GTA: Vice City in the hizouse.. Any preliminary thoughts from our resident ga(y)mers? So far I’m pretty overwhelmed by the array of options. But then again, I’ve only played it once, as since yesterday was Denver’s first real snow of the season and the city more or less shut down, at least during rush hour, effectively delaying my receipt of aforementioned game.

Bad Business
So, this asshole bought my G4 Laptop on eBay and did not follow thorugh on his purchase.
Denver being the small business circle it is I hope that anyone reading this website will not do business with Aspen Business Group. He is a person whos word doesnt mean shit.
If you feel like telling him what a cocksucker he is, feel free to knock on his door and chat with him.
I hope his karma points help him fall into oncoming traffic.
Updates
So work’s been going really well, which is the reason for the obvious lack of activity here. I’ll be surprised if anyone actually checks here anymore. If you do, the chances are that I know you personally.
Anyway, just a heads up. I’ll be out of the state this weekend, as my cousin is playing for ASU in Arizona, and we’re meeting some other family members there for a rootin’ good time. I’m planning on using the 2 14 hour drives in 4 days to catch up on some much-needed sleep, hopefully resulting in my not using phrases such as ‘”rootin’ good time.” My lovely iPod will be keeping me company, my only concern being that 5GB of music won’t be enough.
Some random thoughts:
Do MS ‘converts’ get subjected to the guilt that Catholic ones do?
While both Apple’s “switchers” and Microsoft’s “convert” are both unequivocal lovers of their new computers, Apple’s “switchers” tend to be plain spoken. By contrast, Microsoft’s “convert” sounds a bit like Microsoft’s own marketing department.
I won’t even begin to count the ways in which Microsoft has copied Apple. Suffice it to say the list is very long and is beyond the scope of this post. But a Mac to Windows switch ad, hosted on Microsoft’s own site? Jeebus. Let’s not miss fact that everything touted in the (now taken-down) “ad” as a Windows advantage over Mac exist currently for us. And most of those features were Mac-first. And MS is simultaneously running Office for Mac ads as well. Sounds a bit like someone’s got things confused over there. Even the photo of the woman in question was confessed to be stock.
(Twenty) Three Things…
1) I’m officially 23 today. I have the pangs of age more than I ever have in the past. Why? Because for the big, parentally-funded birthday present, I asked for a mattress. Not a DVD. Not an XBox. Not even a hooker. I asked for something painfully useful, and thusly, somewhat mature. Oh well. The older I get, the sooner I can become Crotchety(tm)!
2) Go see Miyazaki’s “new” film Spirited Away. Miyazaki and Studio Ghibli are international treasures. Their animation is rivaled only by Pixar, and the human race is better for having them. Spirited Away is an odd film. Like free jazz, or 7/4 time, many can appreciate, but few will actually like. Wipe Princess Mononoke and all of their previous work from your mind before entering. It is a very amazing, and very Japanese film.
3) On November 17th, at the Wiltern in Los Angeles, comedy Ragnarok shall commence. The Clash of the Titans features Triumph the Insult Comic Dog, Janeane Garafalo, Mr. Show featuring Bob and David, and the Kids in the Hall. I have my tickets. This is a once in a blue moon, for-charity event. Good stuff.
Life is grand.
