Video Game Success and Failure

So. Video Games. Al the things I could write about... but I'll keep it relatively recent. Two months ago, I got a copy of .Hack//Infection, a six year old venture. I had just gotten back into the .Hack// franchise after a few years of other games/anime. Well, I was extremely grateful for the save function, something the demo disk of the second game was sorely lacking. Nevertheless, though, about halfway in I reached a huge wall, and I was unable to continue any farther. at that point in time, I desired a fighting game based off an anime, so i got Naruto: Ultimate Ninja 3, which I beat in a couple of days. It was the fastest I had ever beaten a game in. That had tided me over, but I still had a yearning for a good game. So, one night after I had hung out at my best friend's house, I asked him if I could borrow Soul Calibur III from his nonfunctional PS2. He agreed, and as of this moment I am in the middle of Story Mode.

Fun in the Sun at Six Flags

Two days ago, my friends and I took a trip down to Six Flags Magic Mountain for some fun. We had a buy 1 get 1 free coupon, so we only had to pay half price each. Except for me however, as there was only the 3 of us and I wanted a season pass. So, after twenty torturous minutes of the opening ceremony, we raced straight to X2, which looked just like X, with maybe a new paint job and an extra loop or so. Well, the line to X2 was short, as the park had just opened, but it seemed that we would still have to wait over an hour to get on it- the ride hadn't opened yet. So, down but getting better, we went to ride Tatsu, expecting a long wait. We were happily wrong, and we got flying about a half hour after we set foot in line. Immediately rejuvenated, except for my female friend who was a little dizzy, we wondered what to do next before we decided to do a quick ride before lunch, and thus we got to Viper, the first loop coaster I had ever ridden. It took about ten minutes before we headed off to Wascals, the delicious burger joint near Goliath. After we ate, we went on that carnival swing ride to get our stomachs ready for Goliath. Goliath, which was so empty we were able to get in two rides in ten minutes, and that was mostly just walking through the extraordinarily long line area. After that, we just went around, snapping up all the rides except Batman before 3:00. So, we rested, filled out the season pass thing, rode the carousel, and layed down on the grass. At around 7:30, we went to Batman and got out at around 9:00. At that point, we decided to go eat funnel cake and go home.

Summer School Woes

I just got back from my last day of summer school here at the High School, and I couldn't be more relieved! I swear that the English 10 room and all its inhabitants were designed to be a torture method for smart people. When they weren't making random loud noises, they were insulting the teacher and many, many others. One particular dredge named John C. literally couldn't stop yelling inane questions at the teacher, or stop being an utter racist towards Jews. And if the people weren't bad enough, the work load was utterly inconsistent. One second we were drawing a storyboard for The Tragedy of Julius Caesar, and the next we had a five-paragraph essay due in 30 minutes. And after that we watched a movie to fill out a graphic organizer on it. However, we didn't even have to do that, as the teacher wrote all the answers on the board before he collected it. Luckily, now it's all over, and there's no way in hell I'm going there again.
