time sure passes in weird ways, but never in the way we want it to.

while i was working, it couldn't have gone any slower unless it completely ground to a halt. and of course, i was wishing that things would just speed up and i'd find myself at the first day of classes. but now that i'm unemployed and free, so has the summer vacation liberated itself from wherever it was holed up in, and blessed my living days with relaxation and enjoyment. as it should have.

i've finally gotten my hands on an original copy of xenosaga episode ii, allowing me to bypass my faulty pirated dvd at home and access the epilogue, which just means more hours of unadulterated futuristic-existential-rpg fun for me. it struck me that it was as if this was the only thing missing from my summertime to make it feel complete: the ps2 and a good rpg to hang out with. now i can just imagine how it will be once i get home and get access to over half a dozen new games: the perfect syncing of tv, pc, and ps2, for the few remaining days it can last. now that the summer's about to run to an end, i'm standing here wishing it could go on just a little longer. or maybe that i could've spent more of my time doing exactly that.

shallow, yes, but i'm still a teenage boy. i still have my guilty pleasures. and my license to dream.
