Kotoba no Renkinjutsushi ~ 言葉の錬金術師 ~

I can't believe I spent that much money in one day. Wow.

I bought:
- Seven new bras, two pair of jeans and a shirt, all on sale from Lane Bryant
- The new Loveless, Iono-Sama no Fanatics and two Fumi Yoshinaga manga (love her!)
- Season 4 box of Naruto (Hey, everyone's allowed a guilty pleasure)
- DVD of Hairspray (Yay John Waters), and a horor movie named Reincarnation
- The Game of the Year Edition of The Longest Journey & Dreamfall (Loved TLJ, have my doubts about Dreamfall (no Cortez). It'll be nice to have TLJ on a DVD instead of 4 CDs though)
- Shin Megami Tensei Digital Devil 2, SMT: Devil Summoner and SMT Persona3
- Echo Night Beyond (Ghosts ... in ... Space!!!!!)
- 5 bottles of Ramune for export back to Berlin

The nice thing about my job is that I can work two extra days and all of that stuff will be payed for with change left over. I'm off to watch Hairspray ...

I'm on vacation, camping. It's relaxing, but I do kind of miss my PS2. I did pick up Odin Sphere to play when I get back, though. It looks shiny and has sprites! I'm gonna hit Tokyo Kid later this week to spend mad amounts of cash on my bad habits. They always have the lastest english yaoi releases, so I always find something. I also wanna see if the Wagamama noodle shop opened up yet. *drools*

Going to Boston for the weekend, gonna take in the Bruins v. Flyers with a friend. Please god I hope the B's don't lose. Those tix are fucking expensive. I have high hopes, because Philadelphia sucks this year.

Got my copy of Katamari, and from what little I've been able to play, I can say this with authority: this game is a mite touched in the head. Me likee. There's something perversely enjoyable about rolling a giant ball made out of caramels, takoyaki, swans, road signs, thumbtacks, mice, people, kitty-cats, pachinko balls ....

...ahem...

Sleep, then work, then bye-bye Berlin.

^___^

I will beat Space Channel Five before the day is out.
*glares at her playstation*

HOLY SHIT! I just saw the starting prices for the Playstation 3. Get ready ...
...
...
$499-$599
...
...
You gotta be fucking joking.
That is a rediculous amount of money for a video game console. I will probably end up getting one eventually, but not right away like I originally intended to. This is gonna take some saving up, and as I make a decent amount of money, that's saying something. That's just way too much money. I could buy a new computer for that. It's like a month's rent.

In other news, I got the low-down on Final Fantasy 12, and it looks like a bitter dissapointment. They've revamped the battle system to make it more "real-time" (I hate that word) and stylized even the moogles so they're unrecognizable. The venerable Nobuo Uematsu will be doing only the theme this time, and all the other music will be handled by this other dude I've never heard of. I've seen pictures of some of the characters and all I have to say is this: Scantily clad BUNNY GIRLS? HAVE YOU NO SHAME? I thought FFx-2 was a dud, but so far it looks like the greatest game of all time compared to this.

Wow. Long time no-post. I just have to share my review of the latest in the Fatal Frame saga, probably my all-time favorite game series ever.

So I was all psyched when I got my copy in the mail. I unwrapped it like someone posessed, shoved it in my PS2, practically shaking with anticipation of being scared out of my wits, and proceeded to blow a weekend playing straight through. The graphics are still top-notch, the sound is still pee-yourself-creepy, the ending theme is another Amano Tsukiko masterpiece.

That being said, I was quite let down.
