That sounds awful. I hear you on the vein thing; when I was at Pfizer my veins kept getting progressively worse. The sensation while they root around in there trying to find the little bastard is...well, it's interesting. I'll ask my brother if FF9 ever gets more engaging, he's played through them all I think except for 8 which he eventually abandoned because Squall was too much of a whiny punk or something.
Yeah - the needles weren't too bad since they were nice delicate creatures, and the doctor looking for blood kept moving to a different spot rather than fishing around with the needle in the same hole (which happened to me once :P) so I have been left with 4 tiny pinpricks that don't hurt at all.
I may end up leaving IX in my incomplete pile for a while and going on to something more fun. I play games like I read books, so I have about six games somewhere in the halfway zone at the moment. Based on what you've said I might abandon my plan to switch to VIII. I DO think Soo should play X, though.
Ick. Sounds almost like a no good, very bad day indeed. The part about the blood drive alone would have been enough to ruin my day, but you know me and needles.....
In any case, let's hope that the following 9 days are rocking. I'm hoping to guarantee that the 9th is.
Oh, I am looking forward to that evening with great fervor. I'm currently trying to decide on a possible costume - so far everything I've come up with is either blatently obvious or excessively obscure. Hmmm.
I've found it a lot easier to think of male than female characters that fit the theme. Nothing wrong with cross-dressing, but I'm driven now to find the perfect woman.
One thing to you both: I'm thinking of sending out a general email on this: my general thought was to have a general geekiness to the costume theme, and not so much a specific Odyssey-theme. Elizabeth & Michael are planning on going as the Doctor and one of his assistants, and I was figuring on something Doctory as well.

Andrew, does that sound kosher?
