my favorite thing about wario ware smooth moves:
That song from Dribble and Spitz’s level.
Pyoro S is pretty cool too.

How’s the working world treating you? How are things in general?

Hey Shep, thanks for asking! ^^
Moving from Arlington to San Angelo has been very nice, but moving itself is one of the most hectic things ever. Things at work are wonderful. My job is just right, and I’ve moved to the most glorious place in Texas as far as I’m concerned.
Not glorious as in “mountain vistas out my back window” or anything like that (this is actually the edge of a desert), but more of a subtle kind of beauty that has sunk into every sidewalk crevice and brick and has been noticed and taken care of by everyone in the city. I’ve lived all my life in the big city and never knew it because I had nothing to compare it to. This is the opposite of where I was. A smallish city compared to a largish city. Neither are on the extreme end of anything, but the difference is in the people. I can walk around, genuinely talk to complete strangers, introduce myself as a recent import, and they’ll suggest a restaurant or a grocery store or something. Days, maybe a week later, I can run into the same person, who will maybe remember my name, ask how I liked the whatever, and how I was learning my way around.
In Arlington, I only exchanged cold glances with people. I feel like I’m having a social awakening that never happened when it was supposed to, say at around 12 or 13.
I’m pretty well-respected at my job for being both new (worked there 12 days now!) and highly competent as an editor. It does take a lot of my time, of course, being a full-time job, but the grind hasn’t become unbearable. I always fear it will, because that leads to restlessness, which leads probably to me going back to college to study something completely new. XD
I do wish I could be more in touch. Though, the main thing preventing me from writing, or playing games, or making music or philosophizing or whatever hedonistic pursuit I happen to desire is a hard fact of my life right now. My girlfriend, whom I care more for that almost anything, has been really sick for half of last year and all of this year. I’ve probably hinted at her epilepsy in the past. (but I tiptoe around it, since I don’t like to get quite this personal) But the problems she’s having aren’t seizures. Antiepileptic medicine is a really funny thing. It can take someone’s worst qualities and bring them to the front. Despite my knowledge of psychology and biology, I can’t say why. She was always kind of a worrier, but the drugs she was on turned her into a fully crazy paranoid schizophrenic, hallucinations and voices and all. We got lowered her dose, but that it only made the effect a little less severe. We got her on a new medication, which is marginally better. She’s not schizophrenic anymore, thankfully, but she has panic attacks, several a day, about everything (everything from money, which is legitimate, to being eaten by spiders). Between these attacks though, she’s more or less normal. I have to be there for her when this stuff happens, so that even though she loses grip on reality, there’s something there to bring her back, or at least keep her from doing anything weird. The attacks usually don’t happen in the middle of the day anymore (more in the night when the brain tries to make sense of the darkness and life’s uncertainty), so it’s okay that I’m gone for work. I always come home on my breaks since I live close by.
We’re in a new place though, and we finally have insurance and can see whatever doctors we need to. I’m confident that this won’t be a big problem in the future. I sure hope so.
Geez, this got long. And kinda personal. Although, she knows I discuss her problems with other people and she’s comfortable with this. She says I need to be able to talk about it with other and shouldn’t try to keep it in. I’m glad for that.
Like I said, thanks for asking. I’m really behind with various friends, and I hate to lose touch. How is your world?

I just played wario ware with my gf for the first time. I was kinda put off that it doesnt want to use more than one controller for multiplay, particularly seeing that I have 3 controllers. oh well. it was fun, but easily the shortest ww game to come out… which makes no sense because its the most expensive.
Good luck with all the girlfriend stuff. My sister has a long history of panic attacks and those alone were cause for concern. You must both be going through a lot.
Well, hope everything is going well with the job. Personally I’m looking forward to a few more Wii games to come out!

Yeah, this Wario Ware is very short. Especially compared to Twisted, which kept me going for week unlocking stuff. And Rhythm Tengoku… well, nothing compares to Rhythm Tengoku.
I rented this bastard though, probably my first video game rental in years. I’ve also signed up for Gamefly and will be getting the new Sonic in today, maybe. Shipping to this part of the world is a little slow.
I don’t see myself buying a lot of games these days.

yeah, amen to that. If they’d brought the price down on some of these Wii games, I’d definitely be buying more. I don’t think its fair to take all these older games and map new controls on them.
I wish they’d come up with a way to sell Wii control schemes for older cube games. Like 5 bucks to play Pikmin 2 with the Wiimote kinda thing.
I am probably going to sign up for gamefly again soon. I’m not completely sold on Super Paper Mario. I actually don’t see myself buying another Wii game until Super Mario Galaxy.
