I went to Wal-Mart and purchased the Kingdom Hearts II. I was going to buy the first one too (since I never actually beat it and would like to), but they didn’t have it. So I’ll just head straight to the second one…it’s okay. I watched the end video when Kyle beat it. :)

I expected Wal-Mart to be someone people-free. I though that everyone would either be drinking on the eve of the bridge run…or at home resting up for it. Little had I realized that a water main burst somewhere leaving most of Charleston (myself included) without water.

Whenever there’s a big tornado, the news always finds the trashiest white people from the ghetto-est trailer park around to talk about how they “jus’ never axpected that this could happen to us! Ma and I `ve lived here since we we were just brother and sister!” and all that, right?

Well, all of those people (in this county, at least) were at Wal-Mart tonight to load up on bottled water. It was a madhouse, full of folks whose family tree hasn’t split in centuries; and they were all incredibly panicked that they WEREN’T GOING TO HAVE ANY WATER. For most of them, it seemed about time for their weekly shower, so I can understand their concern.

I didn’t buy any water, though. For one thing, I already have some. For another, I see no reason to panic about things like that. Besides, if worse comes to worse and everyone runs out of bottled water, I’ll just get my dad to drive me down some. No worries.

Though the dregs of caucasianness were not the highlight of the evening. When I was walking in, the guy in front of me (he was one of the aforementioned people, btw) asked the greeter what time the store closed. It was as if he had never been to a Super Wal-Mart before. But…he had a Southern accent, so I find that impossible to believe. I don’t understand it: where are these people hiding?

Anyway, I’m going to go play my game now.

If you can’t tell by the astounding number of posts to this blog, I’m incredibly bored.

It seems strange to be bored on a Friday night in Charleston; it’s downright unnatural. Yet, that’s the way things have played out.

I’ve honestly been bored enough that I just spent a significant amount of time playing around on MySpace. !!!

But I also played around on Voltron.com and feel the need to point you to Voltron DVD where it was announced that Voltron will be appearing on DVD this fall! And because I’m a fan of Voltron, I already have the built in need to join them all together.

So, yes. I can’t wait for that.

Ah, screw this blog thing. I’m going to Wal-Mart.

Yesterday, at lunch, the conversation turned to MySpace (I really don’t remember why). The only real observation I had to make was, “I hate MySpace! I have friends who use it, and occasionally, they send me links there; but whenever I go there, some video starts playing and then my browser crashes.”

One of my co-workers joined the table at this point of the conversation. All he heard was, “…some video starts playing and then my browser crashes.”

He says, “You must be talking about MySpace.

I just canceled my cable television service. With the availability of the shows I enjoy on DVD, it was just an extreme waste of money. I’ve heard horror stories about how difficult it is to cancel cable, so I feel it necessary to publicly express how easy it was with Comcast. I spent five minutes on the phone, and that includes hold time. Good work, Comcast!

Now, if only I can get my apartment complex to fix my air conditioner. When I called the office yesterday, the woman who answered tried to convince me that I don’t know how to run an air conditioner. This is a problem that must be dealt with quickly for Charleston is going to become an inferno before the month is out.

I just looked up at one of my bookshelves and noticed my copy of Star Trek The Next Generation: Technical Manual.

I was just a dork in high school.

Welp, I’m off to play DDR and watch Buffy! Laters!

In a bid to pretend that I have content by stealing other people’s, I have two links for you today.

Meet A Black Person: Having never visited Aspen, I had no idea that it’s as white as a virgin snow. These guy capitalizes on that for humorous effect.

Don’t Shoot the Puppy: Enjoy this flash game where the objective is to not shoot the puppy. Moving your mouse or clicking will shoot the puppy, so win by doing nothing. It would probably seem very Zen except for the whole shooting the puppy thing.
