Yesterday was a very good day.
For some silly reason, I woke up at 6h20 AM, very unusual. My father had to be somewhere far at 8h, so everyone was up already. We had breakfast, my father left, my mother went back to bed. I hopped into the shower, and when I came back I was zero zero sleepy. And it was about 7h20 by then, so I decided not to return to bed, which very often fails (it is not uncommon for me to turn left and right in bed for hours nowadays, I wonder what is wrong). And so my one and only problem for the whole day appeared: I had to decide if I would go on playing Final Fantasy Tactics or start Valkyrie Profile.
The morning was spent in Final Fantasy Tactics, as part of the afternoon. I was frustrated after a battle where the main hero (which I called Ainmeal, in homage to the savior of Loures) fights a demi-god character all by himself. Hah! As I said, “after” that battle. Everyone I spoke to and every walkthrough I read say this is among the worst battles in the game. No big deal for me. The problem, as I said, was after that battle: there is another one, which I found a lot more difficult – in spite of what everyone says (I am a fan of swords, mind you; no need to tell me it is much easier with Time Magic and Summon). Having lost, I stopped playing for the day.
Something I have to mention: I am a bit revolted with FFT. Among the myriad of swords and axes and guns and flails, the most powerful weapons for female fighters are the bags and purses that cost a fortune! At least the best armor is not a bikini, but Squaresoft could have lived without that one.
Gaming done, I started writing a long e-mail concerning the situation of Rangers in Temuair. It was sent to the few Rangers that are not the Praetorian Guard of Eduardo the Dull. I only hope they respond. 16 hours already and no response! It was so perfectly written that I am proud of myself and think they should get rid of Eduardo the Dull, Stilgar the Marionette, Erenthar the Null and Kivrin the Pointless just because I traced such a great course of action to drive the masses against them and wrote it so flawlessly and brilliantly. I should start a worldwide political movement against idiocy and pointlessness.
While writing that e-mail, I found a good friend online who pointed me to a great comic which satirizes 8-bit RPG. So I finished writing the e-mail and went to read it. Distasteful at some parts, but very funny overall. After reading lots of it, I was invited to watch Monsters, Inc., which my sister rented. Inocuous, but cute and funny.
By then it was close to 1h AM, so I ate something and tried to read more of the comics, but many days of bad sleep pulled me down. To Dreamland I went.
And today will certainly not be as good a day. It already started bad. Hopefully it will not be anywhere close to January 14th.
