(at queensborough best buy) “do you guys have any copies of borderlands?” “is that the game everyone’s been calling for? we’re completely sold out… (checks stocks) there’s no stock in all the best buy, but got some in transit” “i heard people getting rainchecks for the game, can i get a raincheck?” “i’m not sure i’ll have to ask another person”

(sales assoc #2) “oooh maybe … but i can only give it to you for the current price” “… but… what if you can price match walmart” “hmm actually that might work … just go line up at customer service and see if they can do it for you”

20 min in line up later

“can i help you with something?” “ya i like to get a rain check on this, [sale assoc #2] said there’s no stock but it’s coming … so you guys might be able to do one for me” “ok… let me check the system”

2 min later

“we usually don’t do this but there’s too many people in line up so i’m just gonna do it for you, here’s your raincheck for borderlands for 360 [for $37]”

*EDIT oct 27*

i called bb and they got a shipment in last night, BUT they didn’t have any for me, and said you’ll have a wait a few more days, FAIL

less than 4 months

can’t figure out how to do the comments properly i’ll have to take a bit more time to look/clean it up, add add my side bar back, but i’m so lazy ;/

that is, if i decided to work on the site at all lol, i’ve been playing lots beating almost all the games i want to beat before i get my hands on uncharted 2 (the only one left unfinished is professor layton and the diabolical box something), i even started to play zelda twilight princess on wii (again) cause i beat most of the ones i wanted to finish – naruto ultimate ninja storm, final fantasy crisis core, shadow complex

i went to a van 2010 volunteer get together thing on fri, i didn’t know ANYONE except 1 person, so that was pretty… adequate, i think i left in about 30 min, then i went to my olympic volunteer session on sat, saw a few of ppl from the world cup and that made up for it, the same group sorta getting back together, found out what the olympic uniform looks like, look pretty sweet

OlympicVolunteerUniforms

2010 is gonna be soooo awesome, except for the transit crap, because i can only take the bus up to cypress from capilano college or lonsdale quay (45 min?), which means i’ll have to bus skytrain from richmond to waterfront (25-35 min?), take seabus (?? min), then take bus up mountain, THEN walk from bus stop on mtn to village/volunteer tent (15 – 30 min?), it’s gonna take like 2.5 hrs EACH WAY, gg

yesterday went to wings #2 at wings daves where everybody get together, yay dave for hosting, he’s home alone for a month, board game marathon time! but ya, wings night is basically errbody bring a flavor, and deep fry/bake 200+ wings, there were salt&pepper/hot/lemon pepper/honey something/soy sauce/sweet thai/terriyaki, AND some random flavors like lemon honey/orange ginger, and my lemon pepper garlic aka albino wings, which sucked, cause i baked it, but then i deep fried it after, and turned awesome, i call it the double cooked blackened albino wings, something like that, doesn’t matter, it turned awesome at the end, but ian didn’t take his big bertha wing back, what a jerk

i think that was the first time i had a wings night w/o beer

and romo has a fart button on his side, when you poke it’ll go *fart*

simplicity

actually the truth is i can’t come up with a fancy design (or any design) now, my design/inspiration has gone waaay down in the past 2-3 years, and it is only slowly coming back (i think), so this is the best i could do so far, i think i’ve been wanting to, and trying to come up with a new look – by the way this is version 12 of agroove – for over a year, and now i finally got around to it, and it’s probably the most basic layout i’ve ever done,  just black and white for now, that’s all there is to it

there’s a few things i have to do now after this has been accomplished:

  1. finish/clean up design, add a color scheme, and get the widgets back in
  2. take a drawing class
  3. make a photo blog design (for the dslr in near future)
  4. beat shadow complex and get uncharted 2

i’m looking fwd to the last one the most lol, i’ve now moved my 360 into my own room and hooked it up to my comp/monitor, good thing my lcd takes in component input (yay for ultrasharp), sound goes to the line in of my comp, with my speakers and sub i probably get a better sound out of this than playing in the living room, the only thing that crappy is that last night i was playing, my comp went to sleep after being inactive for x amount of time, and i lost my net connection and dc’d from odst with dee and will ;/

atleast the xbox will become a mini heater while i play in my room

last random thought, hot pot season has started!
