Back from NYC
I had a great long weekend in New York visiting mom. I made the most of the chance to play on her PS3 (costing over $900 in Europe, there's no chance of me getting one of my own any time soon), and although the high definition graphics and Blu-Ray were beautiful, it's still clear that it doesn't yet have games that live up to the standard set by the PS2 games we had on hand (viz. Final Fantasy XII and God of War II). We also saw Monty Python's Spamalot, which I loved, and even the Simpsons movie, which was a great bonus as I didn't think would still be showing in theatres. (I hadn't seen it in France since it was only available dubbed, and comedy loses a lot that way, especially when they change/omit jokes they think people wouldn't get!)
Add to all that some delicious meals (and some great restaurants, but mom's own cooking was the best) and great weather, and it was a wonderful trip (if short, but I couldn't leave Emilie all alone in France for too long).
