I’ve spent most of my time after work packing, but I did read an article about Sony today that raised my ire. Apparently global workforces are a great boon to industry, but if those same workforces import hardware at lowered costs, laws are mysteriously broken. Fancy that. Due to a series of lawsuits filed against Lik Sang, one of the biggest game and hardware importers has been forced out of business by none other than Sony.

Well, Ryan came down for the Chicago Marathon and all he wanted more than anything else was to qualify for the Boston Marathon. In order to do that, he had to run 26 miles in three hours and ten minutes. According to the electronic chip they assigned him, he ran it in three hours and twelve minutes. Even accounting for the extra minute Boston allows, Ryan’s time was still thirteen seconds too long.

It’s not as if I am a bastion of intellectual discourse devoid of base language, so I’ll start off with a hearty stream of rancid and inspired expletives. Fuck you, Dennis Hastert, and every piece of human filth in your general vicinity. This endless partisan bickering and self-righteous indignation is doing more harm to America than any terrorist in the history of mankind could imagine. Where was your fucking vitriol as gang violence, car accidents, and deadly stairwells all conspire against hapless American citizens?

I’ve been a bad boy… I heard of BlueShark GXG pads from MyMyBox last year and been keeping an eye on them for a while. Well, the version 2.0 pads came out recently and I read a few reviews that claim they’re much better than Cobalt Flux pads. I personally can’t wait until it gets here, though the fact it weighs 85 pounds is somewhat frightening. That’s freaking heavy, and it’s made of pure metal: no more wood!

I spent all Saturday packing, and have come to the realization that I have way too many books. So far, I have over 16 file-boxes just to wrangle my excessive book, video-game, and DVD collection. It’s definitely a good thing I’m divesting myself of possessions, because this is getting out of hand. I still have to pack the pantry, the kitchen, and my bedroom, but progress is steady. Sunday has been a laundry extravaganza, as I hauled four loads worth to the laundry-mat five blocks away.
