Super Punch-Out!! is pretty cheap. Curse you, Hoy Quarlow! Who lets an old Chinese man box…and with the help of a staff?
Last day of long sleep and late nights. Another incredibly stupid, teeth-grindingly boring semester starts tomorrow.
Thankfully my valuable, prestigious Twitter account was not hacked in the recent rash of e-terrorism. Or was it? DUN DUN DUN.
Commissioner Gordon is dead. →
How many times can I say “The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford” before passing out? Maybe I should just watch it.
