Filler: Star Wars!

I know I haven't posted in a while, and I do have lots of stuff to blog about. But no time.

Every day, I reach home at around X o'clock (the value of X varies wildly depending on the day's events). I then fall asleep and wake up at dinnertime. No snide remarks. This nap is essential. I need it to help put off my inevitable system burnout. After dinner I do my homework until midnight. So the fact that I'm on MSN this whole time may have something to do with the lateness of the hour when I finish, but I refuse to cast blame until I see facts.

Ahem.

Anyway, in the short few days since I last posted, I went dancing at Maisarah's party, swimming at Edward's party, discovered exactly how shot through with holes the schools new games system is, survived a terrifying preliminary hazing by the Interact Club and took the LRT to Kelana Jaya station. Wild, huh?

I plan to cover all those events over the weekend. But right now, I don't have the material or the energy. So instead,

Star Wars: Empire at War

So I went to GameSpot today. I saw the countdown banner marking down the seconds until the release of the demo, and I thought at once, I must have this thing.


Tonight I will go online at one in the morning. I will start the download and tomorrow, the galaxy will be mine.

Here's hoping there are no Gungans.

It's been a pretty good day.
