Nice to see the bots haven't bothered to stop trying. (Yes, yet another hit was added after I wrote this entry. Just in case you're wondering why there are two of them now. Both fell under the exact same blacklisted regex criteria, too.) Additionally, I'm thinking of requiring preview before post of every comment, but so far, that's proving to be unnecessary.
Saturday was rather interesting... I started out by going to SF since Ant'Dog was going to be up for a visit. He's stationed in North Carolina now instead of Korea, so he's a bit less out of reach for the moment. ^^; It was nice to chat with him for a bit again. Found out there were plans for the rest of the Springfield people, but since I already had to go to FF:CC, I couldn't join in. So, I completely failed to see Hanna even once during her break. (At least, I think her break was last week...)
After finding out the GameStop at SF had completely run out of GBA to GC connectors, I had to go to EB to pick it up instead. Turns out they were charging $3 more for the same cable. (Gee, I wonder why GameStop ran out and they didn't...) I ended up picking up the MadCatz brand instead of going for their grossly overpriced Nintendo brand cable. After that, I finally headed up to Dave's apartment, only an hour later than I had planned. >.>
Naturally, by the time I got there, there was no time to watch Neko no ongaeshi, but we did watch most of Ghiblies ep2 while we were eating. I forgot to show them the blurb at the end, so I'll have to do that this Saturday... and hopefully we can watch the movie then too. We didn't get too far in the game - we're on the verge of completing year 4, but a rather annoying maze-like dungeon had us opting to just leave it for next time. So, we completed a total of one dungeon.
I still ought to pick up Amplitude. I'm still considering it, mostly because I don't like the musical selection in it, and that's a pretty big issue with a music game...
We left after a few games of Amplitude (I won one match on Normal difficulty despite having not played the game at all, but was killed in the higher difficulties). Josh, Kevyn, and I stopped off at a 7-Eleven before I dropped them off at their houses, though Kevyn was housesitting for someone else at the moment. I like how that particular 7-Eleven had me standing in front of the hot dogs for over 3 minutes before they realized I wanted a hot dog.
Other than that, I haven't done much, as usual... I think I've hit a stonewall in pop'n music again. I had to give Ii hito (Lover's Pop) EX some 20 tries before I finally cleared it, and barely. --;; That's only a 33, too... Love^2 Sugar (Eurobeat) hyper pretty much kicked my ass too, and I only beat it by clearing the Expert course it was on (coming into the song with a full gauge, and having 4 bars left by the end). Argh.
And you might be wondering what this post's title is about... it's just a reminder to myself to pick up the Tsubasa wa Pleasure Line single at some point. I couldn't care less about the Chrno Crusade anime (it sounds like fun, but a rental at best), but I really like the song. ^^;
