Mother Nature hates me.

Alright, this is going too far. What the hell did I do to piss her off anyway? I've always been for the environment. I don't think I've destroyed any ecosystems or crashed any oil tankers into Baffin Island. Why then, am I not able to get my nutmeg on and my volley on? Soccer tonight was cancelled not because of heavy rain, lightning, snow, or hurricane winds. No, it seems the last three days of downpour have saturated the fields, which now resemble vast planes of muck with some sporadic grass patches poking up here and there. Bollocks to that mate, I'm going to the bookie's!

So I decided to check out IGN's review of Front Mission 4, which I was actually quite looking forward to. Of course, IGN's reviews have been spotty at best lately, with certain companies beginning to exert their pull on review scores. However, I was surprised to see that it earned a measly 6.8 on their scale. I read on to see if it might be a niche thing that I might enjoy, but the review pretty much tore it down for me. I had planned to pick up FM4, but I've turned my strategy-hungry attention to something a little more interesting.

I'm glad you all like the new look. It seems that I have spurred others into action as well!

Tomorrow night is the CIP banquet at River East Collegiate. I haven't attended since I graduated from it in 1999, so it should be a fun time and a trip down memory lane. I have a few strong ties to the program itself, and I have connections that still may help me down the road. Needless to say, I'm puttin' on the Ritz tomorrow night. Super duper!

I'm off for a little Disgaea now. I at least want to get a start on it tonight...

Just finished reading that review for Disgaea, holy crap does that ever sound cool. If I had a shitload of cash, I'd even pick up a PS2 and buy it. Unfortunately, I have no more cash - in fact I'm minus cash now lol sooo...I'll just play it at your place :D.

Just got around to starting Disgaea tonight. Holy hell, is it ever awesome. It's been a long time since a game made me laugh out loud, but this one sure did it.

B, of course you can play it at my house! When you come to the Peg this summer, there's an open invitation to stay at my place for as long as you need. It'll rock, and give me a live-in buddy to play games with!

Mother Nature is not acting alone...

Ronald McDonald, with the help of cheese soup, is ruining your soccer games from a secret Volkswagon--hidden in the past!
