The site went down at about 11:35pm last night. Not sure why - someone terminated the httpd process without telling me. Looks like the server's been rebooted recently too... at least it's running a LOT faster now.

Anyways, I went out yesterday to try and deposit the ADV check. Seems that they wanted a paystub before they would accept a deposit with funds immediately usable - so I ended up taking the check back and only depositing the $80 in cash (my mom gave me $100 in cash in the morning as her present). I'll go back today, to a different branch, and try again.

I still did a Best Buy run, even though I only had about $80 of spendable money in my account. Obviously, it wasn't enough to get a PS2, but I did buy a couple few things - Grave of the Fireflies remaster, Gitaroo Man, and a cheap PS2 component a/v cable. After that, went onwards to Dave's, picked him up, and we went to City Place.

We ate at Subway first, then played a few rounds of DDR 5th. Ugh - Rhythm and Police single maniac and Petit Love double maniac still fail me out. -_- It was fun doing Furuhata's Theme double maniac again though - it's been a long time since I've had a chance to play on a 5th Mix machine. Kevyn comes in at one point, we play a little SC2 conquest mode (I end up starting a new character simply because I'm bored), and then decide to head back to Dave's. Kevyn picks up stuff from the class that he's effectively skipped the latter part of, and we go to the appt.

At Dave's, we decide to try out Gitaroo Man. Dave plays all the way through the tutorial, since neither Dave nor Kevyn have seen the game before. They both take shots at the first stage, but both fail (though Dave got really close). I take a stab at it, and somehow pass the 1st and 2nd stages on the first attempt (finally passed Flyin' To My Heart, yay...) but get murdered on the 3rd stage. Kevyn tries it once - since he couldn't pass the 1st stage, the results were predictable =P We try a quick VS. match, since I actually managed to unlock a couple songs. Dave and his new roommate bring out a slice of leftover cake with an odd-looking candle sitting in it. o.O The birthday song is sung within 4 seconds since we're in a hurry, I try to finish the slice within 2 minutes, and we take our leave, since Dave and his roommate want to get to sleep. Since I don't have a PS2 yet, I leave Gitaroo Man there so Dave can play it for a couple days, since his roommate complained that he plays Kingdom Hearts too much ^^;

Not much happened after that... dropped Kevyn off at home, then went home myself, then slept, then woke up, then restarted this web server. Today, my mom woke me up early and told me to mow the lawn, saying it was nice weather today. I just opened the door - it's FREEZING!! NOT my idea of nice weather -_-

Oh well... I suppose I'll mow the lawn, then I'll do the bank and Best Buy thing again... then I got work in the evening.
