current song: englishman in new york - sting

various things of interest have been happening. for one, on thursday and friday parsons has been really mean. there has been speculation that he's in trouble for being behind, so now he's making us work hard to catch up. grrr. but, also, i sat with katsnelson and eric (and nathan) in lit on thursday and friday. odd yet interesting. furthermore, on thursday after school mom and i went to gamestop to pick up dark cloud 2. and we ended up buying quite a lot of other stuff as well.

what we bought at gamestop on thursday:
* a gamecube
* a gamecube memory card
* 2 gamecube wireless controllers
* a reserved copy of zenosaga
* a reserved copy of zelda
* zelda: ocarina of time
* metroid prime
* mystic heroes
* an action figure of yuna
* a yuyu hakushou dvd (rescue yukina)
* dark cloud 2
* dark cloud 2 strategy guide
* a 10-issue subscription to game informer magazine

gah. so much stuff...

on top of that, on friday love hina arrived in the mail. i had poked my daddy into buying me the series on dvd. aharon was talking about how you could buy the whole series in a 3-disc set for $33 on the net. so i went online and my daddy found the same thing for $29 or something. $10 shipping charge though, so it ended up being $40... still, very cool. so i've been watching that as well.

at first, mum hated dark cloud 2, because she couldn't figure out how to go through the dungeons a second time (hooray for mindless levelling!) and there were a BUNCH of cut-scenes. boring... but she's getting into it now, and she's been levelling up the weapons majorly. and we've gotten to the fishing, and we're about to get to georama. wheee!

well, today is nikki's birthday. happy birthday, nikki! anyways, i hope she has fun. i don't know when i'll get to give her her presents, though. and i haven't talked to her in a while... eheheh. i really need to call her. hopefully later tonight.

one last thing. yesterday, in my quest for a driver's license (so far it hasn't been very successful, though) i drove with my dad for an hour. but, amazingly enough, i actually drove on streets. with other cars... erm, that is, i didn't just wander around parking lots and/or deserted neighborhoods. i went on arapahoe, parker, and orchard, i think. very stressful. but, i guess it was ok. after all, i didn't kill anyone. or run into anything. hooray! also, in the course of my wanderings i saw the new high school, i think. at least there was a sign up. course, there was a more permanent looking sign on another side of the building saying "liberty middle school". my dad goes, "that can't be a high school, let alone a high school and a middle school! it's not any bigger than horizon!" hallelujah. i will laugh if the new high school is smaller than horizon.
