Kingdom Hearts II = Lurv

The worlds of Kingdom Hearts II will include:

Beauty & The Beast
The Nightmare Before Christmas
The Little Mermaid
Aladdin
Hercules

(The new worlds:)
Mulan
Lion King
Pirates of the Caribbean
Steamboat Willie

And Tron has just been announced.

Eeee! Tron!

That's awesome.

... And Auron. <bouncebounce> There are screenshots. Of him killing things. Yay!

So I watched one of the previews. On the Japanese site. It's not so bad to navigate, but maybe I'm just saying that because I can kind of understand bits. Like the button that says "modoru" meaning return. And how the PV means trailer, because it said "toreera" underneath in the explanation bar.

Now it's saying, "Did you see the 'Kingdom Hearts Final Mix' (something)'s ending?"

But I digress.

Point is, I did catch a glimpse of Tron - awesome. And Stitch. I bet he's going to be a summon. Teehee.

But yes, I am thoroughly enjoying this. If only it were coming out here, not just in Japan! But more importantly, if only I had the time to play it!

I wonder when I'll be able to bumble my way through games in the original Japanese?

Oh, and it costs about $77 in Japan. Haha. Sucks for them. 'Cause you know it's only going to be 50 or so here.

Unless it isn't. That would suck.

Bed!!

procrastination

I'm sick of this layout but I don't have time to make a new one.

My stomach feels funny.

I need to do Japanese homework. I think that's why I'm still awake. Otherwise I'd be sleeping. And yet, notice that I'm not actually getting anything done. I'm just postponing homework more, and sleep in the process.

Roleplaying is fun. I like the tv series Lost. I'm hungry, or something. Stupid stomach.

I'm worried about all the things I have to do, but that makes me not want to do them. And write pointless blog entries, instead.

I got a $20 parking ticket on Saturday. I forgot that the meters still work on weekends, just not after 5. So I guess I deserved it; I parked there for about two and a half hours. I guess I'll just park in the DLC lot from now on. That's free on weekends.

That's five minutes of my life, wasted. Oh darn.

So this one time, I got this piece of custard-looking pie from the fridge at work, and it tasted salty. I threw it away. About a month later, it was revealed to me that it was not, in fact, a custard pie, but brie.

people, and such

I stole this from a baby site. So everyone can see how old I am. Aren't I precious.

baby development

It's been a long time since I've written anything. I guess I'm one of those irresponsible webloggers who never updates.

I went to a Halloween party at Mines last Saturday. I hung out with Eric, Libby, Erin, Eve, Ramrod (I have no idea what his actual name is - Ramirez?), and Libby's friend Karin. It's been a long time since I've talked with them. I think I had a good conversation with Erin. I've missed Eric, especially. It was nice, even though I was forced to awkwardly mingle.

Life is busy and seemingly uneventful. I roleplay and go to SFFU every Saturday. On Fridays after Algorithms I've been getting some sort of fast food with Kenneth and Jude and then going to pick up Daniel for our text-rpg meeting.

There are nice people in my classes: Chris and Justin from Japanese are alright people, and Tasha is nice but has a bit of Freshman syndrome (but not nearly as bad as some people I know); Sylvia and Tom from Japanese Lit seem to be nice, too.

I'm making a video for a class project with Chris and Justin. The topic is "friendship." I have no idea what we're doing, but it's happening in a week. Chris is from Berthed, and comments on the dinkiness of his hometown. As was revealed to us in class on Friday, he once shattered his kneecap while skiing. He also owns the ORIGINAL Battle Star Galactica. Justin and himself often quote rejected, in Japanese.

Chris: "Boku wa banana da!" (I am a banana!)
Justin: "Boku no supuun wa taihen ookisugimasu!" (My spoon is too big!)

It should be noted that this Chris, and Grenard Chris, are not the same. Grenard Chris is currently in Japan.

Tasha lent me her USB so I could get a nice Japanese font. She likes Macs. She often crochets hats in class. Makes me think of the SciFi kiddoes. Oh, and she quotes Star Trek.

Sylvia used to be a computer science major and now has no marketable skills, as she dropped computer science for Japanese. Hooray. She's apparently in Gabbie's geography class. I didn't even know Gabbie was in geography. But whatever. I've been to Sylvia's apartment once. She has 2 advent children posters, an FF8 poster, 3 FFX-2 posters, and a Xenogears poster. She also has a dove.

Tom is in the other section of JPNS 3110. He hates cats, apparently, loves Gitaroo Man, drinks Mountain Dew, and somehow found my blog. I don't know if he checks it though. I have evasive tactics of not posting anything for months. I've been too lazy to change the layout, but his website, full of javascript leetness, is pushing me uneasily towards doing so.

I still hang out with Cam, and Jude, and Spencer, and Daniel (obviously).

There's of course Jesse, who roleplays with us on Saturdays. He's the only one left from the original group last year (which consisted of Jesse, his roommate James, their friend Matt, and Daniel).

Kenneth is a freshman who 1) is in my algorithms class, 2) goes to SciFi club, and 3) has started roleplaying with us. He's nice. The more he talks about his family, though, the weirder they seem. His 6-year old brother, adopted from Korea, is "a horny little bastard."

Stephen, Sophia's... err... still boyfriend? Something. That whole thing's weird, apparently. Anyway. He's a Chemical Engineer. I see him around the Engineering Lobby all the time, but he's always working on hideous-sounding homework. He's currently taking the applied math version of Linear Algebra. He was asking me a question about something the other day... and I realized I've already forgotten everything. And apparently there are more proofs involved in applied linear algebra than the pure math version. Which seems backwards to me. Anyway, he's cool. He also roleplays with us on Saturdays. (He's been the crusty, old, streetwise cop, and the friendly, sociable, information-relaying were-raven.) He comes to SciFi, and, he was the one who told Daniel his phone number. Daniel's phone number. As in, Stephen knows Daniel's phone number better than Daniel does. Makes sense. (Since Sophia used to live there.) Also, though I forget it, he knows the house, area, bus routes, etc. very well.

Cam's been roleplaying with us too, lately. He won't be able to play with us next week (because he's getting scuba certification at Hole-in-the-Ground, New Mexico) but now that he has a 9-5 job, he has weekends open. It's really fun.

In completely unrelated news, I don't think there's a recycle bin near my apartment to dump things into. Which sucks, because I have a ton of cans to recycle.
