So, I pre-ordered Dead Rising 2 off Amazon.com way back when. As a pre-order bonus from Amazon I was supposed to get codes for Dead Rising 2 Avatar items: Chuck Greene's jacket and a Servbot mask as well as $10 credit on your next video game purchase from Amazon. Awesome, right? Who wouldn't want to sport a Servbot mask on his or her Avatar? And the $10 just makes it all the sweeter. Well, for one reason or another, there was a delay in getting out the codes to the people who pre-ordered the game. Why? Miscommunication with Capcom or something, details are sketchy. Anyway, a week or two after the game was released there was still no sign of the code. To apologize for the inconvenience Amazon gave out an additional $10 bonus credit to those who pre-ordered the game so now I had $20 credit for my next video game purchase. Fast forward to today. Still no word on these Avatar codes. Today I got an e-mail from Capcom saying that the codes have been delayed indefinitely. Looks like I'll never get my Avatar items... it's a bummer, but wait, there's a bright side! And boy is this bright side bright. To apologize for the disappointment Amazon let me have 50% off the 360 version of Marvel vs. Capcom 3. That's right! 50% off! And with this, the $20 store credit, and picking the free shipping (takes a couple more days) I have just scored myself a pre-order on Marvel vs. Capcom 3 for $8.99. Not a bad trade off for a couple Avatar items, huh?

So, I need to decide what I want to do with my life. Problem is, I haven't a clue. I was supposed to go a new school this semester and I did, but I wound up hating it so much I dropped out to rethink things. I haven't come any closer to rethinking anything. I can't find a school that feels right for me and, though I have an Associate's Degree in graphic arts, I really don't want to do that. But changing my major now would basically be like starting from square one, which I also don't want to do. I can't stay here forever, I know that, but I just have no clue what I want to do. I'M SO LOST!
