And why am I still up you so unwisely ask.

That�s because I said fuck it last night. I got some cash I want to play a new video game badly.

A task so much easier for me to do since my next door neighbors have a station wagon now and have no problems lending it to me at times.

So I headed out to rent a Play Station 2 and a few games. Knowing full well I needed to hit a bank machine first in order to have enough money to do this.

Now did I remember to hit the bank machine first?

Nah that might be, I don�t know, productive and shit.

So instead my brain chooses to remember it only after I had the machine in hand and the games I wanted to play. Well just as I�m about to reach the counter it hits me, no money in my pocket.

Ah it�s a good thing it was a slow night that night. The cashier of hotness, yes they do weekdays too, was more then willing to hold it all for me till I got back from the bank.

While getting the money I was realizing the price for the machine and two games for five nights was a pretty high price. It was a grand total of twenty five bucks.

Hmmm but if I get there fifty percent off for a month that only cost ten bucks.

Ah you just gotta love getting the same thing you originally where planning, but take advantage of a deal and come out with it for a lesser price and a bonus of everything half off for thirty days.

Yeah..ok that did make sense. Sorry, but I�m so tired right now I think I can feel the grey matter of my brain leaking out my ears.

Complete mush, my brain that is. So if you are expecting something witty, intelligent, or funny then you�ve come to the wrong diary on the wrong day.

Now one of the games I rented is called Silent Hill 2.

For those of you unaware of this game, let me enlighten you a bit.

It�s what the game industry calls a �survival horror� game. IE meaning it�s meant to scare the living shit out of you with nasty creatures and plenty walking undead.

And let me tell ya for the scary factor this game takes the cake. Not only does it take the cake, but it spits all over it then eats in front of you just to gross you out.

Knowing full well how scary this game is I still couldn�t resist turning out all the lights and living by the glow of the television. Making sure the volume was up plenty enough so when the music suddenly kicks in it gives you a little jolt.

Oh, you think I�m a big wuss when this game creeps my shit out do you?

Yeah tell it to this guy who�s little girl voice in his head whimpered to me �keep all the fuckin lights on.�

Seriously I need to listen to that little girl voice in my head more often, but the damn thing is always preoccupied by lesbian porn.

See that fifty percent off club is not always good.

Anyways I need to go save my game and hit the bed. Now that it�s light the game just won�t be the same then.
