Sixty Days

I know it’s too early to have a year retrospective, but as of tomorrow, all of the media, toys, and whatnot that I have been craving start to flood into my life. Actually, tonight kind of feels like the day before a birthday, or Christmas. I can’t sleep. It’s just incredibly weird to know that in the next two months, everything I have been looking forward to for the past *year* is being released. Want insight into my horrible, horrible id? They’re not suprising to those who know me, but these things will rule my life:

Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 3 (for PS2)
Monsters, Inc.
Harry Potter and the Sorcerers Stone
Nintendo Gamecube
Rogue Leader (for aforementioned Gamecube)
Super Smash Bros. Melee (for Gamecube)
Lord of the Rings
the Royal Tennenbaums

All of those things have an insane amount of hype to live up to, and while I look forward to having a good time with them all, I never want to have a year like this again. It’s been unhealthy to live out the Fight Club quote: the things you own end up owning you.

Oh well. I’m going to be off playing Tony Hawk 3 (online!) and Grand Theft Auto 3 for the next couple of weeks. Fun knowing everyone. Go see “The Man Who Wasn’t There.” It’s awesome.
