With Firefox's increasingly harder to work with system, plus the fact that Google Chrome has its own Livejournal Login addon, I swapped to this after hearing good things about it. I'm glad I did because it's much lighter and easier for my system to run. It hasn't frozen and feels like early Firefox 2.0 all over again.

Most importantly, I can swap to this screen and type and then play WoW on the other or use my photoshop for icons without having to worry about the system freezing up on me. It's pretty good all things considered.

Definitely good. This is a really nice browser.

1) Any form of McGriddle will put me to sleep for like 4 hours afterwards. Hands down. I should stick to wraps.

2) Mom and grandma started yet another series, I think it's Chinese. I should see if I could burn Kamen Rider and maybe they'd like that. Cause the poor subbing on everything is terrifying. It makes my inner writer cry.

3) I'm hungry. But grandma insists on feeding me mashed potatoes today. Why? Is it like potato fest or something? Seriously? Just by itself? Nothing like say turkey or whatever? Meh.

4) I should go get something to eat. But I don't want to get potatoes crammed onto my plate.

With any luck, mom is being released tomorrow from the hospital. I'm planning on calling ahead first to make sure that this isn't a wasted trip. Cause really, three trips to Edmonton in three days is asking for me to go completely batshit guano loco.

On a note of things, I need a PS3 HD cable. I have a HD tv so I need a cable accordingly. Prongs are a thing of the past!

Yeah, new PS3 now. Got myself Atelier Rorona which I'm sure I'm going to enjoy with fumbly Rorona as the leader of this party. I played the original Atelier Iris, and I still HAVE it in my game library. It was fantastic and a lot of fun. It helped that it was made during the tail end of the PS2 awesomesauce run for NIS.

The other game I got was Cross Edge (sorry Mags, I'll get those other games later!), and it's a game that I half expected to be purchased for a Kings Ransom and USED. But this time around it was a fresh copy. Never been used. I was downright pleased and quite surprised since getting a NIS game this late into the release is like finding King Solomon's Mines.

Cross Edge is a funny little thing in the realm of video games, a collaboration of FIVE different creators including favorites Capcom, NIS and a surprising addition of Gust who has deemed to get into the mainstream a little more with this. There's a couple of others such as Imagine Factory and what not, but hey, this is a game where you do power attacks while dressing people up in new costumes in order to agument their abilities.

Oh and York is a tool. I'm pretty sure he'll be even more badass later, but right now he's all Adell with less tact if you can believe that. He gives off the standard NIS Combat Wombat mentality, and isn't phased when Morrigan Aensland talks about a "burning heat in her bosom".

He must be gay or something cause Miko is a hottie even compared to the Queen of Succubus.

Another thing though. Since mom is a big issue in my life, read I need to do everything now, I'm going to be parring back on RP officially in a bit. This means of course that every Tom Dick and Jane will ask me for tags, threads, etc. It's how it always GOES.

But I'm standing my ground here. I NEED time to readjust. There will be cooking, cleaning, shopping, laundry. EVERYTHING. I am a one-man army and this is what I'm doing right now. As such, tomorrow I'm probably even going to wind up sheeting mom's BED before she lays down in it. THAT is how bad off she is right now, despite walking everywhere.

So yeah, if I don't tag or if I blatantly ignore tags in favor for mind-numbing video games or WoW or WHATEVER, don't be too mad. Because I am relaxing, I need this time before I do anything ELSE. Tomorrow before I leave I gotta call an appointment into the Lacombe Ford, and then as WELL call the locksmith for our fubared door handle.

I have a life, and right now it's another shift. If you can't understand that, it means you have nothing to do but wait on a tag.

And that's sad.

Really.

You know when I woke up today, the first thing I realized was that it was still pitch dark outside. Concerned that I had somehow managed to sleep through the entire day, I checked the clock.

6:32 am.

After letting a "Aw man..." pass through my lips I reluctantly get up because I am fully rested and I feel GREAT. It's just six in the morning s'all. Making a cup of coffee cause I like my coffee, I can't help but feel kinda annoyed that I'd be up this early on a patch day especially since WoW's going to be down till 1pm.

But I suppose I could just play the 360 until it's back up. Not yet though. Wait till people are awake so I won't disturb them.

Eight hours sleep. Well, it's better than the 5 I had the day before. I actually feel human again. And that annoying sick feeling has gone away too.

EDIT: hellish workweek aside, I have 340+ in my wallet not counting the myriad loonies and twonies in coins.

I'm glad I have SOME kind of income despite how tiring the weekend was.

EDIT: Oh goddamn, servers won't be up till THREE today. And knowing Blizz's track record with this sort of thing, it might be down for even much later.

I'd attempt playing FF14 but I simply don't have the machine to run it. I'd play some box but mom's watching the Live Action Korean version of Boys Over Flowers.

EDIT: The work has been extended to 4PST which is 5PM my time. Why oh why did I even expect to be able to PLAY on my off day?

At least I have Totalbiscuit to keep me company. Don't be surprised when my language has shifted to British English now.

I think I'm coffee addicted again. Considering I can't function anymore with at least two cups a day, yeah...

If I don't have a cup in the morning, I wind up sleeping for most of the day to catch up my energy levels. Not cool.

So I downloaded the PTR 4.0.1 for WoW with all of it's Cataclyms Bells and Whistles. So far I am INCREDIBLY impressed at how this PTR is functioning. All of my new spells, bells and whistles are here.

Crusader Strike at level 1, Primal Strike at 3, Holy Power, Lunar Power, loladins...

EDIT: 10:44 am

Hunters. Have starting pets. This is important.

And no Ammo. What, do they just um, pull it out from somewhere? I can think of where a girl hunter would hide her arrows but uh...

Akino you may slap me.

EDIT: 11:12 am

HOMG I'm really looking forward to leveling up my hunter now. Lots of awesome.

Also, the North Sea is AWOL. PST if you find it.

EDIT: 11:34 am

Wow. They really did a number on Warriors. In a good way. Strike is a fantastic mechanic and it really makes the character more intuitive other than "auto attack and wait for Heroic Strike".

EDIT: 11:52 am

2 things of note.

1) Rogues don't have combo points delivered to them by Sinister Strike. This makes me a sad panda.

2) People are camping Sarkoth. WTF.

Edit: 12:55pm

Rolled a Tauren Druid. I named him Genericfood.

Obviously I am running out of name ideas. However, his powers are AWESOME.

Edit: 2:03 pm

Just got out of Utgarde Pinnacle as my Shaman. I dunno what I enjoy better; the 14,000 crit Earth Shocks, the Earthquake or the leveling aspect that'll come with me rolling a brand new Shaman somewhere.

Edit: 2:40 pm

Paladin. Meh. I think it'll do me good to re-learn the class from the ground up when I roll my holy cow.

Damn. I shoulda realized that the Auto-Backup program was running when I deleted all of that anime and movies and pictures. I lost most of it. Nanoha, Medabots, Bakugan, the whole nine yards.

Can't even system restore to get those files back. They're gone.

Well, you win some you loose some.

Haruna is horrible.

Details below.

Haruna doesn't solve problems; she makes them WORSE.

Got a rejection notice from xi_rpg. To be honest? I'm not mad at all about being rejected. Considering how over the top Jack is, I'd be damn surprised if he was actually accepted.

At least now I can relax, knowing how it went through.

Though I have to now wait for the application for Pokeology and Axiom to finish. Seriously, what the hell people. Speed up just a TAD. That way I can relax for a while.
