Is anything happening tomorrow? I just finished a 13 hour shift at work and I'm just itching for some smash before the next semester starts.

Can't be any more illegal than Tim Hortons making you do 8 hours on your feet with only two 15 minute breaks.

My job had a lot of sitting and I got an hour of break paid, so it wasn't that bad.

Hey Kyle, I wonder if you might be available to host tomorrow?

eh...at rogers video i get a half hour break for an 8-hour shift (also nowhere to sit). i think that's just a retail thing. it's the working for more than 8 hours i'm wondering about.

not tomorrow, that's too short notice. but sometime in the near future, i think so.

it's because it was a basketball tournament fri-sat this weekend, and today was all day. I'm on events crew at my school for basketball/volleyball. I do like score/stats-keeping and stuff like that.

can they be things we don't actually intend to do? cause then mine would be to become proficient with jigglypuff's dair. it's really easy to hit with part of it, so if you could l-cancel it correctly every time, you could get easy grabs, uptilts, even rests out of it. but the timing is awkward and i don't wanna learn to use it.

that and off the stage gimping. falco pretty much dies when he has to recover. uhh...i might be having people over sometime next week, you should come to that. (assuming you're not overly busy with school by that point)

edit: i downloaded an NES emulator and started playing a bunch of the old mega man games =) honestly though, mega man 2, so far, is not very hard. even AIRMAN didn't pose much of a challenge.

double edit: oh yeah, clarification: i have never played this game before.

lol yeah, i am by no means good at that game. but it was more fun for me to use save states. i figured that it would just be an issue of me trying it over and over till i got it...so a measure of patience rather than skill, to get it only once. and i didn't have the patience.
