I moved. It was a disaster. Let me tell you about it!
Everything was going fine, really, until we broke a water pipe and almost flooded the building. Props to the apartment management for placing our water shutoff valve safely out of human reach and for having the emergency maintenance crew located in the next county. It's only thanks to ![[info]](http://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif) masterhibb's ingenuity, height, and handiness with a pipe wrench that a lot of our stuff wasn't ruined.
That whole ordeal effectively took the wind out of our sails and made the move take about twice as long as it should have. In all, though, we only had to stay awake for 24 hours straight this time, unlike the 36-hour freakout hell ride that was our last move. Improvement! Many, many, many thanks to everyone who helped us -- it would've been impossible without your help, and I really appreciate it.

| No More Heroes: A Review |
[Apr. 9th, 2009|01:40 pm] |
You know, the thing about these tough economic times is that there's not much money to go around. You should save your money, because the economy's not doing too well, and money is tight.
During these tough economic times, it can be good to forget about money and play a video game. On the other hand, a game needs to be good, because $60 is a lot of money in these tough economic times. But thanks to these tough economic times, developers may not have enough money to make a game good enough to be worth $60 in these tough economic times.
Developers are certainly feeling the economic pinch in this economy of tough economic times. The economic pressure is on, and it can be tough for some. Except for Nintendo, who is tougher than these tough economic times and is making a lot of tough money off of tight budgets and tough consumers.
The other day, I was playing No More Heroes. I was on my third try at the second-ranked assassin mission when I thought to myself, "Man, these economic times sure are tough. I'm glad I'm playing this economically friendly game, which I bought for 20 tough American dollars, instead of some other game that busts the tough eco-bank at $60." Overall, I'd give it a 9 out of 10.
In conclusion, these tough economic times may be tough, but if you can tough it out, you might tough the tough tough times economic tough.
