Continuing adventures with that newfangled PS2 thing.
(Yes, I am way behind the curve when it comes to gaming.)
So, while picking up a shameful amount of used PS2 games to try, I managed to fall in love with Tales of the Abyss, despite its incredibly linear storyline and limited player options. A lot of the dialogue is cute and clever and the character development--when it occurs--is generally very ( Read more... ) -
PS2 and Thanksgiving
I bought my very first video gaming console (a used PS2) the other day. It was during finals (as 'it' still 'is') and therefore somehow . . . inevitable. I still have not found any games that I truly love to play on it yet. Which means that I spend more time researching games than playing them. Must be the librarian in me ( Read more... ) -
Adopted a new kitty!
The boyfriend and I adopted a new gray-and-black tabby named Midnight. She is about 2 years old as far as we know, and very sweet. She likes to hang out on the ledge of our loft, surveying the living room from above.

There are ( Read more... ) -

Random dream
I dreamed I could turn into a mechanical something. Or piece of something. I was one of many who could turn into a mechanical something, and all of our mechanical-piece selves were unique. In our mechanical forms, we could combine to make a different mechanical whole. (I never got to see the whole, though I assume it was badass in some way due to ( Read more... ) -
New Things
I am mostly moved in to my new place, with the boyfriend and his friend. My bed and computer are there now, anyway, and that's what counts. That and the books ( Read more... ) -
I am a Master of the Arts!
. . . that's pretty much what I had to say.
I wonder how many more degrees I can get before it starts to look suspicious. -

Unexpected NuditySometimes it seems like, when I get naked, it is more unexpected than when other people get naked, or so the reactions I have gotten in the past seem to suggest. Meh. Clothes are overrated. Not when worn for comfort, just when worn for modesty. Nudity taboos are silly. What are they even for? I would like to think that human beings ( Read more... )
