Unable to sleep

Well, I can't get to bed. Again. The other night/day, I was up until 8:15! Isn't that ridiculous? My plan was to wke up again before noon, depriving myself of sleep all day, then going to bed at midnight. While I did get to sleep earlier than usual, I still managed to wake up in the afternoon! This is really pissing me off. Luckily, my other exam is in the afternoon rather than morning, so I don't think I'll be terribly affected. It'll still be a massive pain to get up for the plane ride home though. On second thought, since my flight is at 8:40...I'll have to be in the airport an hour early, and the transport will be here an hour and a half before that...looks like I'll just be staying up until 6 for the flight. I guess I'll nod off for an hour here or there on the way home, then get a nice sleep in my own bed.

I'm looking forward to seeing everyone back home, though it seems people will be unavailable at times due to different trips. Looks like I'll get to see everyone sometime though, so that's good. I plan to bring Fluxx and Apples to Apples home, since they're the only good games I can fit in my luggage feasibly.

The rest of today looks as though it will be a pain in the neck. I was hoping to be in bed by 3 at the latest (it's 6 now), because I am going to some office hours for my next exam at noon, followed by a euchre exec meeting at 3, and I plan to make lunch before all this happens as well.

It seems as though every time I make a post lately, it's about video games. On that note, I haven't yet decided if I am going to try to beat Chrono Cross or Dragon Quest 7 while I'm at home (I'm going to bring my old PS2 back for the month). I think I'll just make a snap decision and play whichever I feel, but I should keep in mind that my old PS2 acts up on burned games (of which DQ7 is one, and CC is not).

I beat The Legend of Zelda: The Minish Cap the other day. I got slaughtered the first few tried on the final boss, so spent some time collecting heart pieces, skills, and the last bottle. When I tried next, I didn't need to use any of my potions! Yay for me.

I sort of went hog wild with snacks today. I realize I'm going home in a few days, but still bought a bag of chips, box of cookies, and a frozen cream pie, in addition to the half box of cookies I already have. I think I'm going to have to work double time on the snacks this week...poor me.

I think the sun is starting to come up. What a pity.

Unfortunately, besides video games, not much of interest has popped up in my life, so I'm going to kill the post here.

This is my main offender

Hm, how to sum up last weekend's wedding...I went to the casino and won $170, had cheesecake three days in a row, enjoyed seeing some family, and was breathtaken by the Detroit skyline at night.

I bought Fluxx a while ago. Fun game, but I think it's getting borderline stale already.

I've been putting off this comparison assignment for a while now. After getting back my 60% process paper, I feel like anything I hand in to Paci won't ever be good enough, so what's the point in trying?

I finally bought my PS2 the other day. I could justify it without it being on sale because of my casino winnings and a Future Shop gift card from my sister for my birthday. I've finally got it tricked out to play burned games really easily, but it took a lot more effort than it should have. The kit I got was subpar. The instructions online were just plain wrong. I replaced one of the pieces with a self-moulded twist tie. I'm convinced I could have done the entire thing with just twist ties. I also had to glue one piece in for it to stay in the spot in which it needed to stay, so my console is permanently modded. So much for the warranty; I certainly hope it lasts the year. On the bright side, it works marvelously. It's much quieter than my old black box.

All weekend, I've had this terribly powerful urge to play Guild Wars. I think once I get my assignment in on Wednesday, I'll go buy it. It's been a while since I treated myself to a new PC game. I'm sure it'll be slightly boring without anyone with which to play it. I'm trying to convince Andrew it's in his best interest to buy it, but $60 takes a lot more convincing than what I've been doing. I suppose eventually I'll get caught up in some guild online or something. Hopefully there's some guild of casual players...I hate jackasses that yell at you for not using the "best" builds or not being able to hotkey like a madman.

I downloaded the new Three Days Grace and Hoobastank albums. They're both pretty good, but it will still take some time for them to grow on me. I'm debating whether or not I should buy one or both of the two Chore albums I can't find any other way. I probably will eventually, but I think I've spent more than enough money on myself lately (at least, I will once I get Guild Wars later this week).

Well, I'm going to make some pancakes for the roommies. Aren't I such a generous person? I think so...
