Dr. Mario Online Mother Fuckers!

When I first moved in to the Malden, four-man Dr. Mario Battle Royales were on the menu for breakfast, lunch and dinner. I plan to D/L as soon as I clear some more space. Let’s bring back a Malden tradition.

*UPDATE*

First off, the download is only 93 blocks which was a relief for me. There’s no 4 player, online or off. Kind of a bummer. Online is smooth though and the matches link up pretty quick. Beware many of the Japanese players, they’ve had the game for awhile now and they will make your ranking and your tears fall in a hurry.

Then and Now

It’s 4 in the morning and I’m sitting at work watching other people sleep. With the resurgence of this blog, I find myself missing the Malden. Sure, it was a cramped, cat infested, often smelly apartment with the most god awful carpet in the city, but it was our home for two years and life was good.

So let’s compare my life then and now, shall we?

1. I worked days back then, which I loved, but I hated my job.
2. I lived in a cramped, windowless room; now a cramped room surrounded by windows.
3. I helped take care of cat named Oscar. Now I help take care of a human named Kat.
4. I would drink and watch wrestling. Now I find myself drinking and watching Rock of Love II.

Huh, I guess things haven’t changed that much?

A Moment To Remember Our Former Landlord.

I think all of us remember the funny old man who wore rainbow suspenders (often with no shirt) and once raised our rent and then forgot about it.

Then there was his kinder moments. Where he taught the man who took over our old apartment to take responsibility for one’s own actions.

And just when you thought you heard the last of him, he reminds us: He sure knows how to pick a tenet.
