My final grades are in and I’ve somehow managed to pass every class I enrolled in. You have no idea how happy this makes me. Warcraft 3, Animal Crossing, Metroid Prime, and even this website nearly bore witness to me failing all of my classes. Maybe next quarter I’ll actually put effort into my schooling and explore this crazy thing called studying. Maybe not.

I don’t know what it is about Animal Crossing, but just as I decide the game is nothing but hyper-tedious tasks repeated ad nauseum, I fall in love with the game all over again. I just can’t stop playing while there’s still hundred of items I don’t have, varieties of fruit I haven’t even seen, and dozens of gyroids waiting to fall under my command. I imagine this is the same reason people continue to play an MMORPG, no matter how boring and repetitive it becomes. We’re all greedy fools who want to be the best at everything, even if what we’re being the best as it a redundant video game that somehow manages to stay compelling even after we’ve spend twenty hours hitting rocks with shovels.

Tomorrow I’m going to see The Two Towers. I’m sorry I wasn’t cool enough to the film opening night, or even opening weekend, because it means that tomorrow you’re going to have to put up with me repeating things you’ve been reading on other sites for nearly a week. Joy.
