And with a year (52) weeks of posting, I’m reverting back to normal numerals instead of roman!
I may not look it, but I’m a huge fan of Japanese RPG games. One the best I’ve played ever is Tales of Vesperia for the Xbox 360. It’s a brilliant combination of fun gameplay, and engaging plot, gorgeous [...]

I’ve decided that yearly resolutions are pretty much overrated, so I’m going for monthly ones instead, starting with no new clothes in December.
Why? It’s pretty simple.. In November I bought 3 shirts, 7 t-shirts (I think), 3 pairs of jeans, a belt and 2 pairs of shoes. This is quite a lot by my standards!

I finished reading Starbucked (a book that chronicles the rise of Starbucks over the years) over the weekend (at a Borders cafe, no less) and while I could go on about whether or not Starbucks represents cultural imperialism (I don’t think so), I instead want to share a great quote from the book:

I really wanted to post this last Monday, but the full music video wasn’t out yet so you get it first thing this Monday morning!

3Oh!3 – New Music – More Music Videos

I can’t say I took notice of 3Oh!3 before this though I certainly heard the song on the radio, but the addition of Katy [...]
