I got through the end of the Fourth Kalpa the other day. While my last Nocturne post was spoiler-free, this one contains huge spoilers for the end of the Fourth Kalpa. You have been warned.

For all the Lower Mainland people reading (probably also applicable to the Island and northern WA), boil your water.
Now, back to studying for Chem. And by 'studying for Chem', I mean 'trying to study for five minutes before going and playing video games'.

Pretty much spoiler-free, but cut anyway, because it will likely be long, and nobody cares. Well, Megan might, but nobody else does XD; I know seventy hours in is possibly a big late in the game, but eh, whatever. It was on my mind last night after the fire alarm, though.

I'm going to kill someone. I've had two hours of sleep. I have to be up in five hours for my crappy-ass Bio lab. The fire alarm just went off. When I find who's responsible, I am going to kill them, because I am sick and tired and do not appreciate being woken up at three am.
I am sad that I no longer have a Nocturne gaming-buddy - guess it's just me and GameFAQs now. Poking around the Fourth Kalpa at the moment - I've been playing Psychonauts some, but I'm determined to collect _everything_, which gets a bit mind-numbing.
Also, damn you Atlus. The Persona 2 reissue is, of course, already out of stock again - used copies are still pretty cheap, but now I'm waffling about it. Particularly as I also really really want a DS. And need a cellphone. And thus possibly a job that gives me hours sometimes.
EDIT: Also, this game is never going to make me stop quoting Good Omens. For instance -
Map label: 'The Road to Hell'
Me: "...is paved with frozen door-to-door salesmen!"

Screw Bridget, all the poets are gay for Virgil. No, really - I think I may have found something that tops the shameless fanboy-ism of the Divine Comedy. Tennyson's 'To Virgil' - I think the title alone says it all.
Though I still claim Dante/Virgil OTP!
(Paper is done, yaaaay)
Though I still claim Dante/Virgil OTP!
(Paper is done, yaaaay)
What I want to be doing: Working on my Supernaturnal/DMC crossover (yeah, I caved)
What I am doing: Writing my English paper.
Shouldn't have put it off, argh. But nooo, I just had to let Rosie and Justin talk me into going to Metrotown today. I'm half done, which means I won't be up all night doing it, but damnit, I'm sick and tired, I want to sleep. And I'm still cellphoneless because of BC's age laws - I'm not of age here until next March, which means I can't enter into a legal contract, which means I can only get a pay-as-you-go phone which are even crappier deals than the contract plans.
On the plus side, I gave myself a much-needed little ego-boost today by dressing up some - there are few things more awesome than walking to Chem in big strappy platform boots, black jeans, black button-down and silver tie, and my black leather trenchcoat with 'Anarchy' playing on my mp3 player. Although the appreciative stares I got from a few of the Wargamers is up there - it's always nice having people appreciate my aesthetic.
Also, entirely unrelated, but I keep meaning to say it and forgetting - Jo from Supernatural is pretty much my Eva, age 18 or so, incarnate. Well, maybe more plaid flannel and less bell-bottoms, but with Eva, we're talking 60s, so it's understandable. But the looks? The inexperience? Hell yes.

-The Wargamers are significantly more bent than I previously thought
-Bacardi 151 tastes like burning
-Real porn is kind of boring
-Total straightness in a guy is a turn-off
-Watching very tall guys making out with very short guys is funny XD;
Yeah, so, we had a little mini-Wargamers party Friday night. It was, in short, made of awesome. I got more tongue in one evening than I have ever, pretty much.
Yesterday was a little bit more low-key - my dad is visiting, so I went and had dinner with him and we wandered around some. Right now, I am off to go to the movies with him, w00t.

The hard decision has been made. I wish I felt better about it, but hey, if it made me feel good it wouldn't have been a hard decision. I'm back up to my usual LJ-reading standards now (if you're on the flist, you're being read), although I'm still not going to be on AIM and MSN - need a bit more personal time, plus I have an English paper to write and people visiting this weekend (Speaking of, Matt, drop me an e-mail when you know when you're coming by).
It's almost sad how easy I am to cheer up, though XD; I came in and checked the caf menu after another walk on Wreck Beach, and was instantly happier when I saw it was taco night tonight. So yes. If you ever want to bribe me, food is probably a good way to do it.

