An Oasis in the Desert
Apr 5th 2007
My week, to put it mildly, has been horrible. Work related things…school related things…general blah like feeling. So I was glad when the opportunity came up to go out with my friends last night and relax a little bit. We went out to Zebb's and then went back to their place to watch some anime that Wassy is trying to corrupt me into liking. Chobits is actually pretty good. I don't like most anime, but certain things I have gotten into. This might be one of them.
I also picked up my PS1 memory card from her that she tracked down for me. I bought Final Fantasy VII over the weekend and forgot I didn't have a PS1 memory card to play it with, so I've been using their pocketstation temporarily. She stopped by a used game store on her way home the other day and found one for me. I was hoping the previous owner had some interesting save game files on there, but they only had two saves for Tactics Ogre, whatever that is. (UPDATE: I have been informed that this is actually a good game. Go figure.)
I've also got a copy of Xenogears coming my way from eBay, now that I actually have a memory card to use with it.
On the subject of fish…I'm wavering a bit. I'm not really sure if I have a good place to stick anything other than a smallish bowl and I don't really want to do that. But on the other hand, I really, really want to set something up. Arrgh!

Of Scheming and Bowling
Mar 4th 2007
My arm is slightly sore right now.
I went out bowling with some friends last night. The strange thing about this (sorta) is that the last time I went bowling, my parents called and wanted to come over to play some Wii Bowling. Sure enough, my phone rings tonight when we're waiting to get seated at the restaurant (mmmm…zebbs.) I went outside to answer it and it was my mom, asking if the bowling alley was open tonight. I had to clarify that she meant wii sports bowling… Anyway, it was a little strange.
Other strange occurrences included ordering a 1/2 pound burger and receiving 2 1/3 pounder burgers instead because the cook made the wrong size (I wouldn't have notice if they didn't tell me actually.) There was also a kid with a death wish who kept running out into our lane just as I was about to go. And the strangest of all…losing to my very tipsy friend who was having some balance issues by the last game after a pretty decent Cosmopolitan from the bar helped her along. Although I guess drinking and bowling go hand in hand, so it makes sense that they would create a sport where balance wasn't really necessary 
Granted she's better than me when she's sober, but I'm not entirely sure how she did it…
And FINALLY I can let the cat out of the bag. I've been scheming for the past couple weeks to surprise my fri–heck, I'll just call her Wassy since that's what she goes by on the interwebs…tired of saying "my friend this/my friend that" all the time . Anyway, she's the one who gifted me all of the nice artwork and other small little items, just when they were needed the most. She mentioned a couple months ago that she really wanted a plushie stuffed animal thing version of Yoshi, from Super Mario World. And then I got one, and she said she'd kill me and steal it.
Anyway…I went out to the wide world that was eBay and procured a little keychain version of yoshi (about 2-2.5 inches tall I'd say) since that was the only version I could find that wasn't shipping out of hong kong for $20-25 worth of shipping to the US. I've had it for a little over a week now and I've been dying to tell somebody. I finally gave it to her last night as a little thank you gift for the stuff she's done for me.
