Another Industrial Update and Katamari

Well, I've mostly stopped sleeping on it, which I did a few times just because I forgot and was asleep when I flipped over. It doesn't hurt anymore when it's not being tormented, and the top of my ear has gone back to having a normal sensation instead of the weird thing it was doing before, alternating between being numb and being crabby and painful. I can wiggle it without hurting, and I can actually slide the barbell back and forth without wincing or drawing blood. I have bonked it a few times when I'm just running my hands through my hair or whatever, a cute girl keeps laughing at me every time we're hanging out and I squeal after touching my ear, it makes it very hard to look suave.

The only issue I'm having with it now is a bump by the piercing on the edge of my ear. It's not painful, it's just a bump, and pretty common with cartilage piercings from what I understand. I want it to go away, just because I don't want a weird bumpy ear and because I have no idea if those things contribute to ear collapse. I've heard I'm supposed to put crushed advil in water on the bump and it will miraculously fade away. So hopefully that will work. Aside from that I think it's tremendous, and anyone who wants an industrial should get one.

I should also give you my review of We Love Katamari. I went to Futureshop this weekend and bought a Playstation 2, a newer version which is roughly the same size as a composition notebook with the blobby black and white pattern, and only slightly thicker. The playstation was on sale, but the fancy ass vibrating controllers were not, nor was the memory card. I'm not going to tell you how much it cost because I don't want to be mocked for buying a system I only want to play two games on.

Oh yeah, back to We Love Katamari.

Well, I didn't have high hopes for it, I guess I was too much in love with Katamari Damacy to expect more genius. But amazingly We Love Katamari exceeds the original in rolling fun. The plot is a little weaker, you don't have to remake the entire solar system, just throw a few stars and planets in the air to make life nicer. But the graphics are even cooler, the Prince has some wacky cousins that run around, and the music is really good and changes more than in the original depending on what level you're in. Also the ongoing story when levels are reached is a really cute one about the King of the Cosmos when he was a boy and his adversarial relationship with his father. Plus there's a two player game, but I haven't found my second player. I keep running upstairs yelling "Mum! Mum! Come play Katamari with me!" but she never comes.

So I guess I'll say We Love Katamari is definitely worth it, I'm already starting to get addicted.

I love non-violent video games, I must find more.
