I just lost about an hour and a half of game progress in FF:VIII due to lack of save points followed by being ripped to shreds by a T-Rexor. Luckily, it'll go a lot quicker the second time through.

A bunch of us went to see the Hitchhiker's movie. It was pretty good; made me wish I'd enjoyed the books. Maybe I'll give them another shot. I'll get 'em from the library this time, though. I already bought them once, was disappointed and sold them.
