So sleeping in, relaxing, and doing absolutely nothing (technically- I did make pancakes, do some chores, and make dinner... but I mostly played FFX today) is great. I played FFX up to the Bevelle Highroad where I beat Seymour Natus and the Mortibody, then I saw the loverly scene in Macalania Woods. It's great replaying the game, because memories of FFX-2 are still fresh in my head, and I can see what's been changed.
( FFX always has me asking questions )
Speaking of FFX-2 though, I had downloaded another powersave from Codejunkies (the gamesave I'm using for FFX is also a powersave and is THE BEST THING EVAR! So what if it doesn't come with all the possible items or max gil? It came with a ton of spheres for the grid, with all abilities already activated and THAT has made my life so much more stress-free), but every time I play it, I can never progress past Buddy analyzing for spheres in the very beginning of Chapter 1. I did everything my guide told me to do, and then some-- I went through ALL the tutorials, talked to ALL the characters, got the items from the Engine Room, visited the Deck for fun, checked out some spheres, the dossier, and the beastiary, and took a rest-- nothing. Buddy keeps analyzing the sphere, while there's NOTHING left for me to do. I thought maybe the game file was corrupted, so maybe I can find another powersave. I thought it was weird that the game file had max gil and all the garment grids, plus 100% completion, but NOT all the dresspheres or items. That tells me it was a hacked file, rather than someone's New Game Plus file (with a few hacks). So I'm going to see if there's another one out there I can use, because I was never successfully able to get The End garment grid, and I think having it for Via Infinitio would make my life MUCH easier. :) I don't care if I don't get 100% completion just from the download, but I would like to be ABLE to get it without too much hassle. Honestly, the first time I played through FFX-2, I thought it was so unfair that my characters could be as leveled up as possible, with the most powerful dresspheres and the best accessories and STILL not even be able to GET to Trema. I think I got as far as the 81st floor before I kept dying at the hands of Chac. :(
However, I might actually be video-gamed out for the weekend; I need to do homework for various classes (mostly reading and a few critiques for Narrative Writing class), and I do need to clean my room (though I need to go to Target to get a tower of plastic drawers to put some of my "loose clothes" in-- I've decided to hang up as many clothes as I can fit in my closet, take out one of the fabric hanging drawer sets (well, "shelf" sets is more like it; things fall out all the time) and hopefully save some room on my bookshelves as well, putting actual BOOKS there instead of sweaters or pants! I also need more hangers...
Oh, my package that I sent myself from Japan arrived today. I'm glad everything came in one piece-- I got my mug, my bowl, my plate, my chopsticks, my Ariel cup from Tokyo Disney Sea, and a bunch of other assorted things. Baba and Grandpa's present hasn't arrived yet, though, even though I sent it through the same method on the same day. *worry* I hope it didn't get sent back to the Exchange Hall for some reason. I stayed in contact with one of the workers from Tokiwa's International Center, and they did get my postal money order-- but apparently the bill from Yahoo! BB didn't come yet! I find that really unusual... o_o;
I hope Midori can get back to them/me soon, to let me know about the bill, the possibility of my having left my old Memory Card there in Japan, the envelope she was supposed to send to Bonnie (she said she's been super-busy lately, so she hasn't had time to go to the post office to check the postage), or if my package came back. I hope it didn't, though, and I hope it doesn't get lost, either.
Anyway, I ended up taking a nap accidentally earlier, so I woke up because I couldn't sleep anymore. Now I've been awake for about 3 hours, but I'm tired again-- I guess it's a good thing, because hopefully I'll be able to sleep through the night and have a normal day tomorrow without messing up my schedule. I'm not TOTALLY motivated to do anything, but there are things I do want to do-- outside of playing more video games, of course. ^_~
