Primordial Chaos

Ok, so I know I haven't been posting or even on twitter too much, but I've been video gaming it up with my bro. We've been caught up in this game for the Playstation 3 called Demon's Souls lately. We were doing the whole 2 player thing for a while, but we got this game and we're both really into it. We take turns playing our characters, you know that whole sharing thing. His character is higher level because he got into the game before me, but we still play as a team. If he's playing, I'm on the laptop looking up item info, what weapon is best for what area, or how to fight some boss and just any other info we need. Every once and a while he'll have me fight a boss for him. We have two different play styles, I'm a ranged damage and strategy type, and he is a run in there and beat it till it's dead type. So when he gets to a ranged/strategy boss he hands it over to me. He helps me out on the run in and beat it silly bosses. Since he is playing through the levels before I am and I'm looking up all the info and maps, when I go through the level it's nothing new to me. It's an RPG game, but yet it has like levels, or stages to these different worlds. This game is damn HARD. But me and Jess are tearing through it as a team, so it's not so bad. :) The 50 inch plasma is nice too. I like it better than LCD screens, picture and color glare wise. I'm somewhat sensitive to bright colors, and the LCD screens strike me as obnoxious. Like my laptop and desktop they are turned WAY down because otherwise I get a headache. Fuck if I know why.

We've been keeping weird ass hours, going to bed 3am or later, getting up in the afternoon and we get right back to kicking pixelated ass all night long. It's really been a fucking blast. I feel guilty because I'm being so non-productive. I'm so used to having to get up at a certain time, get shit together, be at class by a certain time, homework, cooking dinner...that's all currently gone. For a week and a half I get to completely do not a damn thing. Back to class January 4th though. Until then, there are monsters who need ass beatings. :P

Despite feeling weird about basically being a complete slacker, it's been really good for me. My sleep schedule is fucked, but I'm only sleeping 6-7 hours and feeling great. Before I was sleeping 10-12 and still felt unrested. However, I have the neat trick of adapting to a sleep schedule in a day, so I can change mine back to a reasonable adult type of schedule. I'm so non-stressed now though. I was so tense and irritable, now I'm just very cool and calm. My bro and mom have commented on it, that I seem so chill all the damn time. They're used to me being the intense one.

There's a b-ball game tonight, it's been 10 days since I've been to a game so I'm extra hyped up. It's against Texas Tech, so this should be a good game. Our loss got us knocked down in the ratings from 13/12 to 19/17. So we have a chip on our shoulder, and I think tonight will be exciting. Two games in a row where our shooting was piss poor, 3 times the charm. Plus it's at the Pit and Lobos fans are definitely going to be at their most obnoxious. Myself included. Our boys can play through the crowd noise like it's not there. Visiting teams have a real issue not getting distracted, like the coach will be yelling at them to do something, and section 26 will yell other directions and you can see the players not be sure what's what. So damn funny.

Anyways, I gotta go get Lobo geared up and head out to the Pit! Here's hoping for a win!
