Level Orange

Seeing as how I’m so busy that I’m averaging about one entry a month, I figured I’d better make this one count. Because not only will I be taking a much-needed vacation in a couple of weeks, but my birthday is also coming up. It’s that saddening-yet-oh-so-wonderful trifecta of September 11th (we all know that date, I’m sure), September 12th (my birthday) and September 13th (exactly one year since I started my job at America’s greatest anime magazine). So with that, I intend to spend the 11th counting my blessings, the 12th celebrating what new treasures life will bring me, and the 13th… well, let’s just say I’ll be off from work that day.

With my wonderful blessings and vacation already in place, that only leaves me to determine what treasures I could possibly receive this year. It’s not always easy thinking of things that you’d like to have, but I’ll give it a try.

Um…

Uh…

DADDY NEEDS A NEW PAIR OF SPEAKERS!

That’s the best way I can put it. Now that I’ve completely blown out the front door speakers in my car, I’m sick of listening to what remains of them rattling and popping as I drive down the road. There’s not much I can do to get around it either. I’ve tried adjusting the fader controls to move the sound to the back speakers, but since they primarily provide the low-end, everything sounds like it’s coming from behind a pillow or something.

DADDY NEEDS A NEW PAIR OF SPEAKERS!

Not a fancy DVD player, GPS navigation system or even satellite radio, just two speakers. Good ones at that. They need to be able to handle quite a bit of business, because that’s what they’re gonna get. I don’t like to mess around when it comes to cranking it up.

This will require some fine product from CARTOYS, Mobile-One or even Best Buy. Accept nothing less, right? So if you know me and are pondering what you should decide to give me this year, let’s stick to the previously-mentioned items above, eh?

And with this, I’ll promise to make more unnecessary demand of my time and energy to bring meaningless and nonsensical content to you on a consistent basis. If I can, I’ll try to sprinkle something meaningful on occasion.
