Four Whom the Bell Tolls

• Fact: I got a Playstation 3 for Christmas. Despite the lofty price tag (which you can google so I don’t blush), the Playstation 3 isn’t the most expensive video game system of all time; the first and second place honors would go to the 1993 3DO ($700) and the 1990 NeoGeo ($650) respectively. I’m a nerd, I know (this is a fact).
• Opinion: I’m still in that post-Xmas pre-New Year’s funk, where I’m too overgifted to play with my presents and too stupid to realize that I should play with them before I go back to school. Speaking of which, I’m going to need to downsize academically next semester; before this fall, I had never worked so hard for so little.
• Song: “Charango”, by Morcheeba, on the album “Charango”. This song is like a musical Reese’s Peanut Butter Cup (“You’ve got your rap in my electronica!” “You’ve got your electronica in my rap!”): delicious. Granted, this confection already has a name (trip-hop), but Morcheeba increases the dosage for both ingredients with the help of rapper Pace Won. If “Charango” doesn’t satisfy, 1. You Suck, and 2. Try “Women Lose Weight”, a fucking awesome track with Slick Rick talking about killing his wife because she’s too fat. That’s edutainment!
• Link: Seeing as how I’ve already tagged this post under “Video Games” and “I’m a Nerd”, bragged about my PS3, and actually used the phrase “musical Reese’s Peanut Butter Cup”, I’m just going to give up on appearing well-adjusted altogether. Here’s a link with every video game console evar for your edification.
