Black Mage

Yes...yes I would.

Great! Welcome back! What's your new name?

Just watched the Hotel Dusk trailer...must say I'm very intrigued.

Yes! Zuko Kirby!

Maybe I'm just blind and didn't see it mentioned, but is there any idea of when 3.0 will be open for business?

Welll, I do have a $10-off thing for GameStop, so that would bring it down to $30. My other thought was to get Animal Crossing: Wild World, so I can have something to use the WiFi we have at home.

Help a new DS owner out. Is FF3 worth the $40 price tag?

I enjoy Arthur C. Clarke's Hammer of God as a good, quick read. The story is kinda predictable, and moves fast.

I would mirror those sentiments.

...the hell?

Ya ha! Finally...I finally found a DS (in black, no less). Picked-up New Super Mario Bros too. Granted, I can't to the WiFi thang, but I still feel it's a good start. New Nintendo system, gotta start with a Mario game, y'know? In short...I'm happy, and this has made my day after an exhausting day of barista training (too...much...espresso).

So, no more VGDJ?

Well, I have soundtracks for games I've never played. I was quite impressed with the OST from The Nations, though I had never even heard of the game. Does this category include soundtracks like Xenogears Light, Xenogears: Creid, Final Fantasy: Potion, FF: S and N Generations? If so, I have those too.

Never underestimate the desire of a gamer to get his new toy right now.

Dammit, I got the money and the desire to buy a DS (finally), but they are nowhere to be found! I've called over 20 stores today and not one has a single DS. This is driving me mad!

I just like to listen to them on random, which would be a whole lot more effective if one could actually randomize one's playlists in the iPod.

Yeah, I have every remix on my iPod (<3 60GB).

Threadless T's has some good ones.

Actually, anymore the map feature just shows where you placed you nation. It used to be that you could see other nations within 500 miles of your own, provided that they were of the same strength level, but that feature was too much for their servers, I guess. So for the most part it been disabled...which kind of defeats the purpose of the google maps feature to begin with.

Tonight we are finally celebrating my birthday (two days late, but better then never, eh?). We have reservations with some friends at Rooster's in Layton. Then it's off to do the cake and gifts thang (keeping my fingers crossed for that DS).

Thanks! I'm glad everyone likes the propagan...er...recruitment posters. Though I think I really should make a higher res version of the OCA flag, or better yet, one in vector.

Yay, I finally got my OCR shirt! Though I am again reminded why I rarely order shirts off the net...you can't try them on before you buy 'em. lol

I've never really done the resolution thing, but I suppose the this year I'll seek to continue working out on a regular basis, as I have been for the past two years or so. It's worked well so far, in the past two or three years I have lost about 60-ish pounds. Now I want to build muscle, so I guess my resolution will be to do more weight lifting. And as always, I'll seek to further improve my chefery skills. I'd also like to try and gain some sort of actual social life...yeah, that'd be nice.

Well now, this is gonna take a bit o' gettin' used to, in'it, eh what? She's a bit ginger at first, but I thinks it's all robin.
