Gamecubeeeeee
I am now a small step towards true happiness.
Yesterday, after much umm-ing and ahh-ing, I bought a Gamecube. I always laugh at myself in situations like this, where I eventually have money to spend on something that has haunted my dreams for the preceding weeks, but my own chronic indecisiveness halts what should be a seamless process. I stood there infront of the shelf of Gamecubes at my local denki (electronics) shop, with a thoughtful expression but thinking nothing in particular, for about 1 hour.
Eventually, I plucked the box from the shelf and brought it to the counter, all the while worrying, “What if they ask me something. What if they make me fill out a form. What if my head falls off and my pants fall down. For the love of God, please let me play Nintendo tonight”.
This story ends with me forgoing dinner and sleep in favour of playing Mario for 6 hours.
Super Mario Sunshine is like sex, except Im getting it.
Thank you Nintendo, for making my life better.
Today I have been pissing myself with laughter at regular intervals, all due to one event that happened in the morning. Me and my supervisor went to a Kendo dojo in the town next to our village, to have a look - with a view to me practising there eventually. At the end of every Kendo practise there is a “mokuzo” period of meditation, where the room is totally silent and everyone sits in seiza, eyes closed, in deep contemplation. It was at this point that my supervisors mobile phone chose to go “DAADADADADDEEEDEE” at full blast, echoing round the room filled with 30 or so kendoka and their sensei. Needless to say, we both cacked ourselves with laughter and left soon after that.
Random Thought: You know you have no life when you tell your parents something on the phone and they reply,”We know. Its on your site”.
