Waiting for Alice




So here I am contemplating my life and wondering if I spend too much of it playing videogames. I mean, I could be writing a novel or curing cancer or parting the Red Sea. You know, something productive. And since summer vacation started a week ago it's just gotten even worse. But I'm gonna change. I'm gonna make some sort of schedule to keep my rapidly immobile hikikomori lifestyle from giving me a pulled heart or maybe even killing me. So like when I wake up, I'm going to go jog for a couple miles. Come home and read for a couple of hours. Catch up on some anime. Then I'm gonna play vidoegames for like 12 straight hours. Maybe eat a fruit rollup somewhere in there. I mean, this schedule sounds like it has just the right balance of activity and non-activity to me. Maybe I could start a whole new youth movement called "Get Up Off Your Ass Motherfucker!" that could change kid's lives. It's a possibility!

But anyway, back to Alice. So I'm getting Alice: Madness Returns delivered today. Unfortunately, it's UPS, you know, "What Can Brown Do For You?", delivering my package. Let me just say this straight up: My UPS delivery dude sucks. Completely sucks. When I get packages delivered he does one of three things:

1. Doesn't even knock and leaves package on the porch
2. Knocks one time, yells "UPS" and runs back to his truck
3. Throws my fucking package from the 1st floor landing up to the porch of my 2nd floor apartment

So I'm kinda curious which of these three things will happen today. I'm bettting #2.  If I'm really bored maybe I'll get in a fight with him. Probably not. I don't want to be wounded once I get Alice. From reviews I've read, game journalists aren't very excited about Alice. But who cares? They're not real people. Here's the official website of the game: http://www.ea.com/alice
