Watching new anime

I'm watching new anime that is currently out in Japan, but I can't watch one series due to receiving a letter from BayTSP telling me to cease sharing it. The series I'm currently watching are Dragon Ball Kai, Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood, Sengoku Basara, and Valkyria Chronicles. Finals are approaching within two weeks and I have jury duty before that. I'm just very busy trying to find a job, but it is very hard to find valid employment.

Playing two new games for handhelds

I've just played Castlevania: Order of Ecclesia for the DS and it is a traditional Castlevania game very much like Dawn of Sorrow and Portrait of Ruin. However, you play as an emotionless woman named Shanoa. She is pretty good looking, but she seems amnesiac. Nevertheless, this game is quite fun if you like Symphony of the Night. The other game I haven't even started yet is Star Ocean: First Departure for the PSP. It is from the SNES version that was never brought to the US and it was Japan only. I'll get back to it once I finish Castlevania.

To buy or not to buy a PSP?

I was thinking today about whether or not to buy a PSP. My brother already has a DS Lite and it has been modded into to play DS, GBA, and homebrew applications. I know, many people are torn about whether or not to mod their PSPs. Many of the people I've met at college and at work don't have a clue about what modding is. There are numerous guides and websites that tell you how, yet I couldn't find a step-by-step guide on ho to mod a PSP properly. Everybody knows that UMD doesn't seem to work well, but the memory stick is invaluable. If I only have the cash, then I would mod the PSP. Sony doesn't realize that they can get more hardware sales that way, but software sales for their UMD discs would decrease drastically. As of now, I'm still undecided since I need a memory stick and a special battery called "Pandora" to mod into the PSP. This is going to cost more than I thought. I would like others' opinions on this matter.