Argh. Well, so much for a good grade in my Bio class - got 66% on the midterm, after scaling, mostly because apparently the answer he wanted to the second long essay question was something entirely different from what the question seemed to imply and thus what I wrote.
And I feel like ass today - I'm half-tempted to skip the MISA Undergrad Research Night tonight, even though it will probably be interesting and informative, in favor of sleeping. I'm also currently facing one of the harder decisions I've had to make in my life, and it's really not helping right now.

It says something about my inability to learn languages that I looked back at my notes from the last time I took Japanese, about a year and a half ago, and I have no idea what half the stuff I wrote means any more. Damnit, languages, why must you mock me D:?
I did make a minor break-through on the crab-thing, though, in finally managing to identify that they're poikilotherms. Found one article that might be helpful, except that while the library webpage claims we have an online subscription to the journal it was in, we apparently don't, because it keeps asking me for login info. If someone else has access and would like to e-mail me the PDF, I'd be eternally grateful - link is here.
EDIT: Skuld sent me a copy - thanks ♥

I officially hate green shore crabs, I think. Yes, my Bio lab is made of lame. I have to write about the response we're measuring in our experiment, which basically boils down to metabolism, which is stupidly hard to find things on.
I've gone to the language circles at I. House for the last two weeks now, and there is one guy who keeps coming to the Japanese circle who makes me hurt inside. I can tell he means well, but he's one of those really loud people who thinks everything he says is a lot funnier than it actually is, and thus won't shut up. And his pronunciation is soul-burningly bad. And I've forgotten so much, I hate it.
Also, I really hope someone has written Supernatural/DMC crossover fic, because if they haven't, I'm going to have to, and that can't lead anywhere good.

I'm not going to be on a whole lot in the next week and a half - will still post and check LJ occasionally, but while I usually pretty much guarantee that if your on my flist, I'm reading your posts, this will not be true, and I will likely not be around MSN and AIM either. I will, however, be checking my e-mail regularly, still, so if you need or want to get in touch with me for whatever reason, that's the way to do it - cocoa[at]tokyo-tower[dot]org, same one I use for MSN.
This is partly because I've got lots of stuff to do in the next week and a half, including people visiting (yay!), and partly because I need a little time away from my internet life to work some stuff out. The second bit may take more than a week and a half, honestly...I'll let people know when I'm back around more.

I've finally got this layout I've been working on for the last two months cracked, I think. Need to run it by Jo first, if she's ever actually _on_, but I'm pleased. Maybe I can finally do up some new layouts for my stuff now.
The rest of the evening has been spent on Nocturne - got through one of the Fiend battle, and the main storyline boss battle after that, which leaves me stuck at the final Fiend battle. Argh. I can tell already it's going to be one of those ones that make me want to cry and/or throw my controller at walls, but I can't get any further until I've finished it, so I may as well just suck it up.
Also, Dutch lavender-flavored candies = strangely delicious.
EDIT: Also, why do I think Alexia and Chiaki would get along splendidly? If they didn't kill each other first, mind you.

Because kidavi inspired me - what I'm playing right now, and what I want to play, spoiler-free. Making lists, yay!
( I <3 lists. And games )
...I mourn the period of my life where I just played Final Fantasy games. That was sad. And no, FF wasn't my introduction to video games - that honor goes to Zelda, which remains one of my favorite series of all time. Which is probably why action-adventure gameplay is my favorite.

Dear Atlus,
I'm going to come and kill all of you in your sleep. And then take your games.
-Me
I was price-checking the DDS and Persona games (the first because I've wanted them for a while, and the second because Megan's gameblogging has got me intrigued), and the first of each are $60 used on Amazon, and the second of each are more like $25. Tell me, oh wonderous internets - are they worth getting while they can still be had for under $50?
