Yesterday I went out for once, and actually stayed out for half the day without any terrible anxiety. Since I'm rather tired right now (I struggled at writing a RPoL post all through the night... sigh) I'll just summarize quickly for now.

We bought the PS3 Genesis game collection. Jon wanted it 'cause he's a dork. :D It's the best collection I've seen of Genesis (and some Master System) games yet. Has all the Phantasy Stars, Shining Force 1 and 2, all the Streets of Rage games, Sonic games (of course), etc.

I also preordered Sims 3, which is coming out June 2nd. SO CLOSE! I can hardly wait!

Then we went to see Terminator Salvation. Which I actually enjoyed. I've heard it wasn't so popular, but I stopped paying attention to what others think a long time ago. The movie suited my tastes. I liked the look into the war with the machines, the Terminator and vehicle designs, and particularly the character of Marcus. There were also a couple moments where I was totally thinking "+3 stunt!" heh!

We did some walking, then settled down at a restaurant that's open late at night and had a nice meal. All in all a good day... but now I should stop depriving myself of sleep and try this RPoL post later. :P

Whoa birthdays. Eni's was yesterday but I was out all day. And today's is Selina's and Lumi's. I'm sending birthday wishes all over the place.

Still feel rather sad I'm not sending gifts because I like being generous, but right now being generous may not be a good idea. Still no financial aid yet and Jon is just starting a new job at the end of this month.

On the other hand I DID spend *some* money as I had some left over... namely, to get Dark Spire. FINALLY. XD And Jon bought some music CDs which I will talk about later.

Dark Spire is just... totally awesome so far. Mmmmm challenging dungeon crawlers. The premise is very simple (go to the top of the tower, kill the bad sorcerer, get back the treasure--it's very Nethack-ish actually), and the gameplay seems deceptively simple as well. But this game totally does NOT handhold you through much at all. Even the tutorial had this attitude of "just DO IT already, stop asking questions!" which amused me to no end.

I'm totally beat though so I don't know I'll really be around much till tomorrow. I have Wardragon then anyways so I'll be around pretty much all day Sat. playing that. Also updating all my RPoL posts, and writing info for Dynastic Moon. I'm a busy writin' lady.

Jon and I really had a great time, two of our best days together in a while. :D We stayed at a nearby hotel, as I mentioned, a great and high rated one. Not like, super expensive though. Just enough for what funds we had. We even got a suite upgrade for a small cost, so we spent a lot of time just lounging and relaxing in the room. We watched a movie there (Taken with Liam Neeson, which I really enjoyed actually, for reasons I may explain later) and lots of Star Trek and Stargate. Lol, we're dorks.

I slept around midnight-1 am and woke at 8 am. Normal sleep hours, whoa!

It was early enough that Jon and I could go take a walk, eat out for breakfast (mmm I had a 'crepomelette', with spinach and cheese, and fresh fruit and multigrain toast at Cora's) and poke around at the game shops.

Games that (still) need buying:
- Ar Tonelico 2 (PS2) (which as I said I have to order, arg!)
- The Dark Spire (DS) (I keep mentioning it, but it's 'cause I really want it!)
- Puzzle Quest Galactrix (DS)
- Also I'm interested in getting Odin Sphere, (Greatest Hits version) but it's kinda optional-ish.

And husband wants these:
- Ace Combat 4 (PS2, we saw it for really cheap used!)
- Street Fighter 4 (PS3, but for some reason it is IMPOSSIBLE to find the PS3 version right now!)
- Valkyrie Profile: Covenant of the Plume (DS)

Sheesh... totally couldn't sleep (I've slept less than 4 hours so far) 'cause it got REALLY HOT in the room. The sun strikes the window pretty directly around 10-11am now. Whew! Today is apparently shaping up to be a nice early spring day.

I'm going to be out for part of the day at least. Jon and I were going to celebrate our 6th year as a couple (March 9th) last week but instead we're doing it this week 'cause I think I was busy that day, or something... or maybe just not in the mood to go out, I have no idea...

Also I finished watching Sailormoon S. That was a pretty satisfying series, except that I REALLY think the Daimons were weird designs. There were better monster designs in earlier ones! Haruka/Michiru were definitely a plus though and so was Hotaru(Saturn) who reminded Jon and I a great deal of Ryshy/Sophia.

I wish I had the determination to write my story about Ryshy and her mother and etc. but there's two things that tend to hold me back:
