tammaiyaHokaaaaaaaay, update time. Why? Because I am sleepy and at uni and am avoiding working on my APL tute problem, why else?
Yesterday was really lovely, or at least the first part. Got to uni at somewhere between 8.30~9 because mum was sick so I went in with dad, and![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
amayonolune and I went shopping until 1. Mostly clothes shopping, though we skimmed JBs and EB and stopped for lunch and Rainforest Magic tea at Cafe Essen.
(on a sidenote, I asked about Twilight Princess at EB, having been confused by the case at the Woden store. Apparently as I had suspected it was a pre-order kind of ad thing, and had it confirmed that there's no release date set yet. It should apparently be in Australia in about August, September. Having been to the Nintendo site I can also add that the Japanese release doesn't have a date on it yet either, though because of region codes I won't be able to import anyway.)
Then Mari and I went back to the ANU and she crashed the first hour of my Japanese Grammar double before going back to the UC, which was fun. Sensei kept asking her questions about certain sentences that are a grey area in Japanese (some native speakers think they're okay, some don't) as the token native speaker in the class. I think he quite liked her. *grin*
My day was vaguely marred by APL, because I think my lecturer really doesn't like me and Tristan and that has an effect on my ability to maintain attention and things. It's a long story. I'll just say we got told off for talking, which, while not loudly, was fair enough. But the thing that bugs me about that is sometimes I need to talk to people about things relevant to the lecture to make sure my notes or okay or whatever.
Anyway.
Mum picked me up, I got to go buy the dinner, got home at 6. Bummed around on the net unproductively for several hours, sort of ended up gravitating towards and away from Hotel Babylon on the tv. I was too tired and lacking in attention span to want to spend two hours watching tv but somehow I kept going back to watch large chunks of it, which says something about its magnetic attraction.
Also spent part of the evening vaguely contemplating buying a DS and Children of Mana online. Ended up getting locked out of both my internet and telephone banking because I couldn't remember my passwords. Whooooooo, go me. XD I don't know whether I should wait for the DS Lite to be released here or just get the old one. The old ones are $199, and I don't know when the DS Lites will come out or how much they'll cost. They cost about $250 on Lik-Sang, to which postage would have to be added. I'm playing Tales of Destiny right now so I guess it's not like I need Children of Mana right this instant, anyway.
Speaking of Tales of Destiny, I didn't turn it on until quite late last night which was probably stupid, but I didn't realise what I was getting myself stuck in. I finally beat the Mahha Shounen while I was half watching Hotel Babylon-- twice, in fact-- which was all very well and good, but then I got on a ship.
And then that ship was attacked by pirates. (Well, not like we encouraged them, but.)
And I was like, okay, whatev man, and went through the pirate ship grabbing all the treasure with the hope that there'd be a save point before the boss, which there wasn't, and said boss was really easy. And I was like, whoo, that took longer than I was intending to stay up, what with being tired, so hopefully the scene won't take too long and the ship will get into port and I can save and sleep.
But then there was another pirate ship, and I thought maybe there'd be a save point on my own ship, but nooooooooo. So I fought through the second pirate ship, exactly the same as the first only with different treasure.
Me: FINALLY. IT'S 12.30 NEED BED.
But noooooooooo, there was a third pirate ship. At about 1am I finished that one and was like "pleeeeeease please let me sleep now" but NO THERE WAS A FOURTH.
I might have got the times wrong. If there was a fifth ship. But anyway, on the fourth or fifth, whichever, the layout was finally different and I was like "FINALLY THIS MUST BE IT" and I went through grabbing the treasure and by this point avoiding the enemies-- because I'd already gone up like 5 levels from my determination to grab all treasure, and could beat them up pretty much with ease-- until finally, FINALLY I got to the boss.
And there was a save point.
And I went to bed.
HALLELUJAH. That was at 1.30, btw. But yes, that was very bad timing on my part. And it wasn't like I was just going to turn it off without saving. Then I'd have to do it all again. And I'd be very unhappy. Unhappier than just sacrificing my sleep. <<
In conclusion, I am very tired, I had Japanese this morning which was fun and I did well on the quizzes I got back, and I am tired. And I should be doing my APL tute problem but I don't WANNA. So nyer.

Date: 2006-05-09 04:11 am (UTC)...I don't know why Amazon told me it would be released on May 15. :F It now says that it'll be released here November 15, so you might get it before us?
