Well my beautiful gorgeous shiny Japanese high-tech gaming-god unexpectedly friggin DIED a few days ago.

...uh, I'm talking about the Playstation3. Yeah, it got the "yellow light of death" and I'm really pissed because the warranty ran out and it'll cost $150 to fix it. PS3s supposedly have a 1% failure rate...I mean it's part of the reason why I didn't get a "shitbox"360. BUT THEN IT GOES AND DIES ON ME. I'm SO pissed.

On the bright side though, now there's nothing to distract me from my linoleum print. I have so far spent about 20 hours carving the black outline and I'm STILL not done. My hand hurts.

Okay, and also, I went to an aunt's house for 4th of July.... She goes to Japan a lot, collects things.... She gave me one of those clay tanuki statues...they're really cute.... BUT it wasn't until I got home that I realized there was something a little...strange about it. At first I thought the statue was sitting on a bean bag or something...or a furry...I DUNNO but THEN I REALIZED HE JUST HAD HUGE TESTICLES. I'M NOT KIDDING. LOOK!!! [link] ISN'T THAT...I DUNNO...THE JAPANESE ARE WEIRD. ISN'T THAT WEIRD?!?!?! THEY SELL THESE THINGS ALL OVER THE PLACE IN JAPAN. I bet if we did that here in the U.S. there would be a HUGE outrage. lol I guess it's supposed to symbolize wealth...? I looked it up and I guess it's supposed to be humorous too...haha...I love Japan....
