Simple update
I've been slacking off again when it comes to LJing, but here are the major points of my life recently:

• Had fun over Winter Break with my honey Kristin, dependable gaming friends and family as well
  
• Got a Sidekick II as an awesome present from Dad, but T-Mobile deleted all my data so no matter how well I know you, I probably lost your contact info. Please post it in a comment here if I haven't already gotten it from you!
  
• Got many awesome games from friends and family and pocket money... I'm happily very busy with games like Shadow of the Colossus, Prince of Persia: The Two Thrones and We Love Katamari. If JJ is sitting over their shaking his head, he should know that I also brought Lunar to UCSB :-P
  
• Built my killer PC that can play anything out there on the highest graphical settings with 6X AA, 16X AS and better than decent framerate. If specs are asked for, they will be posted. I just don't like to brag much :-P All I care about is seeing things like that HL2: Lost Coast demo in all their HDR glory. Have to say tho, HDR pulls my framerate WAY down to noticable levels. Can't be perfect I guess.
  
• To my great sadness, went back to UCSB for the rest of the year... gonna miss you people, but I guess this is a good opportunity to get back in touch with some UCSB friends - if I can find them w/o their contact info...
  
• Lost all my email (I think) making it hard to contact people in Japan who emailed me and such... hopefully I'll get them back soon.
  
• Spent a shitload of time working thru UCSB's new internet logon policy... you not only have to install this Cisco Clean Access Agent program they're using now and revalidate every week, but it sends you through this runaround to make sure your computer has all its updates and viruscan and such... apparently SP1 isn't good enough for them, so I had to install SP2. Here's hoping nothing screws up on this new machine of mine.
