Really, I was all desperation and angst. I was shuffling between $150 eBay cables, paperclips and I even ONCE contemplated the unthinkable. The abyss stared back.

Shudder.

Now I just have to wait patiently for my 2-3 delivery. The tracking number isn't working right now, but that's probably because I just got the notification in my email of the shipment about four hours ago. I - WAIT A SECOND!

Is this all my fault? Did I do this? Not through force of infrequent blogging, but did I believe hard enough in The Fat Guy with a Drum that he came to life and beat the poor fanboys that sleep under the floorboards of Nintendo factories worldwide into getting me my cables a couple weeks early? Oh my god... what have I done? What have I DONE?!

Okay, now I feel guilty. I wasn't serious about The Fat Guy with a Drum! Oh man... The Ninty employees are gonna gang up on me now and hire Mario "The Hitman" to rub me out just like another goomba. Ouch. 100 points for my head doesn't sound like a fair price. I just hope he doesn't use the plunger - especially not in the face.
