That’s what all the history books are going to say. This year’s lineup of games is simply amazing. If I buy all the games I’m looking forward to, I’ll be out of money by the end of this year. Let’s do the math.

Super Mario Galaxy 2 + Monster Hunter Tri + Metroid Other M + Zelda Wii + Halo Reach + Crackdown 2 + The Last Story + Xenoblade = $400

Not to mention there are games I’m forgetting about, and I’m sure some other games are going to be announced that will catch my interest. It’s a good thing I can download DS games, because I’d have to spend money on Okamiden and Golden Sun DS as well.

…I need a job.

EDIT: Add Shadow Complex, Battleblock Theater, Mass Effect, and Limbo to that list (yes, I’m aware some of those games came out before 2010).

As you may have noticed, my site has been down a lot lately… I sowwy. My host has been updating its servers to relieve the heavy load on them, and I believe they’re done now.

Also, thank God hellweek is over.

I’ve noticed something recently – almost all of the music I listen to nowadays lacks vocals. I certainly enjoy music with vocals, but there’s just something more appealing to me about orchestral/instrumental/vocal-less music. Even without the use of words, orchestral music is able to communicate a more powerful message than most other vocal songs I have in my iTunes Library. I seem to feel more connected to orchestral music; as the listener, I’m able to give the song my own meaning, whereas vocal songs (in most cases) tell you exactly what the song is about. I love music that is open to my own interpretation. One of my favorite songs at the moment is Everyday (Carly Comando). Take a listen and you’ll see what I mean.

It seems as though most people these days are only interested in rap because of its “amazing lyrics.” Am I the only one that finds rap repulsive anymore? It saddens me that almost everyone I know would turn up their nose to orchestral music.

I had three of my tests today (math, history, and language arts). I think  I may have done okay on my math test, which is a bit of a relief. As for my history test… not good. I studied last night and looked over my book quite a few times, but I forgot everything when I walked in the classroom. It certainly didn’t help that I had just finished taking my math tests less than ten minutes ago. And the problem with history is that we get about 100 points per marking period, so one bad grade on a test can really mess you up – hopefully I do better on Friday’s test. My test in language arts sucked too. It was a test on Julius Caesar, so I knew it was going to be bad (not to mention tests in that class are always difficult).

Tomorrow will be a break in terms of tests, and then I have two more on Friday (my Spanish test got moved to next week – thank God!). The history test shouldn’t be too bad, but the science test is going to be terrible – I have no idea what’s going on in that class.

I know this isn’t a very exciting post for you all to read, but I’m really stressed out and upset right now and felt like this would be a good place to vent. This weekend should bring happier updates (I hope).

I’m a little bit sick at the moment, which makes me dislike this week already. However, to make matters MUCH worse, I also have seven tests. I have two on Wednesday, three on Thursday, and two on Friday. Wednesday’s tests will be fairly difficult, but Thursday’s shouldn’t be too bad. The two on Friday are going to be the hardest and will require the most study time, and I don’t know how I’m going to be able to budget my time so that I will be prepared for all of the tests.

I sad.
