I've been watching my mom's cousin's dog Reilly since Sunday night. She's the terrieriest terrier I've ever been around...and I thought my dogs were crazy.

Anyway, I'm not at my computer so I haven't been doing all the usual research and such, so I don't have any fun news. I have played all the way through "God of War" now, and it was very well done. I'm not sure if it was short or I just played it constantly because I'm in a house all alone and wasting time is acceptable, but I rented it last Thursday and finished it yesterday. One of the main developers said something about wanting to make the player feel like he had tons of power and could really punish the enemies, and this was accomplished wonderfully. Since it was a short one, I'd say definitely rent it if you're into that sort of thing...you know, killing stuff.

Also, I'm halfway through "Wolf's Rain" now and I do love it. It's got a great feel to it, and I always want to watch more. It does not, however, inspire a desire to cheat on anyone (Katy) even though I love it so. The only gripe is that the semi-inexpensive box-set I bought from Anime Toys (no shipping, either) has a subtitle translation that is RIDICULOUS!!! I just watched an episode with no more than two, yes TWO correct sentences in the subtitling. Very disappointing. But when I'm rich I can buy the real thing and not worry about it. Someone's going to get a present in a couple years...a present with bad subtitles. Otherwise it's awesome. Definitely worth checking out for fans of any anime.

Finally I wanted to say thank you to those of you who have been supporting this silly little blog. Katy (Kate) has been kind enough to mention it in her livejournal which will hopefully really get the ball rolling. Isn't technology exciting? Also a quick thanks to Dan, Adam (aka mind reader, aka justice police, aka my psycho brother), Sara, and Rebecca (hasn't posted anything, but at least she responded to my email about the blog). Posts in my blog make me feel like this isn't all for nothing and it gives me a great sense of joy.

PS - I'm going to Bistro Wasabi tonight for dinner. It's Katy's Birthday tomorrow (and her sister Sara's) so I'm taking her out tonight. Hey...maybe we'll call Sara too. Katy only wants the magnificent Maguro Salad, but we're also getting the Crab Rangoon Roll. If you like crab rangoon you'll love this maki. It's not on the menu but if you ask for it we'll know what you mean.
