Damn, I need a drink. Still do, but I've had to settle for a beverage of the plainest variety. Fortunately, I was able to supplement it with some spiced ginger biscuits, but there's still a need that must be met.
Aside from seeing The Proposition, which was wunderbar but far less violent than I was led to believe (violent, perhaps, if you've never watched a film before), awesomeness in recent days has come in the form of my getting Advance Wars for my now beautifully weathered DS. Unlike ipods and PSPs, when a DS is scratched or ages in any way, its matte coating makes the scratches look like badges of honour rather than damage accidentally dealt to a once-virginal piece of flimsy technology.
It's basically the game it's always been, the new Advance Wars. Coupla new units, new COs, new maps and a much harder campaign (and wireless play, which is a new experience for me). The real deal for that game is being able to use the stylus to play. Directing your units on the touch screen makes you feel like fucking Patton (without the crushing defeat, and with 'fucking' read as a qualifier and not a verb). Your tanks and your funky little guys whizz around the map as you direct them with an effeminate and dismissive flick of your wrist, like a sexually ambiguous military character from a completely unamusing Thai film.
Sami remains beautiful and unattainable. For Elana's benefit, the MP-5 isn't in the least bit attractive.

The new wi-fi dongle will also support wireless networking for the Revolution. It's a genius way to prevent users from having to pay for things they don't need, for who that has broadband access does not also own a compatible PC? That fucker's coming out in November in the US, and probably never in Australia. LikSang is my friend.
