Drinking my milk. Trying to sing "Catch You Catch Me" from Cardcaptor Sakura which isn't hard except for a set of bars in the chorus. For those who don't know which one I'm talking about it, it's right after this line: "sou Nice to Meet You Good to See You kitto" Suddenly you have to cram 8 words into about 1 1/2 seconds. While I can't read actual katakana/kanji/hiragana (ie. any of the Japanese writing systems) except for a few characters, I can read the romanji fairly well, so that I can spot-read it decently. And for those who say, what's so hard about that? Try singing and reading the lyrics for a song in a different language like French/Spanish and pronounce all the words correctly, on time, in tune. It's way harder when you don't have a clue what you're singing. Mandarin is really hard b/c romanization can't reflect all the intonations. And you do have to learn the romanization system.

Anyways, another day off. My work schedule really sucks, I have the weekend off, work 1 day, have Tuesday off, then work 5 days straight and have next Monday off. So my PS2 is kinda warm now. Been playing Final Fantasy Tactics. My main char (default name Ramza) is lvl 41 now. And I'm still in Ch. 2. Can you say random battle maniac? I'm the same way for FFVIII, Squall is lvl 71 and I'm only on the 2nd disc. I don't think I've freed Balamb from Galbadia Garden yet. Course I'm trying to do Zell's Love Quest, but I think I might've missed a flag somewhere, the girl doesn't show up at the train station. I'm also playing Asterix & Obelix Kicks Buttix. It's quite fun, especially when you get to rescue all the cast, watching Dogmatix(he's sooo cute!) bite Roman butts, and unlock extra costumes for Asterix & Obelix. Bashing Romans is bit boring after a while, especially when they just keep spawning. It's gotten me into re-reading the Asterix books, and I think the game needs an FAQ on GameFaqs. Only prob is ever since I got the flu, I can't seem to be able to play very long w/o getting nauseous. Maybe hour tops. Before I'd play like 3-4 hrs before getting sick from all the camera angle changes.

So I really hate the whole regionalization of games. DVDs I'm not so worried about b/c I have a DVD-ROM and the software allows for different regions. But I can't play a Japanese game even if I get a Japanese console b/c of the difference in voltage, screen refresh rates etc. It's really annoying. And since I have the slim PS2, some of the mods might not work. Argh! And there's sooooo many awesome Japanese games, like Angelique, hoards of anime games etc. Angelique mainly. Who wouldn't want to hear Seki Toshihiko and Hiro Yuuki? Luva-sama. Mar-ce-ru. Luva-sama. Mar-ce-ru.

Litterbox change

So it's been a while since I've updated. Was it b/c there was a lot of stuff going on? Well, yeah but shouldn't that mean I would update more, b/c I wanted to capture those changes? Yeah, well while I'm singing "Heart and Soul" from Macross 7 (Haven't finished watching it, and I'll have to say, you'd better like the music or you'll hate it cause the same songs get repeated. Lots. Lots lots.)

I'm just chilling after cleaning my bathroom and vacuuming my section of the house. The other weekend my brother bitched about having to clean my bathroom b/c he invited his friends over to watch LOTR. First off, who said that they had to use my bathroom? Why couldn't they use his? There's 3 bathrooms in the house, I'd only punish people by making them use my dad's .It's filthy. I really don't think he's ever cleaned it since we moved in 1 1/2 years ago, and since he's old and can't see well, there've been misses. (I only go up there to see when my ride comes b/c that's the only place to see the street). Secondly, he didn't really ask me when they could come, and if they don't come in the weekend when I schedule to clean, too bad. I really hate when people use my bathroom b/c they always leave the toilet seat lid up when they flush. Since I use the blue toilet tabs, I know that toilet water sprays up b/c I see it on the toilet lid. So toilet water goes all over the bathroom, and since my extra toilet paper rolls are on the ledge above the toilet, can you say contamination?! Good thing I have a bathroom cabinet where I keep my toothbrush and cup. Despite what they showed on Mythbusters, I still think it makes a difference. Although that micobiologist should've gotten the sample from the room where the control toothbrush was, not bring it into the bathroom where she had the rest of the samples. Yes, I'm a bit nuts about the bathroom and stuff. I also like to buy toilet paper when it's on sale, and I price it out by the sheet. Well, it is the only way to really tell which is cheaper. Although Charmin is the nicest and I will spend to buy that brand. Even at 1-ply it's really absorbent and strong. And it's nice and soft too. I actually use my Charmin for blowing my nose, b/c it's cheaper than facial tissue. And yes, I priced that out by the sheet also. So I actually have 3 kinds of TP. Charmin which substitutes for facial tissue, regular cheap stuff for what it's actually made for, and then this really cheap rough stuff that my dad buys which is basically wiping off toothpaste foam.or little cleanups that don't need an entire sheet of paper towel. Paper products are excellent for stocking up on.
