While I was having lunch, I stumbled upon a kickboxing match.
I don't remember the names of the fighters, but one of them was close to James as far as stats go. I was told that James is all leg, and I can see why now. These kickboxers were practically all leg as well. Go figure since they can TKO a match using their feet as well as their fists. And damn are they lean!
I almost got wood watching the match.

Hmm.. Interesting.
I just learned that the .hack series is not only a television series, but a story told over the three main Japanese "storytellers."
The first is the television series. The second is in the OAV or Original Animated Video. Think of an OAV like a direct-to-video release, only with a higher quality standard that what we put out on domestic direct-to-video releases. The third is in the .hack video game for the PS2, which is being called a massively multi-player online RPG you play offline. If I confused you just then, don't worry about it.
Boy, and I thought Pokemon had some great marketing tie-ins.

Starting February 13, 2003, listeners of Personal Broadcasts will need to log in to listen.
Great, you mean I have to log in now to listen to my stations?
Good thing I can have them e-mail me my password. I kind of forgot it.

From boogle.com : google with quotes:
Technology is dominated by two types of people: those who understand what they do not manage, and those who manage what they do not understand.
So there are people that work around technology but don't have a single clue as to why it works or how it works, they just know that it does sometimes and doesn't other times. And there are those that know what makes it go tick that don't really have any kind of contact near the technology that they know about.
So which am I?

I've got to a point with Rhapsody and Final Fantasy Tactics where it's begining to be like a PokeRPG. What I mean by that is that they are starting to be like Pokemon. Like the Pokemon games I have (and I have the first five), after you finish the main goal, you're left with nothing more to do than to level up among other things. Final Fantasy Tactics does a good job with this annoiance because I still have several jobs left to open as well as some choice training involving a certain spell (namely Zodiac). Rhapsody, on the other, is more along the lines of "Okay, once I get this attack, I can stop training." cause the battle system is just way too easy.
Both have caused me to go back to DDR.
I don't know what the deal is, but I found it more enjoyable to do the whole PokeRPG thing with them after a good game of DDR. It makes this annoying side of it more enjoyable.
Speacking of Pokemon, I got to remember to delete the GameBoy cartrage games that I have saved as well as some choice Pokemon in my Pokemon Stadium game. Not the rare ones, of course. Just all the Mewtwos I've messed up on, and maybe even some others. Maybe the Surfing Pikachu, but definately not the Amnisia Pysduck. Wait, did I earn that one yet? I know I haven't earned any of the other ones in the Pokemon Stadium 2 game I have since I haven't played that version as much as the first one. I don't know, I can't remember. All I know is that I'm not deleteing the N64 cartrages.

I watched .hack//sign toady.
The reviews are right. It does start out slow. Still, it interests me. The kid looks to be trapped in one of those RPGs that take place in a very mideval society. You know, kind of like RuneScape. I loved that stupid cow that the main guy was riding on. It just kept bumping into the wall with no sense of direction what so every!
The one thing I didn't get was at the end. Is this online computer game killing people? It showed this Japanese apartment building with EMTs and police outside all panicing as a little girl laid on the floor looking like she was murdered. Naturally, they edited out the blood if there was any (as well with some other things), but you can tell that she didn't just pass out due to exhaustion or playing the game too long.

I think I found something that could be useful to me if I ever shop online at Lands' End.
Meet my virtual model!
Yes, I signed up for another stupid account, this time at My Virtual Model. Hey, I thought it would be fun! It's not like I'm cloning myself or anything.

The Chinese Year of the Sheep is upon us.
According to this Feng Shui book of my mothers, if I read it right, this year is for planing not only for our finacial futures, but our funimental future as well. A year of thinking and ploting as to how we are going to head into the next year to make it better for ourselves and our families.
The ironic thing is the year after that is the Year of the Monkey where plans don't go as planed. I wonder if that means I should plan to get the reverse result that way i can cancel out the effects of the monkey. Nah, that's thinking too hard and way too much work. If plans go screwy, the best thing to do is just deal with them.
If you are wondering, I was born in the year of the Pig.
