A belated Happy Imbolc

A belated happy Imbolc to all (and Happy Groundhog Day too)! We had a huge snowstorm up here. It was a quiet Imbolc, given that I'm still trying to organize things around here and get into some sort of flow.

Got back to belly dance this week. I realized how much I missed it. I'm going to get a mirror for the living room, so that I can practice in a larger space. Having the stereo handy will be nice too. It's sucks trying to belly dance with an iPod.

I finished LocoRoco! All 5 worlds. I'm so happy. I never beat video games! I never manage to stay focused enough to keep to one game (I'm inflicted with "Oooohhh Shiny!" syndrom)

I figure I'll try to stick to one console and one handheld game at a time. So right now it's FFVII & Sonic Rivals (I got in on sale at Zeller's. I picked up the last copy they had. Yeah me!) We'll see how that goes.

I'm back

I always have a hard time blogging when I've gone wandering for too long. I feel like I have to recap everything, but this time there seems to be so little to re-cap. Things have kind of been ho-hum and dreary. My in-laws have finally moved on, and anyone who knows me well, knows I have a hard time living with others. I'm don't like people disturbing my processes and I've grown quite fond of the ivory tower I've built for myself. It's not that I dislike my in-laws or that they are hard people to live with. On the contrary. I feel that I am a hard person to live with, and end up feeling bad for it the whole time.

But that has passed, and "normal" life is taking over, what ever that may be. :)

My birthday was last week and Shaggy got me an awesome gift! A PSP slim. I'm so happy with it. I've been spend way too much time enjoying LocoRoco. But it's so fun and so relaxing. Almost in a mantraish sort of way. "Stop stressing out and just roll this little ball around!" I'm already over half way done. And I'm really really bad at finishing video games.

Speaking of unfinished video games, I've been a Final Fantasy fan for sometime now. But I've never actually finished a game. I love the story lines and the characters but I tend to jump around and want to play the latest greatest thing. But I think I finally have a reason to sit down and actually finish FFVII (the first FF game I bought):

They made a FFVII prequel!

That's like the next best thing to remaking FFVII itself (which I hope they do. It's the series 20th anniversary. They re-released I, II, and Tactics, so there's still hope!)

I came late to the FFVII scene. It was so cool looking in Grade 9 but when I finally got a copy of it myself in college the graphics were soooo dated that it's almost hard to play. I actually prefer sprites to the first 3d rendered images.

But I know I'm going to want to play the new one, so I'll hunker down and work through the old one. FFVII is a great game with a great story. So I think I'll hook up the PS2 today (Shaggy hasn't gotten around to doing that. He's been too busy with the Wii & Guild Wars) take advantage of the fact that since Shaggy is so obsessed with Guild Wars that I'll have the TV to myself for a bit and finally play through one of the great games of gaming history.

See I told you people my life is boring. I'm blogging about playing a PS One game in 2008. :P
