Empty orchestra

I was surfing around eBay for a few moments a little while ago. I was searching half-heartedly for a copy of Karaoke Revolution. Neither Futureshop or Best Buy stocked the game anymore, so I resorted to the auction site. I mean, that where I was able to pick up a copy of Katamari Damacy. Anyway, I was disappointed to see that most listings had a ridiculous shipping fee to Canada, so I put off getting the game.

I looked around some more and found out that a new KR game had come out. Thing is, it’s a special American Idol version. Hum. Well, I decided to go fetch it anyway since it was a chance to see what KR is like, and to get a microphone for my PS2. Well, I can unashamedly say that I enjoy the game. Even though the electronic versions of the judges constantly berate my bad singing, it’s still entertaining nonetheless. I have a quibble about the game though: the song list seems a bit limited. I guess it’s longer (40 songs) than some of the older KR games, but, do I really want to attempt to sing the song that Taylor fucking Hicks sang? Not really.

Anyway, since I enjoyed the game, I ewnt back to eBay and acquired a copy of Karaoke Revolution Party. The song list seems a bit more agreeable, so, I’m looking forward to putting my vocal chords to the test.

“Man…I’m with my people!”

It seems that every time pay day comes around I get this sudden urge to spend on frivolous things. Today being Halloween, I wanted to waste some time wandering around downtown. I didn’t want to drive home and have to make an effort to dodge groups of kiddies. Anyway, I dropped by HMV and spotted Futurama Volumes 3 and 4 for $25 each. Seeing as how they’re usually $35-45, I picked them up. Also, since today was the sale date for Final Fantasy XII, I went hunting for it. Best Buy didn’t have it out, but EB Games did. I waited in line for 20-30 minutes to buy my copy. Craziness! While in line, I sort of joined in a conversation about the Final Fantasy series. In the back of my mind, I was thinking “you are such a geek!” In another part of my mind I was thinking, “Man…I’m with my people!”

So, I’m sitting here at home with a whole lot of media to go through. That ought to keep me busy for a long while. Though, I really don’t want to start FFXII until I finish Dragon Quest VIII…and I figure that’s another 15 hours.

I’m such a geek.
