The Pitch: It's like The End meets The Sorrow!  

Yes, after a certain amount of trauma, the new monitor has arrived. It seems pretty keen and I'm looking forward tomoving it into position, but at the moment, I've got two computers on my desk, side-by-side, and laboriously copying files from one to the other. I'm in the home stretch, however: just an assload of pictures, maybe a few more music files, and this new computer will be ready to take over (provided I can get all of its problems with my palm pilot and USB hub taken care of). The great thing about new monitors is they are their own juicy little product: I could hook it up to the old computer and pretend I've got a hot new and competent computer. Sadly, I'd just be pretending.

I'm stuck on the final battle for Metal Gear Solid 3--a ten minute duel with the boss in this glade of pale gorgeous flowers. As the two of you run about and hi-yah each other, petals are displaced and spin into the air. It's lovely, silly, and sad, just like you'd want from a Japanese video game.

Ooops. my USB card is filled up. Gotta get back to the tedium that is file transfer. More, I hope, later.
