More money down the drain...

Made an unexpected purchase yesterday - visited EB Games at Montgomery Mall while I was there, and ended up walking out with Super Bust-A-Move (Puzzle Bobble) 2... and SNES carts of Chrono Trigger and Final Fantasy III US ^^;; They actually had copies hidden behind some boxes behind the counter. And, with CT at $40 and FF3 at $35, they were pretty much a steal, even though they were cartridge-only. CT is currently on extended loan to Dave (hopefully he won't take time off work just to play it ^^;) but I'm not sure what I'm going to do with FF3 - I already have a copy, though mine isn't in as good condition as this one, but the one I have has all my saves and stuff, too... perhaps it doesn't really matter anymore, since my best save was on the PSX version, anyways...

In any case, I went to CP as expected - played lousy since I haven't played there since forever -_- Also played a few rounds of SC2. Some guy tried to insert credits because he wanted to play against me, but I wanted to finish my Conquest game, so I asked him to wait until I was done with the conquest before he inserts credits. He looked on the verge of getting pissed. Apparently, he didn't know what Conquest mode was and thought I was some nutcase or something, but I didn't care. I don't like getting my conquest games interrupted, especially at CP where each game is disgustingly expensive. It was a good thing I refused him, too, since after I left, all he did was jam the buttons and wildly wiggle the joystick. Damn button jammers.

Went to Dave's as planned - of course, the first thing we do is open and play CT. Dave asks if he can buy CT off me repeatedly throughout the night ^^; Though I'd like to oblige, I really did want that cart for myself... though I have no problem letting him borrow it until he's done with it. He might buy one of my copies of FF3 at some point, though. Played some of Super Bust-A-Move 2 as well - I still don't know if I like to play with or without chain reactions... I'm used to not having them, but they add an interesting dynamic to the game. However, a lot of the chains most people get are just dumb luck. I've accidentally cleared my entire screen at least 3 times in that game already.

Anyways, came back, checked the new copy of FF3 to see if it worked (apparently, EB's refurbishing policy involves playing the game for at least two hours, then saving in all 3 save slots, since both games had identical data in all save slots, two hours in), then slept. Woke up kinda early today, somehow, and ended up coming down here to get a drink, since I was really thirsty. I'll probably head back to sleep in a minute...

Today, I want to get that timing job out of the way, at least. I was thinking of going to Suncoast and picking up some of the new releases (Cowboy Bebop Best Sessions is out!) but I think I'll wait until my work shift on Thursday to do that.
