So I spent most of the day looking for my cat who I thought had gotten outside at some point... And then shows up at 7:30 pm. So today was fun... Not that I spent the whole day just a couple hours and a whole lot of mental worry...

I'm not sure if I feel any different after going to the digipen stuff for the 4 weeks. I'm not sure, although it's really annoying seeing all the back-to-school ads already.
I think I feel older but then I could just be wrong... One thing should be noted however if you go to one of the workshops... Don't get the cafeteria food it sucks major...

So on another note I didn't get to talk to the cute girl again. But I'll hopefully see her at sakura-con 2005.

So anybody going to PAX?
It looks like it will be pretty fun and I signed up for the SSBM, MKDD and Soul Caliber torn.

I also picked up the Azumanga DVD Vol 3 on Saturday. Its funny and all but I like the manga a lot better. I just like the way it jumps around more.

So out of the three gba games I've been playing I like fire emblem the best. Super Mario ? is fun but it doesn't work very well in a car. At least if you live in a area with potholes and/or dirt roads. Just as your about to hit a button... BA-BUMP!!! Pothole = Dead Mario
Sword Of Mana Suffers from that same problem. That and its just not that fun. Hit monster with sword. Walk awhile. Hit another guy with arrow. Walk. unkown new guy is invincible to first to weapons try blunt attack. Crap that doesn't work. Try first elemental magic attack. Crap that doesn't work. Try different. Nope. Try again. Nope try aga... Dead
Rinse wash repeat... The story isn't that great at least to me. I'm at the part where
you...
SPOILER
after you fight medusa and I'm stuck in the puzzle mansion thing.

End Spoiler

that's the other thing Everything looks the same and its really hard to dodge stuff.
Don't forget you can only save at certain spots. That just sucks. Why cant they just have healing stations at certain areas and a save anywhere system? Granted this isn't a big problem since the GBA Battery life is bloody long. Usually I just turn off the light and close the shell.

That's why I like fire emblem. Its turnbased so no pothole death, Save anywhere, Its pretty fun and it has a pretty good story. Now if they would just release the one with Marth in it I'd be happy. The one complaint I have is that your characters can die. At least I think they "Die". I accidentally let the Pegasus knight girl get gang-banged by 4 swordsmen on the stage where your defending that castle in the beginning. My approximate words were " YOUR ON A BLOODY PEGASUS!!! FLY IN THE SKY IF YOUR HURT!!!" Anywho she didn't listen and was removed. So I figure well there is a learning experience don't do that again. So I save and go on to the next where she whines about a broken arm and gets to walk around with main gal. It's really annoying because you see her in the cinema things beforehand but she doesn't show up on the playfield. Its just that "SHE'S A KNIGHT! SUCK IT UP AND DO SOME SCOUTING FOR ME OR SOMETHING!" so that's why I don't let any other characters die. Auto restart of level and all that. But the game is surprisingly fun.

Interesting glitch with the blogger spellchecker:
when you scroll through the suggested words and reach the bottom the thing doesn't stop it just puts in the word it recommended.
