Games played: Persona 3, Persona 4, Itadaki Street DS, Final Fantasy 11, Final Fantasy 13, Persona 3 PSP. Not much of a list here. Hoping 2010 finds more games that keep me interested.
Music listened: The Fall of Troy, Fall Out Boy, Panic! at the Disco, Chiodos, Saosin, The Academy Is..., etc. The same stuff I listened to in 2008, basically.

Overall, 2009 was expensive. I spent over $6000 on plane tickets alone. Another $2000+ for Chiaki's visa and green card.
Here's to a more savings-filled 2010 ;o
