Back In and Out of the Grind:

Well I guess I should comment on all the new games I got. I happened to pick up quite a few, but just forgot to comment on getting them at all.

Awhile back I got Final Fantasy III for the DS, and just more recently I picked up Final Fantasy IV and V for the Advance...which I can just play on my DS. I also recently picked up Metroid Prime Pinball for the DS and have been having fun with that in between my classes. What made it even greater was the fact that I picked it up for $10 (with rumble pack included).

Today I purchased Lost Planet, pre-ordered Burning Crusade, and bought a Z-Board (gaming keyboard) with a free World of Warcraft: Burning Crusade insert. I'm going to really whore my macros now. As for Lost Planet, I haven't had the chance to play it since I bought it inbetween the time I got out of class and went to work. Then when I got off work I picked up my boyfriend (who lives about 45 minutes away), then drove back just in time to work at my other job at the LAN center. I was going to go to a party tonight, but I don't think everyone will still be there by the time I show up, so I think I might just get in some play time with Lost Planet at home instead.

Lately I've been playing Final Fantasy XII again and loving it (I heart Gambits). I sort of put it down for awhile once Gears of War came out, but now I've learned to manage my time for both games. Although, FFXII might have to go on hold again until I beat Lost Planet. It looks like another short game, so I'll give it a day or two, and then it's back to the grind.

Speaking of back to the grind, the new semester started this week, and so far so good. We'll see how long that lasts...

Congratulations, it’s a [Indeterminable]:

No, no, I didn’t give birth, but I there is a new addition to the family. Say hello to Shi-ro, which means “white” in Japanese. I named “it” that way because Shi-ro is an albino leopard gecko, and the reason why I’m referring to Shi-ro as “it” is because I can’t tell what “it” is yet. Shi-ro is too young to tell at this age. If Shi-ro ends up being a girl, I’ll add an "i" to the end of the kanji/word/name to make it sound more “girlish.” I’ve learned not to specifically name my pets too soon thanks to my other leopard gecko, Loretta, who used to be called “Larry,” until I found out otherwise.

I bought Shi-ro during my lunch break today after I got a call from PetCo telling me that they got some albino leopard geckos in. Since there were only about eight babies left (and yes, they go fast), I just couldn’t wait till I got off work and drove straight over. I took Shi-ro back to my house and set up “its” home. Right now I have them separated because I’m pretty sure Loretta will mistake Shi-ro for lunch. Shi-ro will eventually break up "its" washed-out colored bands into spots as "it" grows older. One day Shi-ro will be as big as "its" sister, but not anytime soon. Loretta has six more years of experience...
