Greedy Guts
My Amazon.com Wish List now has 130 items on it. And that is after weeding a lot out last week. I did have 160 items.

Alison and I have changed our spending habits so that every two weeks I get 20 dollars that must be spent according to Postagulous Family Gift Rules.

Gift Rules
1. Money cannot be spent on anything that can be eaten.
2. Money cannot be spent on paying bills.
3. Money cannot be spent on anything transitory, like seeing a movie.
4. That basically leaves clothes, books, videogames, and other solid objects which do not dissipate through eating, drinking, or using as deoderant or toothpaste, etc.

Only $20 Every Two Weeks Can Swamp A Gamer
So, with the newfound money which I could never justify spending on myself anyway but now is forced on me, I am picking up about one older Playstation game a week. Currently in transit is Armored Core 2 and Smuggler's Run 2. Each of those would take about a month of pre-fatherhood time to complete, or complete until I reached the level of my incompetence.

Armored Core is going to be a game that I more that likely will really like, but might just suck at. That's why I got 2, and not 2: Another Age, or Silent Line: Armored Core 2. Yes, there are at least three Armored Core 2's. There are two Smuggler's Run 2's also, but they are are on different systems and are basically the same game. But all those Armored Cores are different games entirely.

No One Likes You When Your 36
Hey, family et al, I'm about to turn 36 years old on the 18th. I've made a gift list for Alison which contains a few items that are on that Amazon gift list, and this is key, almost none of the games can be bought new anymore. They are old games. They might just cost $6 for a game that used to cost $50, but you'll have to depend on a shipper that's not Amazon and their amazing three day free shipping. Only 13 shopping days left.

Ooh, I am a greedy guts. (Puts on hair shirt, flail flail flail.)
