This post is going to be short and sweet. The formatting is going to be fuck and each paragraph will be self-contained and completely unrelated to the others. Call it lazy writing, I don't give a shit. It's not like I'm writing an academic paper or anything. Man, I miss writing papers, though. I'm really good at it. I would constantly get compliments at school on my excellent writing and research skills. I'd love to research and write papers for a living but alas, it's a tough industry to get into. The competition is fierce, the jobs are limited, and everyone else has more experience. I got almost kind of close for being considered for a job in Toronto as a lab manager for a psych lab run by the University of Toronto. The leading professor sent me a response to an application I sent in, wanting me to answer some questions regarding my experience and have some letters of reference sent in. That was back in May. I think it's safe to assume I didn't get the job. What a pain. Truth to be told, I should go out and get my Masters in Experimental Psychology. But that costs a lot of money, requires far away travel, and there's no guarantee of a job following graduation. I mean, I could DO it. Hell, I could probably take it the PhD level with no problem. But like I said, money, travel, tough market... Plus I'm lazy as shit and haven't an ounce of professionalism in my body. But I'm intelligent. Somewhat. And that's all that matters.
Remember a few posts ago when I bragged about never getting sick? Yeah, scratch that. I've been getting sick quite often in recent months and I think it's from the daycare where I work. There's always at least couple kids who have some sort of bug. In fact, I'm sick right now. Sore throat, listlessness, and general malaise. I know it doesn't sound like much, but I'm not used to being sick. I can't deal with even the smallest illness. And the goddamn heat is not making it any easier. Fuck these 30 degree temperatures and fuck this humidity. Why can't the temperature be a constant 15 degrees all year round? That would be heaven. But yeah, getting sick all the time sucks Santa's holly jolly ballsack. I need to start taking multivitamins or something. Mom suggested Centrum. We'll see.
So a couple hours after work, I took an hour long nap. Then I woke up and took another one for an hour. Two hours of naps and I am still so tired. Can't go to bed yet, though. Girlfriend gets off of work soon and we gotta watch Major Crimes before bed. Plus I need something to eat; I never had supper yet despite it being close to 11pm as of this sentence. Tomorrow I need to head across the city to pass in some paperwork for my new job that starts next month.
Didn't get around to playing Mega Man Battle Network the past couple days. My motivation for gaming hasn't been high lately. Though my motivation for expanding my gaming collection has been on the rise. A couple weeks ago, I picked up a Game Boy Micro through Kijiji and I fucking love that thing. Definitely my preferred way to play GBA games. It's so tiny and so cute!! There's just a couple Game Boy models that I'm missing now: Game Boy Pocket, Game Boy Light (JP only), and Game Boy Advance SP model 101 (the one with the backlight, not the frontlight). I've been expanding my tiny ass game collection, too, through Kijiji and a retro game shop across the harbour. This week I picked up Donkey Kong Land 3 for $20, which is a retarded price, but I had to have it. They have tons of cool shit that I want, not just Game Boy stuff. Famicom and Super Famicom games, Sega Saturn and Dreamcast stuff, and PlayStation games. They have Star Ocean: Till the End of Time, which I really want as I had it when I was a teenager and fucking loved it. That's $35. And they have Dirge of Cerberus: Final Fantasy VII for $20. I played the shit out of FFVII on PS1 when I was a teenager and I just finished a replay on Steam and I want more FFVII. I watched Advent Children again afterwards and I want to play some of the other games from the Compilation. Crisis Core would be cool to play, but I don't have a PSP. My brother does, but the UMD slot is busted. I'd love to play Before Crisis, but that was a Japanese only mobile game that will never come to the West. Maybe I'll watch Last Order to tide me over until I can get my hands on Dirge of Cerberus. I'm going home this weekend, so I'll pick up my PS2 while I'm there. I wish I had home theatre console so that I run those analog signals into my digital-only HDTV. My living room TV doesn't have composite ports. If I had a home theatre console thing, I could run composite cables from my older game consoles into the input and then output using an HDMI cable to my TV. My dad said he'd try to get one for me, so we'll see how that turn out.
Well, that's all I wanted to talk about tonight. I need to find Major Crimes and make pizza pops in the microwave.
