Right now it&#8217;s pretty sparse, but I&#8217;ll work on it some more this weekend, probably.  I&#8217;d been meaning to do it for a while, but J&#8217;s finally putting one together got me to do it.<\/p>\n<p>Picked up Princess Knight to start reading again yesterday (the bilingual version).  The whole story is really.. strange.  I like it, but it&#8217;s strange.  I mean, you have all of this Christian blither, with pictures of Jesus and angels, and then suddenly Venus is wandering around and the Christian god is her father. Mmmkay.  The Japanese have some very good crack.<\/p>\n<p>I was also playing this Insaniquarium game for a while, but I ran out of new animals to collect, so I got tired of it.  I have never been able to see the point of playing a game for the score.  Who cares about something as ephemeral as your score?  I want to get stuff.  I want to see what happens next.  I think this is why I tend to get tired of puzzle games &#8212; unless there&#8217;s a change, or you unlock things with new levels, you don&#8217;t get that.  It&#8217;s also why I&#8217;m not as fond of fighting games either.  There are some where there&#8217;s a lot of stuff to get, like items, or new characters, or new outfits, and those are good for as long as the new stuff lasts.  But then I don&#8217;t want to play it anymore.<\/p>\n<p>The need to see what happens next is also why I can&#8217;t put books down, can&#8217;t stop watching a television show (even when it sucks), and can&#8217;t stop RPing even when I&#8217;m tired.  Usually it gets to the point where I&#8217;m absolutely miserable and not enjoying myself at all, but I&#8217;m still reading along &#8212; this can go on for quite a while before it dawns on me that I should STOP.  It&#8217;s not a good thing.<\/p>\n<p>Anyway, it didn&#8217;t get quite that bad last night, so I only got up through part of volume 3 before I went to sleep.  Will maybe finish tonight.<\/p>\n<div style=\"clear:both; padding-bottom: 0.25em;\"><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I&#8217;m in the process of putting together a for sale list.
