Keeping Updated

So I was chatting with Anna--from the Europe trip--a few days ago and had an interesting thought: I should keep a journal. Now hear me out, not one of those girly journals or anything, just something to document what I've done and thought in a day so that I can look back on it and remember the good (and bad I guess >.>) memories from each entry. While I've tried to do this before (hell, couldn't we call a blog a sort of journal?), it's never really worked out since 1. I just don't keep up with it and 2. I have such crappy--and I mean horrendous--handwriting.

Even so, I wouldn't mind giving it another go, especially as to how my memory's been working--or should I say not working?--lately. I've been having such a bad short-term memory that it's beginning to affect my long-term memory, which was never something to brag about in the first place. Being able to read over what I have done will hopefully keep some memories intact, right?

Thus it comes down to one thing: execution. There are many ways to keep a journal, but how will I keep mine? Well, I already mentioned that I have piss-poor handwriting, so a written journal (unless if I work on improving it... hmm) seems to be out of the question. Typing is quick and easy, so perchance I should do that? ... not a bad idea. But, I'm thinking that until I can figure out a truly good method, I'll just use this blog here as an attempt at a journal of some sort. In other words, I'mma try to update it a bit more often with things that will be a little more trivial, but that will hopefully keep a better record of the things that I've done. Fun, neh?


So what did I do today? Well, woke up around five in the morning to call Alina and then couldn't fall asleep afterwards. Then--probably six thirty by then--sneaked (hehe, sounds funnier that way) downstairs to just watch a movie. Saw Little Miss Sunshine, which was entertaining to say the least. And to top my morning off, I fell asleep on my couch for three hours, finally waking up at eleven thirty-ish.

Laziness ensued, but eventually I decided that I wanted a new video game. Final Fantasy XII, while ridiculously fun, has to be played in long spurts, so I wanted something I could just pop in and entertain with. Ended up telling Kish to take me to Best Buy *shudders inwardly* and finally, after much debate, grabbed the fifth anniversary collection of Devil May Cry. What swayed me? Mmmm, it could be that there was nothing else to get or the fact that it was only thirty dollars for all three of the games in one!

That night I went to Berserk's (this is my friend Alex from Tech) house to play some Halo 2 with him and a bunch of his AZN friends. Quite fun, specially since he hooked up three XBoxes together for crazy LANed Halo action. That and his friends, who were hilarious. For one, his friend, who they called Fraino--his actual name was Mike--was high, and it was noticeable. Best part, however, was when we were playing capture the flag. With four players on each team it got a little hard to remember who was on what team. So through all the mayhem, Fraino ends up scoring for me and Alex's team, although neither of us even knew that he was playing on our team. Go figure. But, all in all, very fun night spent and an overall "successful" day.

... whee!
