Monday Of Fail
Dec 30th
I had a little bit of a late Christmas present yesterday. I woke up at around 2 am with a very unhappy stomach. I sat in bed for a little while until it felt like I could move and then went to get a little glass of water. Obviously that was not a good decision as I ended up making a mad dash to the bathroom instead. I ended up not going into work because I was still feeling a little off and very tired. As near as I can tell, something I ate disagreed with me violently, since after that it was a steady progression of getting better all day. Nothing else which indicated that it was an actual stomach bug.
While I was home though I decided I wanted to start my macbook into Windows so I could play some Civilization 4 to pass the time. Before that I had installed the demo for a game a friend of mine (Jay) recommended (Overlord) and…I'm not sure what happened but that seemed to trigger my windows install to totally melt down. So I spent the morning reinstalling windows XP and calling microsoft to prove that I wasn't a pirate.
And the print for my new piece of artwork that has been previously referenced was delayed by UPS due to a late trailer, so that didn't come yesterday either.
Oh, and then I totally screwed up the chicken I was making for dinner, making me get take out.
So pretty much the best thing that happened yesterday was that I didn't end up with a cripling stomach ilness. This week is going to be looong as I'm really looking forward to doing a lot of hanging out with my friends this weekend. Is it friday yet?
It’s Been A Xenosaga Weekend
Sep 10th
Kos-Mos
So I bought Xenosaga III for the Playstation 2 Friday night. I’m now about 18 hours into the game and have been playing pretty much nonstop all weekend.
It’s pretty entertaining, and much better than the second one was. By Far. The combat system is pretty nice, the music is good, the story is pretty good so far.
About 8 hours in, there’s a cinematic action sequence that just ROCKS. I need to figure out how to rip that off the disc and onto my computer because I want to watch it again….and again…and again…
I played so much Xenosaga that I ended up forgetting about my History reading, which I’m taking a break from now.
Lets see, what else did I do this weekend? Hmm, well, I reinstalled windows on my desktop computer since I installed one too many Microsoft beta products on it and things were acting really funky. I’ve got everything all set up and going now (did it while playing Xenosaga earlier today…I’m obsessed)
Sigh…back to my history reading then…
