I had fully intended on writing a real update today – which is actually in progress and will be coming later – but several weird things happened between the time I left my house and I arrived at work, and they deserve an update of their own:

There was a hobo in the Stanley Park Causeway looking very much like he was telling the trees that if they liked it, they should have put a ring on it – I swear to god he was doing the Beyonce dance at the trees and raccoons, and it was fucked up.

An electric scooter, going north, leading a congregation of pissed off cars and busses: GET OFF THE ROAD, YOU JACKASS

I found Mystery Apple Juice in the elevator this morning, hidden in the crusty folds of the padding. It was a full can, too – if I didn’t kind of hate apple juice, I would have stolen it.

(this didn’t happen this morning, but it doesn’t deserve its own update) I think I might hate Kingdom Hearts 358/2. I’m 11 hours into it and haven’t the foggiest idea why I’m doing the stupid things I’m doing. I was really hoping it was going to be like the original Kingdom Hearts, with the Disney characters and levels based on Disney worlds. Instead, I am having serious ‘Nam flashbacks to Final Fantasy X. I had JUST forgiven Square Enix for that, based on the strength of last year’s The World Ends With You – the last thing I need is to be reminded of how much I HATED Final Fantasy X and how angry it made me. Even playing the hilarious side game of “Who Has the Stupidest Hair” isn’t doing anything for me. I haven’t touched my DS in a few days, so I’ll give it another chance before I toss it the yuck pile – but it’s going to have to do something pretty amazing to pull me from the brink of dissatisfaction.

On the upside, it’s giving me a wicked urge to play Kingdom Hearts again.
