I Didn't Realize You Were An Art Collector. I Thought You Just Collected Corpses

by Rainier on Jan. 5, 2010 @ 12:00 a.m. PST | Filed under MOTD

Man, was I tired today. For some reason, this weekend drained me, and all systems shut down this afternoon. I had to take a quick power nap. Before passing out, I wanted to play some CrimeCraft, but since the server was down for maintenance, I booted up Torchlight again, and that game sucked me in for hours again. Think I'll have to spend more time with it so I can properly level up my character.

Met up with one of our friends who recently moved out of state, and we of course had to re-celebrate the New Year with copious amounts of alcohol. *cheers*
