Haunts and ghouls, homework & school

What a disaster it would be if you discovered that I cared
A little too much for friends, but not enough to share.

Ah. . .  October. You’re one of my favorite months. The air gets a little cooler, the leaves turn orange, and horror marathons begin to pop up on the tube. Halloween is definitely one of my favorite holidays, probably just because it feels like the first real sign of fall. Anyways, let’s catch up on October.

The month started off with a concert featuring Angels and Airwaves. Not their best concert I’ve been to but that’s okay. Since then I’ve been mainly working on homework with the occasional video game. I managed to land one of the LittleBigPlanet beta invites for last week – that game is probably going to blow some minds. The creation tools are amazing, but even without them it’s a genuinely amazing game. Think about how much fun Super Mario Bros. was back in the day, then modernize it, make it cute and approachable for a general audience, and finally stick in both story-mode AND online multiplayer. And then imagine huge giant worlds far more complex than most professional video games today. LittleBigPlanet comes out October 21ST and should finally earn the PS3 some of the cred it deserves.

In other gaming news, I started playing World of Warcraft again late this summer. Huge mistake right? Oh well, it’s been a blast. My druid hit 70 a week or so ago. Mmm. Geeky. The pre-expansion patch hits late tonight.

Anyway – every day is another day closer to Halloween. Until then I’m upping my dosage of dedicated homework time, unfortunately. I’m trying not to watch politics as the MSNBC logo was beginning to burn into my TV… And it’s an old CRT peice so that can’t be good. I can’t resist embedding a political video these days, however. Be greatful though, I’m going to spare you the horribly sung tune of Hey Sarah Palin and send you off with some thoughts from John Cleese.
