So yeah, its Monday morning, and I'm up early. Almost got up at 10, but managed to get 30 more minutes sleep before giving up. So I'm at work.

In all my Oscar nonsense last night, I forgot to mention that I bought a Gamecube yesterday, along with Animal Crossing and Resident Evil 0.

Mmm Animal Crossing. That game is so addictive. And the worst part is, it is real time, so there is no reward for playing it hour after hour after hour - instead, you are rewarded for game play over an extended series of actual days, months, and hell, years. You have to wait for upgrades to your house (takes overnight), upgrades to the store (takes two days) and hell, even for mail order deliveries. The game is so out of the ordinary, its refreshing. Especially to have seen my bf's roomie going insane waiting for things, asking if there were ways to make time go faster, and in general freaking out over how slow game time was.

That real time element is what keeps me from playing it constantly, so its a perfect game for me. Resident Evil 0, however, is going to eat my life until I beat it. Gah.
