A few points regarding the Sega Mega Drive, my humors and a possible trip to YOUR country, the United States of America, in 2009
So yeah, I'm in a mood from hell. I'm not really at liberty to explain why I'm so pissed off, since it involves several people's private lives, but MAN, I AM PISSED OFF.
To cheer myself up, I bought a MEGA DRIVE! I've been playing Sonic and Knuckles all day. Those were the days, I tell you.
Anyways, it's possible that I'll be visiting the States at some point in the next month. I'll probably go to Tennessee to visit Robbie, whom some of you will remember as my pal when I was living in Oxford back in 2007.
I may also go farther west than that. In fact, I'd love to go to California or someplace equally legendary, to see if all the babes really do have bleached blonde hair and fake tits, if for nothing else.
Mirka has kindly offered me a place to stay in SF, where they train psychoanalysts, and since that's probably going to be my future profession, I should probably check that out.
I'd like to go to visit Eddy if I can, since he and I get along well. And maybe meet a few of you, whom I haven't had the displeasure to share a meal with.
Nate, I will come visit you if I can, as well.
Anyways, that is all.
Spartan art is the real made hysterical.
Oh, cool, that would be a grand time. I'll let you guys know if I end up making it there.

I might could make a special bike trip up to SF for a day, depending on your time frame and such. Of course, if you wander down south to LA, I will show you all of the hives, dens,barrows and warrens of fake-titted bleach blonde plasti-women.

i always picture a bicycle first, then think "wow that's a long way", then mentally fix it and say "oh yeah that's probably fine."
That's not Sonic and Knuckles. That's Sonic and Tails.
THIS IS THE HAPPIEST TALE EVER TOLD EVER.
Two blondes walked into a train track. Between the two of them, you'd think they'd--
I'm gonna be all over the place next month, so I'm sure there's the chance we could run into each other and sing hoppin' jamz together.
this is why we don't have nice things.
You can stay at my place if you come down to San Diego.

I'm actually gonna be out Eddy's way in early August. Don't know if that coincides, but if so, word to ya mutha.
Join the Non-Violent Evolution!
I'm in TN. but I'll actually be in CT during August. Have a fun and safe trip.
this is communication.
My country is your country, as is my couch. I hope to meet you, Phil! But I live in Oakland, not San Francisco. I work in San Francisco. 
I do not know which to prefer,
The beauty of inflections
Or the beauty of innuendos,
The blackbird whistling
Or just after.
Dammit, google maps failed me. "We could not calculate directions between Warwick, UK and Oakland, CA."

That's not Sonic and Knuckles. That's Sonic and Tails.
That's a picture of Sonic and Tails, but don't forget the Sonic and Knuckles cartridge utilized "lock-on technology," allowing you to play variations of the previous titles.
this is communication.
Sonic 2, not Sonic and Tails. But yeah, definitely could be locked-on Sonic and Knuckles. The Mega-Drive was called the Genesis stateside, and I just brought mine back to my apartment a few months ago. Really, any video games made after that were superfluous.
Anywhoozle, you're probably not passing through Florida, are you? It's really not on the way to anywhere, except the Gulf and Cuba. But yeah, if you wind up nearby we'll get a meal and have a nice, pretentious conversation, yeah?
If you put fried rice on top of a pizza, then eat the whole thing and a liter of coke to yourself, naked, I'm pretty sure that's helly close to liberation.
I've only ever played the first sonic game. SO i got no idea who tails or Knuckles are.
Ha! I've never played ANY of the Sonic games! Conformist fools!

you were all over that Tails/Knuckles thing awfully quick.
I wouldn't make a special trip to Minnesota just for me. Not a lot to do here, really. But maybe i can get out of here for a while and meet you at a place more interesting.
I think i'm going to Portland next month, so maybe i can meet you on the west coast.
If you come to Canada... ahh fuck it, no one's ever coming to Canada.
I might be going to Canadia within the next six months. Winnipeg is where my friend lives, i think. Where are you up there?
Southwestern Ontario.
You might be almost directly north of me if the map of Canadia i just looked at is correct.
If you come to Canada... ahh fuck it, no one's ever coming to Canada.
I might be moving to Canada within the next year or so. There's a guy in my department who has some links with some academics in Vancouver and he might be able to hook me up.

When in beautiful Tennessee, be sure to visit The Apple Barn. Great resturant where everything on the menu is made from apples!
