Excuse my radio silence these next few days.
I’ve finally had time to start playing Final Fantasy XIII-2 properly, and I’m completely enveloped in this game already!
As is to be expected, the storyline is as intense as ever (par for the course on Final Fantasy games), and the graphics are just stunning!
So seeing as I’m spending so much time at my PS3 instead of my PC, I probably won’t post much for a while.

Every once in a while,
Facebook reminds me of the birthday of somebody whom I have as a friend, but really don’t even know or remember.
So I just go ahead and go to their profile, and I un-friend them.
Then I wonder if that’s something that’s alright to do to someone on their birthday.

Anonymous asked: Hi Vishal, (may I call you Vishal? I'm sorry, I don't know what to call you otherwise. Sir Vishal? Vishal the Great? Okay. Stopping now.) I have this class assignment to do as part of my media homework which involves me creating my own album artwork, and I was wondering if I could maybe use one of your pictures?

A Few Words from Grandpa Vishal
