First post in over a month. Oh yeah, I sure know how to keep this stuff updated! Anyways, I decided that instead of doing homework like I should, I would update this thing.
Here's a brief rundown on what's been happening in the time that I was gone. My laptop still isn't working but I ordered a cord for it yesterday so hopefully it won't be out of commission for to much longer. I'm also considering ordering a wireless router/wireless card combo for my laptop from newegg. 108 mbs speeds for both and with a $40 mail in rebate, only $45 total! Great deal, but I'm still hesitant because, well, I don't really have money at this moment. I started a job just a few days ago, but it pays monthly so I don't really wanna spend money that I don't have. But, man, that is a great deal and I really wanna purchase it.
Like I said, I just started a job yesterday. I'm working at the help desk. WooHoo! Meh, it's pretty easy work and, even though it is minimum wage, I'm getting 15 hours a week. I'm also working a couple of Saturdays this month at a extracurricular math thing for middle and high schooler's. That pays $50 a Saturday and it's just a few hours of work. Rock on!
Started a couple of video games. Played a couple of levels of Thief Deadly Shadows, finished up Final Fantasy X (I was really close to the end. Perhaps I'll bother to go try the super bosses sometime) and have now started Xenosaga. Xenosaga, interesting game. Different than a lot of other RPG's that I've played before not in the way the battle system is set up or in the controls or anything like that (although it is a bit different from the Final Fantasy series that I'm so accustomed to playing when it comes to RPGs). What makes Xenosaga so different from other RPGs that I've played is that it's SO focused on cut scenes. I know that RPGs are meant to have a story but this is almost taking it to far. I have logged over 4 hours of game time and out of those 4 hours have had control of a character for perhaps 3. That's an hour or more of cut scenes. Maybe it will have more game play time later on but right now I feel a little bogged down with 10 min of game play followed by 20 min of cut scene. It may seem like I am exaggerating, but I really an not. I sat through a 30 cut scene earlier! It was crazy! Anyways, enough ranting about Xenosaga. It seems like a good game so far but I would really love it if I could just have an opportunity to PLAY it. Oh well.
Well, I think that that's all I'm gonna put in here right now. I really do need to go get a lab proposal done. Blessings.
