Addition to my humble abode

I made a major purchase yesterday. And when I say major, it's because I have only the bare essentials for my apartment. And I only buy items for my place after I've thought about it for a loooooong time and ONLY IF I'M FULLY SATISFIED with the item. I have one couch, one recliner, one coffee table, one bed, one TV, one desk, one office chair, one dining set. I also have a gas grill and cooler, but that's because my dad forced me to buy it in Germany when he was visiting. My kitchen cabinets are not stuffed with special platters or fancy cooking gadgets. I eat on crappy dishes but with quality utensils. And okay, to be completely honest, I inherited a 900 pound piano which I desperately need to donate to some church or something.

My place has been described as "minimalist," and I agree 100%. That's how I like it--clutter-free. I like to see vast amounts of carpet/tile when I walk out of a room and into another. I'm not a big fan of colorful curtains, wall deco, or candle holders. Sure, those things are pretty, but I'm just plain lazy to appreciate it fully. But more so, plain lazy to dust them.

Getting back to my major purchase. I bought a PlayStation 2. (Not 3, because excuse me, that's $400! Plus I really don't see the big deal about blue-ray DVDs.)

The urge to own my own console (not to be confused with camisole), began after I played Galaga at my new Chamorro friend's house. They broke out the Namco Museum, and I was re-hooked to the game. I have no interest in purchasing other games, unless of course Contra comes out for PS2.

So who wants to come over for a non-stop fun game of Galaga?
