Okay so Wednesday and Thursday nights I got like three hours of sleep each night. Thursday, sorted through a bunch of my old Legos at the parents' house, and had Thanksgiving dinner with my parents and the uncles. Really missed not having my sister around, but, as I doubt I've actually mentioned in here yet, she's working in India for the next several months.
Another thing I probably neglected to mention - I recently discovered that much of my health problems in the last year or two seem to be the result of my developing lactose intolerance. This Thanksgiving I discovered that when the lactase pills say "take with the first bite of food", they really mean that first bite part. Eat half a piece of chocolate cake, then take the pill before finishing it? Still spend the next day wondering if I'm gonna throw up.
And that whole sickly Friday was spent bargain-hunting with my mom. It's become a tradition for us to participate in the ridiculous, crowded early-morning sales and I found some exceptional stuff, some extremely cheap DVDs/VHS/video games, useful art/hobby supplies, a gorgeous flat-panel monitor at an amazing price, and a brown pinstriped suit that is probably one of the most fly garments I could get away with wearing. Also I'm pretty sure I've lost weight, based on how well a smaller size of relatively slim cut jeans fit me.
A bunch of the video and video-game (mostly used) finds from Friday are shown below, inside the cut.
OF PARTICULAR INTEREST TO ![[info]](http://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif) ahvia BECAUSE I AM A JERK BUT REALLY I AM GOING TO WATCH IT SERIOUSLY I HAVE TO NOW
Gamestop had this deal where if you buy their special edition of Final Fantasy 12 before noon Friday, they give you a $10 giftcard. And you can then immediately spend that giftcard on used games - and used games were buy two, get one free all Friday AND I found some stuff there in Jersey that I never see used around here.
Ok so anyway after getting back to NYC on Friday night I went to bed and slept for 24 hours. Seriously. It was insane. I woke up in the early morning today, barely realizing I'd skipped a day.
Today I saw The Fountain with roommate Chris and I was moderately disappointed. I guess it was worth seeing, but I found the pacing to be too slow and the whole sense of story was too disjointed. It's like Aronofsky set out to make a movie without a beginning or end, but instead it went end, middle, middle, beginning, middle, end, middle, end, end.
Man, web page/graphics work really is a drag. But I'm trying to get some content up, and a structure to easily slot in some more.
The new Achewood is brilliant.
Also, I am reading the Fullmetal Alchemist manga now, up to about chapter 40. Once I got into the mid-thirties, it seems that Hiromu Arakawa is intent on making me cry. Enjoying it, though.
No conclusion to this update. HOPEFULLY if I get that personal web stuff done I will find a new place for my blogging that will function as both a frontpage updates log and the kind of quick personal notes that I used to keep here. |

I didn't know Philosoma GOT a US release.
Now I just need, like, Ikaruga and Silpheed and Einhander. So I can totally suck at all of them.
I wanna sleep for 24 hours
THAT is a winning photograph up there, on all accounts. and $4.99? god.
out of curiosity, how much was the regular used price for Vagrant Story?
I never bothered to look that one up when I had all the knowledge of Gamestop's database at my fingertips.
now you can watch Advent Children, and we will probably end up arguing about it. :j
The answer is not as outrageously much as Xenogears. But seriously it was like... 15 bucks? Pretty fair for a scarce game like that.
I have to decide now whether to just push through to the end of FF7 as soon as possible, or go earn myself every materia and item possible first. I think I'd enjoy the latter more, but I might just beat it so I can watch AC with the story fresh in my mind.
Arguing is sexy.

You found a copy of Vagrant Story! Over here that's the equivalent of finding the holy grail.
Your icon is SO MUCH WIN. | |
