Although with how I feel right now, it’s more of a short-bus special than the good kind of special.

Don’t worry, nothing new and exciting has happened, just the usual deep intense sleep where I wake up with the sheets soaked in sweat (seriously, today it was almost a lake) that leaves me feeling all fried and tired and disconnected from reality and out of phase and blah blah blah. Whatever. I bore myself with my own pain.

I had one of those dreams where I wake up in the hospital with tubes and wires stuck in me everywhere and under restraint again. Those, to put it mildly, are VERY VERY BAD. They are the worst kind of nightmare because they represent my worst fears (being helpless and immobile and completely dependent on others) and they are too fucking plausible. With my various health issues, it’s entirely possible that I could go to sleep and wake up in the hospital in bad shape. I could lay down for a normal nap, and suffer a horrible blood sugar crash, and a roomie discovers me in a bad bad way and dials 911, and boom, there I am, in my worst fucking nightmare.

Screw you, Fringe, for keep having this happen to Olivia (and Fauxlivia) and thus keeping this thought alive and twitching in the already cluttered minefield of fear and neurosis that I call my mind.

Been looking to trade Wii games with someone, as I can’t afford a new Wii game this month and well, I am between games now. I beat Okami (awesome freaking game, loved everything about it except for the Mother Fucking Konohana Shuffle), and so I am officially without a new game to play. Although, as a testament to how made of industrial strength awesome the game is, I am now going through it a second time and quite enjoying myself in the process. It’s not as good as a new game, but it’ll do for now.

I want to trade one on one because that will get me way more value than going to some place like Gamestop which will only give me a pittance on trade-ins. At a place like that, I would probably have to trade in every single one of my games to get one new game. With a one on one trade, I might well get… well, a one to one trade, a game for a game.

It just makes sense.

However, the entry I posted to the Vancouver livejournal community got absolutely no response, and I was thinking of trying the vancouver craigslist next, but for some reason, I just decided to Google “trading wii games” or somesuch and found this potentially intriguing site which promises to make the whole thing easy.

It’s a site called Goozex (seriously, does nobody say these stupid website names out loud before naming them? It sounds like a porn site for German people who REALLY enjoyed The Blob) Basically, you tell them what you want and what you have, and they find a trading partner for you. It all works through the mail, and for their part in it, Goozex charges you $1.99, so in essence, you get a new game for two dollars plus the postage to send your game to your trading partner.

Not bad! I mean, I am pondering the whole trust thing, where I have to stick one of my beloved games in the mail and just trust that my trade partner will do the same thing, but I will probably eventually decide to go for it. I have a postal outlet next door, and so mailing stuff off is super easy.

I probably won’t risk my favorite games the first time though!

Well, time for me to wash all that damn flop sweat off my filthy body and go off to good old ABC Country Kitchen with my friends for dinner. I think I will skip the burgers and go for the pot roast straight up tonight.

Because I loves me some pot roast. I just love super-rich beef dishes like that, especially with some taters and some good veggies. Steaks are great, but give me pot roast and I am a happy carnivore.

Until the next time I am too tired and fried to think of an actual article to write, let alone write one, and so I just yammer at you nice folks about my thrilling action packed life, this is your humble genius writer, signing off. Please remember, only you can prevent forest fires. No pressure.
