A resulting IM exchange with a friend went as follows:
Friend: Those look a lot happier than the depths of my soul.
Me: I would've preferred the fabric in raven's feather black, but I guess midnight black is OK.
Friend: Midnight black sucks. It's like the sun to me.

I want video game companies to start offering a "Pay It Forward" option wherein you buy into a series of games even before the 2nd or 3rd or Xth release is available. You'd get all the games in the series ... eventually ... and it'd be less than buying them each individually. And the video game companies would have extra cash upfront.
Looking back at games I've gone through ... I've played through the Ratchet & Clank series, both God of War games, almost all of the Katamari Damacy spawn (Beautiful Katamari comes out tomorrow), 2 out of 3 of the Halo series, and others. My point is, I already know that games like Mass Effect and Assassin's Creed are planned trilogies and they've both gotten really good early reviews. And, given my past history with games in a series, once I buy into one, I'm going to buy into the rest.

A few weeks ago I started in on the Halo series. I guess I took my time with Halo and beat it within a week. I just finished Halo 2 in about 9 or 10 hours. I'll start in on Halo 3, but after tomorrow, it's all about Beautiful Katamari.

Had a wonderful dinner at wd~50 in New York City. Here's the wd~50 photo set of their tasting menu.
I should highlight one dish that was particularly amusing. Pizza pebbles. So at dinner I'm saying, "I don't want to insult the chef at all, but this tastes exactly like pizza combos." In talking with our waitress, Abigail, after the course about how fun that dish was, she says, "It reminds me of pizza combos." ZOMG!!1! That was good for a laugh. She also asked if the photos were going to end up on a blog (+1 for progressive wait-staff). I had told her they'd definitely be up on Flickr. So, Abigail, if you're reading this, thanks for a great evening.
