Another slow gaming week this time around, even with the holiday. Work was busy with the short week; on Thursday I got to show off my new DX GekiFire (page 2) (page 3); and then I spent most of the rest of the weekend watching football and stuff.

I played Super Mario RPG this week for something lighthearted, since I never finished back when it was new. I didn't really hit any big milestones, although I did get the first star. Next week will probably be more of that, plus maybe back to Okami again. That is one ridiculously long game, there, which is why it keeps ending up on the back burner. I'll still finish it eventually, if for no other reason than then I can stop talking about it.

Friday started the yearly Christmas Moratorium for wishlist items, so I will not be buying myself any new games until after the holiday. I declare an exemption for imported goods, though, and sometime during the first of December I will be ordering the next round of Gekiranger toys. (That's my Christmas gift from me to me, right there.)

Addendum 11/28: Apparently, there is a part of my programming that prevents me from being able to casually drop $300 on Japanese toys. It's probably for the best; that's a lot of money. It's enough for a PSP with all the fixin's, for one thing.

Rhetorical question: If I'm so smart, why the heck am I so stupid? I could have had *all* the next-gen systems by now, easily. So where are they?
