p.s. I'd mention Starcraft. but I think I'm way over that now. I kept uninstalling and reinstalling the game over the months... but now I'm finally ready to say that I'm over the game. I said that the summer after my senior year in high school, and my friends even asked me if I still enjoyed the game. I kept telling them "but I quit." Lied several times. Bought the game several times after throwing the CD away or giving it away to my other friends. it wasn't until I gave my brother's copy back that I seriously grew over it. the turning point was when I started watching those Korean Starcraft videos on Youtube.com
I went back to playing afterwards, attempting to immitate some of the moves I saw in the videos, ...it was impossible for me. over the weeks I started realizing how much I was getting whooped on the Asia server and in Korean games on East server.
I was like... "how do they aim at spider mines with marines and not get blown into peices!?" it wasn't that though, because I remember how I used to go against the extreme players without my high APM and still managed to out strategize them with my lazy APM strings. I realized that I was growing up faster than I thought, and that video games weren't my thing anymore, since after only a few games I got incredibly bored, wins or losses. I don't know if I should pick up any more PC games. I went from console, to PC, back to console, back to PC... the last game I think I'm going to pick up is going to be Diner Dash, with the help of reminding me of the horrific accounts I played part in when I worked at restaurants.

Not sure what sR is but prolly not. I'm just a Boston Legal Fan. Not sure if I like quirky Spader or his gal pal Shat but their interaction is hilarious.

In fact, my technique is to download the show the day after it airs, cut through all the crap and watch the 5-7 minutes of spader/shatner interaction. If I get truly bored one day, I'll edit each episode and come up with an hour long montage for each season with just the spader/shatner interaction. I think I will publish it as my own art and make a fortune.

Then again.....study guide for stats is yet to be completed. So is the paper, so is the presentation due on Monday.......fvk.

Playing games is not the distraction when I need to get something important accomplished. It is the dang distraction of the internet >_>.
