On another note, at a hospital near where I live a woman died of a deadly strain of this bacteria, specifically necrotizing faciitis (or something), with another man hospitalized. Five other patients were called back to be re-examined. All patients were in for minor day surgeries and contracted the disease from the hospital.

At university, I am the undisputed master at it. My skill with a green shell is unsurpassed. I can cause the most foul of exlamations with a perfectly placed banana on a bridge.
I thought my nephews would like it. I got it for them for Christmas. I went back to Liverpool. I returned over Easter, and played them at it. The elder, who is eight, destroyed me. He showed me short-cuts I never knew. He made me realised that Toad's kart is indeed the best. He seemed to be one with it.
I swore at him. Accidently. A lot.
(As if that's not bad enough, the 5 year old completed Wind Waker before me. Granted, he had help from his dad and older brother, but he's now on his third play through. I still haven't fully activated the master sword. I am ashamed.)

It isn't as though I haven't met a lot of people. Goodness knows it isn't that. It isn't just that... it isn't... it's... it's despicable.

And so you should be. Even *I* have completed Wind Waker, and I borrowed it. Along with the Cube. For a week. So there.
What university do you attend, anyway?

Apparently, it's the oldest redbrick university in the land. Which means something, I'm sure.
I could have completed Wind Waker, but I like to take my time, and explore everything. Plus I don't like playing it when I'm suppossed to be doing something (like dissertation), because I don't enjoy the game as much as I probably should.
Also, when I got the game, I had to play Ocarina first, since I'd never played it. So it was like, whoa, Zelda overload. Dude.

So you don't like playing games when you're supposed to be HARD AT WORK, but you do like reading Teen Titan episode reviews. Buh?
And you haven't experienced a Zelda overload until you've replayed the original NES and SNES titles in one straight go. On your PC. With an emulator. HARDCORE TO THE MAX DUDE!!

Because when I am reading the reviews, I still have Word open with my work in the background. Therefore, I am almost working.
To play Wind Waker, I'd have to change seats. Which is much more of a leap. You see?

No, because if you changed seats to play a game rather than open a browser window to read a review, Word would be left tantalizingly in the foreground, so you'd still be almost working. There is therefore no difference. You see?

But with the browsing, I'm only one click away from returning to work. Whereas the game playing would require both seat movement and monitor-turning-on. So, you see, big difference.
