end of the night not hating my job.

plus, the money’s not too shabby either, considering that i work for a not-for-profit organization. the benifits package is also pretty nice.

all in all, the job is looking like it’s going to be about a 100% raise over what i made in my old position. it’s only a three dollar an hour raise, but considering that i’ll be working 40 hours a week for 52 weeks a year, it’s about twice money a year, considering that before i worked like 25 or 30 hours a week during the busy season and maybe 10 during the slow season. it’ll be really sweet getting paychecks in janurary.

i worked a day this weekend back at my old place, and i definitely don’t miss it. at all.

anyhow, enough about that.

the following are PSA’s have been funded by, well, me.

1) FIREFOX IS GREAT. ditch internet explorer and get firefox. NOW.

2) NBC SUCKS for pulling last comic standing on the last show..

3) People spamming my website with advertising comments should die.

4) In the words of james taylor, if you don’t know who to vote for, read up on the candidates, and PICK THE SMART ONE.

that’s all i have for now.
