This year, Sesame Street turns 40. I have been watching this children's TV show called Sesame Street when I was seven. Maybe they want to put a timeline of Sesame Street. Also, the Amazon Conduit on Vox has been fixed, so I will be buying my own domain blog without having to surf the internet again. The use of cursing, that's not good, you can view this.
On this Vox post, three Little Einsteins pack kicks in:
I have so much to read and so little time... Books piling up for school and for my personal reading. I wish I could read faster.
I read a poem last night at Revolution Books, I really like being there. I love having a space downtown where I can escape the university environment I am beginning to hate. It's hard to imagine my goal of being in graduate school for several more years. I am very tired of the institution and the focus of it all, the goals of the university. I feel like it is turning most of the students into useless office workers that will be victim to the oppressive capitalist system. I want to escape it so badly, but each day it gets harder and harder to see beyond the dollar signs. A creative career is a terribly rare thing.
Sometimes I just want to shut myself up into my room and forget the rest of the world. Well, sometimes I do exactly that.
I promised I would spend next Tuesday night with someone who destroys me and drains me, so I am about to face a trying week. I am spending tonight with Ryu, looking forward to seeing him, but I have some things to do in the meantime. I am preparing myself, reading and getting ahead before Tuesday and the subsequent empty days it will cause.
There's a tournament this weekend I wanted to travel to, but it seems unlikely I'll make it now with friends in tow. My good friend Jon guesstimated it would cost about $40 per person. So four people altogether would've ran about $160 bucks in gas for both ways? Wait, what the hell? How does that add up? I spent about $50 alone for my trip to Dallas, which is about equal distance...something's afoot here...
Sigh. I seriously need a car that's well-tuned and a little bit more reliable.
So Bakemonogatari 13 came out this week, and lo and behold the fansubbers were all over it. Not even a day after it's online stream, people had subtitles ready to go. Gotta love that dedication!
I still need to get back to work on that Sket Dance translation. Been putting it off for far too long since Tekken 6 came out...

4Gamer.net ― 「鉄拳6」の各要素をゲーマガ編集部が紹介。PS3版とXbox 360版のロード時間なども検証してみた（鉄拳6）
PS3 load times (installed vs uninstalled) are pretty significant. Like 20 to 30 seconds significant. And the Xbox360 gets the better end of the stick too!
was walking home and saw this
The question I have right now is, "was it rushed?" Most certainly not one would believe, but after playing Scenario Campaign mode and the much-anticipated Online mode, I was dismayed and bewildered. Granted I don't play fighting games for the story so I didn't have any absurdedly high expectations for Scenario mode but Online mode? What the hell happened here?
Nothing beats playing someone in person but I was hoping to at least be able to play some old Tekken friends over the online mode. Unfortunately I couldn't even play my friend who lives in the same city as me due to horrible synching problems. If I can handle playing Resident Evil 5 and Street Fighter IV worldwide, why can't I enjoy Tekken in my own region?
At least a patch is on the way.
Modes aside, Tekken 6 is the best incarnation of the franchise yet. With a slew of new moves and gameplay tweaks abound, Tekken remains the undisputed king of balanced fighting. Even the joke characters can stand their ground with a slew of much-needed attacks that round out their already impressive repetoire of shenanigans. Namco probably also heard the fans decries of previous versions, and super nerfed the typically strongest characters in the game: the Mishima family. They're just terrible to play now, albeit still unquestionably solid.
In short, tl;dr, buy the game if you're a hardcore Tekken fan. Buy it if you enjoy 3D games and have a reasonable amount of friends to butt heads with. Just don't buy it expecting anything too terribly philosophic. Remember, masher and master are only a single letter apart.
Red lines, black lines
White drop back drop
Take a picture, this moment lasts forever.
In the security of night, I have nothing to fear,
Hold me close, my dear,
Your body allows me
To leave this city,
You aren’t really here.
Carefully you
Take everything I contain,
Swallowing,
I refrain from saying
No,
You aren’t allowed to do so.
Sorry I
never shut up.

Since Chiyo's almost 7 weeks old and my body has mostly recovered from labour, I'm going to start Pilates. I'm also hoping to join some other activity so that I don't die of loneliness since I still don't know many people in our new city. I'm sure that will come, but it takes more effort to make friends once you've had a baby, and I've got major issues with getting out of the house before Chiyo pukes/needs to be changed/is hungry again. :-). It's also getting colder and winter is clearly on the way.
