I just finished Memoirs of a Geisha, which is fantastic, and I also watched the movie, which butchered the book completely. So so so much is inconsistent between the two I can't believe that Golden allowed the movie to be made.

In addition, it was so liberating when I sold a shitload of my video games on Ebay. Sure, part of it was so I could buy a bass amp, but it was great because then I felt like my monstrous backlog was no longer an obligation where I had to beat them all. Gaming then became fun for me again, because it didn't feel like an obligation (and thus, like work.) Yeah this actually helped me out a TON. I had so many games that I needed to finsh that everytime I'd sit down to play something I'd feel like it wasn't fun, but more I was doing it just to get through it. Hell I sold my cube and xbox and a good 90% of my PS2 games. It felt real nice, I almost sold my PS2 but I'm glad I didn't cause I'm startin to get back into a few games.

So if you want to have a tuna steak, NEVER order one from a restaurant. They'll ALWAYS overcook it. Either cook one yourself or eat it at somebody's house who knows how to cook it right. I think it depends on where you go. I work in a restaurant and the cooks there hate cooking meats beyond medium well. And tuna will always be pink inside, even if its ordered well done because they refuse to cook it til the pink is gone.

It really depends on who you talk to. Some vegans and vegetarians have absolutely no problem with eating meat. It's our method's of getting it. The fact that we raise animals with the sole purpose of eating them is deemed by some as unnatural because they were never given a chance to live and were pretty much marked as food before they were even born. Which I feel is understandable. Of course thats not enough to stop me from enjoying meat.

Woah lets not just label all vegetarians as retards here. I have alot of friends and family members who are vegetarians purely for health reasons and its worked to their benefit.

Oh yeah, while we're at it, do check out if there is anything on Shenmue 3 and that unnamed Level 5 RPG that was announced back in late 2004. Wouldn't that be...Rogue Galaxy..

After a large gaming hiatus I've finally popped inWild Arms 4 and I think I've finally gotten over this gaming slum. I decided to just start over and I'm in the White Orphanage dealie. The game is a ton of fun but so much of the dialogue just seems so unnatural. Hopefully it gets better but it isn't enough to deter me from finishing this game.

Depends on who I'm with and the situation. I am perfectly capable of holding a conversation with anyone without swearing, but I know that I can get quite the foul mouth when I'm just hanging out witth my friends. At home though you will never hear my utter a single foul word. No one in my house curses, except the older of my two sisters, and if anyone did you know that person is PISSED.
