Mi Madre and I have been clearing our backroom, to switch it from storage area to computer/sewing/cosplay area. ..not an easy task. I've got two wounds on my left hand already from this. @.@ Much thanks to ozzynelson for assisting. It's not really done yet, but I've got a clear area and desk set up, just need to organzie, and set up the sewing machine. n_n
I took the time off to go see Spiderman 3. Too bad about it, really...it could have been better than it was, and I'm a bit surprised how much a two-bit villain like Sandman stole the show from Greengoblin, not to mention Venom. No spoilers here, but I don't think I'll be seeing this one at imax after all. Tis a pity. Oh, and I found a really good indian food place near my house yesterday. Mark my words, I am so dragging people there...you have been warned. >D
In other geek related news, I recently went back and re-beat FF7. I still can't comprehend how enough fans sorted through this really REALLY poorly done game to find the interesting story and characters that are ~SO~ popular. I mean...any game where both the main character and the villians' backstories are both optional and hidden has some serious scripting problems. And don't get me started on the materia system. Tis mysterious.
With Akon rapidly approaching, I'll be spending a lot of time trying to get my various cosplay projects finished up. Oddly, this is the first akon I remember where I'm actually interested in meeting any of the guests..Peter S. Beagle and Howard Taylor, respectively. And of course there are non-guests I want to see, if only to buy stuff from them in the artists alley. XD Unfortunately, it due to a conflict of scheduling, this does mean I'll miss therabitt's graduation. T_T Oh well.
Um...let's see. Work has been stressful like you wouldn't believe, between the hellish weather and that I keep being pulled off my job to cover other people. I'm used to being always just barely behind, but this is getting ridiculous. Oh, and I finally made it Scarborough Fair a couple of weeks ago thanks to an invite from a co-worker and timrehix letting me drag him along. n_n Yay.
So...nothing really earth-shatteringly interesting to report, but I guess I should check in every once in a while. Much <3 to you all...I'm off to see if I can get more backroom organizing done.

But once again I have to disagree with you on FFVII. It's probably going to be an eternal debate, but I really enjoyed the game. I found the story largely coherent and easy to follow. The only holes in the game were the ones they chose not to explain, largely whether or not the Cloud in the game was the original Cloud or a clone of some sorts (which would explain why Sephiroth was able to control him like the other clones.) I found the materia system quite easy to use and, though I found the Junction system in VIII enjoyable, the Draw system attached to it made it too cumbersome to use. In truth, the fun of any FF game comes down to the interface. The people who liked VII didn't like VIII because the interface changed too much. The same goes for those who liked VII but hated VII. The only thing I've found to be largely universal is that IX was liked by pretty much everyone.
There, getting off my soapbox now.
