yesterday, while checking game stop for rez, i saw that zwan was realeasing their first album. well, it was after i found out that they didn't have rez, while i walked back to the T station. while reading around on the internet last night, i noticed that there was a smashing pumpkins live album i haven't heard. since i've not heard a single person say smashing pumpkins was good live, i wanted to hear for myself (since that boat has long since sailed).
also, i had decided i wanted to pick up the the sims for ps2, since i hear the online one sucks, and the original is either win32 or "classic" macos (which i don't have on my laptop). also it looked like the graphics suck for the original version. i had a dream about the sims last night (before i had even played it) but it had some aspects of XBill in it - the avatars had a little computer icon below their name.
so, since my parents got me a best buy gift certificate for christmas, i figured i'd stop by there and pick up these three items, and maybe a new copy of caustic window compilation because mine is really scratched. when i got there, they didn't have a copy of the sims, but they did have a copy of SEGA SPORTS TENNIS for ps2, at half the price of what i paid last week.
miraculously, i was able to return my (previously) used SEGA SPORTS TENNIS and pick up the sims at game spot, and get the cheaper SEGA SPORTS TENNIS and smashing pumpkins / zwan albums at best buy. so, all in all, i think i came out on top.
so far, the sims is pretty fun. even my roommate seems to enjoy watching me play it, and he didn't even get to see me making out with my girlfriend. well, i think she is my girlfriend. there is a little heart by her icon, and i dream about her. the one thing the sims really could use is weekends, but maybe it would be too easy with that. it seems to be a really common wish on the internet.
as for the zwan album, i've listened to it once, and i didn't fall in love with it. i did notice that the songs are probably fun to play, and they seem a bit more upbeat than a lot of pumpkins songs, so i guess that's a good thing for mr. corgan.
also, did anyone notice apple slipped the iLife/iDVD release? it was supposed to come out on either the 25th or 28th, but is now slated for "soon."
