I know it's a little late, but yesterday, March 10th, was Mario Day! Why? Because it's March 10th! You know, Mar. 10th! You know, Mar.10! You know, Mar10! You know, Mario!

Sorry, that's just the best way I know (through text) to explain where Mario Day comes from. Did you do anything special to celebrate?

I re-discovered Mario Kart Wii, and the fact that I think it's my favorite entry in the series. Later tonight, I'm going to spend some quality time with Mario Galaxy, though somewhat ironically, I'll be playing as Luigi... but hey, his last name is Mario!

This little shindig has certainly rekindled my love of the Mario universe, all the wacky characters and fun adventures I've grown up loving. It just creates such a warm fuzzy feeling in my soul. Sure, I might spend more of my gaming time on my 360 nowadays, but nothing can replace that Nintendo magic, of which Mario is the master wizard.

On the 9th, I played a full hour of Mario music on the campus radio station during my block. And I did all the announcements in my best Mario voice, which occasionally seeped into a Jar Jar voice.

I just realized that my birthday is one day after Mario Day.

I just realized that the 11th is PL's birthday.

Congrats on not dying for another year! You're officially not younger than me for the next 8.5 months!

Also, I just realized that some daylight savings time stuff is messed up on my end here.

Just when I got Jim Henson's version of Peter Jackson's Gollum out of my head, you go and put it back into it.

I celebrated by staying in bed with influenza-a. It's been a horrible week.
