fuzmeister: Have Things Really Changed All The Much

---

Amusing Toys 'R' Us commercial from the 1980s (?) that sort of sums up the predicament that many people are having with their Wii search.

In other news, I'm listening to the Beatles "Love" album which is a disc of remixes used in the Las Vegas Cirque De Crap show. I hate that French performance art bullshit, but I do love the Beatles. It's VERY well-produced and doesn't really harm the original material in anyway or slander the greatness of the songs. I recommend it to any Beatles fan who has extensively heard their catalog and could pull apart some of the stuff. Imagine Strawberry Fields Forever containing the outro chant from Hey Jude - And, yes, it works!

Mood: Artistic
Music: The Beatles - Within You Without You / Tomorrow Never Knows
Listening Aid: LSD ... (Just kidding)

fuzmeister: First Impressions of Zelda Twilight Princess

---

I have five and one quarter hours logged into Zelda: Twilight Princess. That's from tonight alone. Now - you might wonder - Steve, how far are you in that game if you played it five hours thus far?

I only just beat the first dungeon in the game.

My gosh - I loved Wind Waker, but this feels like Zelda on steroids. Even the first dungeon was impressive - good puzzles, two mini-ish bosses, and one end boss.

I wasn't impressed with Link's wolf form too much yet, but maybe that will change. I guess there's just something about running around in green tights that makes the game more fun for me.

Mood: Impressed So Far
Music: Wii Menu Ambience

fuzmeister: Talk About Writer's Block

---

So tonight I found out I have a four page paper due tomorrow morning at eleven. Jeez. It sucks that I have to graduate - I sure am going to miss writing pointless analysis papers of plays by 17^th century Spanish writers. Tirso De Molina, if you can read this from the great beyond - you're an asshole.

In other news, Kate picked up Zelda: Twilight Princess on Black Friday... tomorrow I'm going to begin the adventure. So stoked.

Mood: Ughh...
Music: The Guess Who - These Eyes

fuzmeister: Attack of the Police Officers at Circuit City While The News Broadcasts The Chaos or How I Saved Christmas From Blind Commercialism

---

Today I was disgusted by the influx of potential customers at Circuit City at 5 am. I got up at 3:40 am hoping to maybe get some cheap CDs or something (I never even learned if the CDs were on sale as in previous years). This is about seven hours or so before I normally get up in the morning, so I was pretty cracked out due to the lack of sleep. I have to mention that I'm in Lancaster, PA right now during the holiday and this area is misconstrued as being only farmland or only having Amish people (a stereotype strengthed by the Amish school thing earlier this fall).

There were probably over 1,000 people lined up stretched around the building. I must be an idiot, but I wasn't sure why - the circular didn't even look that good. Regardless of how many people were there exactly, it was busier than any other black friday experience. I don't see a problem with commercialism or capitalism, but the rush of people into the store prevented anyone from having any kind of positive experience. I was sickening to see people behave like animals for the latest Adam Sandler at a super cheap price when it will be in the bargain bin anyway in a few weeks.

I guess I just don't get the capitalist model. Right now, Wii is selling at obscene prices on eBay, but in a few months, it won't be much more than the MSRP. Why? Does time move that much slower for everyone? It moves pretty steadily for me.

Mood: Awake
