i was kept up quite late last night by some GIMP-ing of some postcards for an upcoming show in october. though, things were moving quite slow, and i had a case of writers block… long story short, i was noodling at my desk while waiting for inspiration to hit. though, instead of twiddling my thumbs, i was drumming them; somewhat loudly, i guess.

the knock at the door was, in a word, unpolished. it was, as anyone can guess, my downstairs neighbor coming to complain about the noise. while the hour wasn’t debatable (12:30am is a bit steep for any noise whatsoever), the amount of noise i was producing certainly was. follow these instructions:

1. place foot flat on ground
2. raise heel about an inch, whilst keeping toes and ball of foot securely on floor
3. lower heel with light force.

does this seem noise enough to condemn a man? nay. apologetic to the Nth degree, i explained i was in a flow and didn’t mean to be making that much noise and was very sorry to have woken her. to this, she replied, “oh.” and walked away.

in a confrontation (even a polite one), leave any vacant blank like this lady does and most people will fill it in with “bitch.”

super mario RPG was released on nintendo’s virtual console a week ago yesterday. this was the first rpg i had ever played, so there’s a lot of nostalgia flowing through my brain at this time and juncture. but, like viewing your 5-year-old version’s favorite movie, this are falling short. very, very short.

what i learned after this game had bitten me with the rpg bug, is that it’s a light-weight affair; not that much to manage, your inventory is only 30 items deep, not much in the way of customizable options, etc. everything is on a very, and i hate this fact since nintendo needs to shed this image, kid-friendly. though, the story is quite epic, things otherwise couldn’t really shake loose a short bus if it tried.

granted, the fact that this game got me into rpg’s really says something. and the fact that i followed the game up with the legendary chrono trigger can only make it seem a bit dwarfed in comparison. though, if you’ve never played, do dive in. it’s only $8.00 (800 points), and it’s well worth it given the scope of the story.
