The Weekend Update – Fish Trouble Edition
Feb 11th 2008
This weekend was spent doing a lot of lounging around and relaxing. I spent a good majority of the time playing Tales of the Abyss, which is a really good RPG for the Playstation 2. I've had it for over a year now and only played about 12 hours of it to start with before something took me away and I'm regretting not finishing it sooner. Very good game. But it wasn't all fun and games this weekend.
I had some fish trouble, nothing major though. I noticed Saturday afternoon that my tank's temperature was inching downwards towards room temp, which is bad if you've got tropical fish and your room temperature isn't 79-80F. Needless to say, I was a little concerned. As it turns out, my heater was broke, so I grabbed my backup heater and threw it in there until I could go out the next day and pick a new one up. Luckily that seemed to work pretty well until Sunday. I also took the opportunity to redo my aeration setup, with new tubes and a valve to control flow so I don't need to use my potato chip bag clip to stop some air from going through. Probably should have gotten a smaller air pump, but…oh well. Everything seems to be working fine now, so I'm hopefully done playing in the water for a while.
Other than that, nothing else of particular note really happened this weekend (that I can remember right now anyway). Just your standard relaxation totally lazy weekend. I was going to do stuff with Wassy and Jay, but she got sick over the weekend and had to cancel. Bah to illness (and not just because I wanted to do stuff either.)
This Game Is Hard!!!
Feb 12th 2007
I’ve been playing Valkyrie Profile 2 for the PS2 in my spare time (which isn’t much right now…) but I’ve gotten to a point where I’ve decided that it’s just too hard. I like the story, and the battle system is kinda cool once I got used to it, but it’s HARD. I can advance in it, but I’m going to need a lot more free time in order to level grind so it’s not just something that I can pick up and play for a little while. That and the save points are wayyy too far apart.
So I’m now playing Tales of The Abyss which seems to be more my speed for the amount of free time I’ve got to play. I’m about 2 hours in (started playing over the weekend) and so far I’m enjoying it.
