03/09/2010 – 13 Times as Final as Your Average Fantasy

I pre-ordered Final Fantasy XIII from Gamestop last week, and was given notice this morning that it had been shipped yesterday. I never expected it to arrive on the release date, but it did!

I’ve decided to order all of my new releases from Gamestop, as obviously they understand that when you pre-order a game by mail you should get it ASAP.

03/08/2010 – I Want You (She’s So Heavy)

I worked today for the first time in 5 days, and it was the 1st night shift in 10 days. It’s like riding a bike though, I just fell back into the routine. Anyhoo, I ended up downloading and trying the Heavy Rain demo this morning, and it was so good that I picked up a copy on my way to work today. The hard part is resisting staying up all night playing it. ;)

03/07/2010 – Poohs-a-Plenty

Today was just like last Sunday. I woke up ’round 11, watched the Canucks game at 12:30… headed to Sid’s Vids for a Magic tournament, placed around 3rd, came home, ate dinner, sorted cards and watched TV ’til bed.

The picture in question today is of a vending machine I saw outside of the IGA in Wilson Creek today–yet another one that sells Peek-a-Poohs! Unfortunately I had no cash today, so no new Pooh. :(

Here’s hoping I get one two Sundays from now, as there’s no tourney on the next one. =\

03/06/2010 – Getting It Done Just Got More Fun

(First of all, I know that “Getting It Done Just Got More Fun” isn’t from the Windows XP installation blurbs, but actually from Vista’s. Second of all, I’m entirely sure no one even knew I was referencing the installation of either OS.)

Today I set about the task of installing Windows XP on my other laptop Nasir again, in preparation for my trip in April. I didn’t want to have to take Weatherlight along for three reasons:

1) Too big.
2) Too valuable.
3) Too… orange.

Either way, I’m nearly finished setting Nasir up, just need to throw on a few things like Picasa, Flickr Uploadr, Irfanview, iTunes… stuff I might need while on the go after a day of taking pictures with my phone/camera.

Other than that all I did today was retool a few decks again, as I seem to do every week (or day) now.

03/05/2010 – Magic Vertigo

I need to vacuum.

Also, today I was still feeling a bit under the weather, although the Strepsils obviously helped the sore-throat part of whatever ails me.

Whenever I stood up to do anything today, I felt immediately hot, dizzy, and exhausted. That said, I was still able to get myself together enough to attend (and enjoy) the Magic Night.

While it might just be that absence makes the heart grow fonder (as there was no Magic Night last week) I really, really, *really* enjoyed the MN this week. It was fantastic! Everyone was in a good mood, I did some good (and bad) trades, played a few good games, played a few crap ones. I still couldn’t help but smile the entire time.

I’m still planning on attending the Sunday-afternoon Magic tourney at Sid’s Vids this weekend, but I’ll have to take the bus to do so, so if I’m not feeling that great, I might just end up staying home.

I doubt that’ll be the case though.
