halloween
today sucks. i am definitely down from this last weekend's excessive partying, and it is taking its toll on my brain. my body actually feels better today.. my tongue isn't sore anymore and the bodyaches have gone away. but my mind hurts much much more. i'm sure, due to the lack of seratonin. i've been taking 5htp religiously since sunday, but i can't really tell if it's making any kind of difference. stupid brain and its stupid slow regeneration of neurotransmitters.
of course, i have 2 exams next week .. one in finance and the other in emerging technologies. the ET one will just be an annoyance, as the prof likes to make the exam questions based strictly from the book. yeah.. no logic here.. just memorization of syntax and stupid shit. god. and the finance exam i'll probably fail.. and if i do, i will definitely fail the class, which i don't want to do cause i've never failed a class yet in college.
i am super depressed. yeah.. i know it's just the post-e crash, but i feel like i'm at an all time low because i have nothing.. and i mean absolutely nothing to look forward to. i guess thanksgiving weekend.. dank food and relaxing time to play vgames. speaking of which, i picked up final fantasy xii last night at midnight cause i had a preorder. when i showed up at eb, there was surprisingly a line outside the store, because they were only letting about 7-8 people in at a time. those were some nerdy ass kids (myself included).. one guy was dressed like a gangster (matching track suit and bling diamond stud earrings that were clearly fake) had a psp on a chain around his neck playing lil jon music videos. and there were many token white nerd kids. and 2 females.. one of which was buying the game for herself, and the other was there with her asian boyfriend. oddly enough, i was the only person that purchased a regular version of the game.. and not the collector's edition. i just feel that a metal case and a behind the scenes featurette isn't worth an extra $10. oh.. and i put down some cash for a preorder of gears of war. mmm.
i started playing ffxii earlier today. for a ps2 game, goddamn, it looks beautiful. i hooked my ps2 up to my lcd hdtv, and enabled widescreen (16:9) in the game menu. stunning. the only thing is that it is somewhat blurry.. probably due to the fact that my ps2 is hooked up via standard rca. i was thinking about getting a component cable for it, but decided against it since my hdtv only has 1 component connection and it's already being used by my xbox 360. fuck it.. i'll just play ffxii on ps3 (hdmi) eventually.. someday.
