FTW Do Want
What a great week, eh? Baseball all-star games... Beautiful Midwestern humidity... Big video game expo... DISSERTATION REWRITE?! A word to the wise: If you go to Europe to do a 1-year Master's program, try to sleep with a professor. Otherwise, they may be all pompous and s*** and actually fail you, unlike our glorious American universities and their love of the alumni donation.
Also, don't title your public policy paper: "Elephants - Live By the Sword, Die By the Sword."
In my time procrastinating, however, I manage to ingest a ton of pop culture. I put it next to my lemonade, which is next to my paper notes, which are actually in the trash.
What I Learned From Generation Kill: Being in the Marines is like being in a crappy business environment, where higher-ups obsess over inconsequential minutia like dress code. Your shirt is untucked? Chaos in the workplace! Your mustache is uncouth? We'll never win the Iraq War! Wait...
Meltdown! Or, Video Game News I'm Loving (Or, "Elephants - Redux)"
This section is also known as the part where I copy the previous post's style and comment on fun vids you guys can watch at work or complain about if for whatever reason your work computer doesn't have a soundcard or headphone output.
Rock Band 2
I have to get this game in order to keep Blogulator commenter and game griefer P. Arty at bay (achievement-wise). Also, my new love Hayley Williams has a song called "That's What You Get" on the soundtrack. I can't help but let my heart win, Paramore...
Fallout 3
Dystopian future apocalpses? SOOOOOO OVERDONE! Dystopian future apocalypses that take place in the unfrequented gaming locale of Washington, DC, and gives you an I Am Legend-type companion dog? SOOOOOO YUMMY!
Resident Evil 5
Zombie games similarly litter the gaming landscape, but this is the primo zombie series, kinda like George Romero movies were for cinema prior to disasters like the recently-released, ironic DVD-of-the-summer Diary of the Dead.
Final Fantasy XIII
Monday may have been the day Playstation died, when this longtime Sony exclusive announced it would also release for Microsoft's XBox 360. I'm not sure if you noticed, but the Internet literally blew up. That's why you can't even read this post!
After Sony's press conference today, though, things seem to have calmed. Marketing departments rule (so long as they dress appropriately).
Wii Music
I guess this is the big Nintendo annoucement? This game - which has been limbo for a couple of years - apparenelty fails to realize that there are now other music games available that feature bands like Paramore that don't just play Yankee Doodle. Still, if Hayley came over for a fun night of games and cola, I might pull this out of the library. Either this or some game with dragons in it. Chicks love dragons!
ROWRRRR I'M OFF ON MY DRAGON ZOOOOOMMM

A birthday Blogulator post? And a name drop holler? AND a Paramore video? This is without the best Blogulator post ever!
Doktor, please get Rock Band 2. We can start an eBand and achieve together. Achievements don't have to be a competition. Let's learn and grow together. And then let's get married on Facebook.
Yes, Happy Birthday Doktor! A certain petite red-haired faux-angsty present may or may not be arriving at your basement door this evening...
Not that I care, but who ended up winning that freaking ridiculously long All-Star game anyway? It was still on at like 12:30 when I went to bed!
Happy Birthday Doktor!
How old is the Doktor today? 104? Happy Birthday!
Lady, the AL ended up winning shorly after 12:30, and our boy Justin Morneau was the one who scored the winning run!

Thanks for all the birthday wishes, sirs and madams. Being a Doktor, I sometimes get caught up in my medical research and forget to celebrate such things.
As my sister said, I am now as old as a Washington quarter! It's pretty sickening, considering I'm yet to achieve my dreams of becoming a pro baseball player and sleeping with someone famous. Those go together, because Alyssa Milano loves sexing ballplayers.
