tammaiyaOne of those updates that sometimes happens. Changed a few little things about my LJ-- interests, profile, name. No major overhauls, but. I also went through and did my comment/email backlog. I wish I didn't have the habit of letting these things build up. ^^;
Let's see, last time I updated was... Friday. Huh. Saturday, didn't do much until we went out for dinner to the Chairman & Yip, one of the best fine dining restaurants in Canberra (which is the city with the most restaurants per capita in Australia, for the statistically inclined). The cuisine is sort of modern Chinese-Australian, though it's more Chinese inspired than anything. You share the food and the dishes have an oriental bent but there is also elements of French cuisine and you eat with cutlery, not chopsticks.
Anyway, the service was very prompt (3 courses in about 2 hours) and the food was excellent, so I think that was a good idea on my part. (I suggested we go out to dinner, since Chas was going back to Sydney Sunday, and I chose the restaurant. Usually dad does that kind of stuff.)
Sunday I went to Mari's and surprised her (not on purpose) by coming about 5 minutes earlier than I said (2.30-3pm) when she was expecting me to be about 2 hours late. XD That was funny. She was very flustered because she ALWAYS expects Jen and I to be late... and we always are. But I didn't call her to say I would be there around that time until I was half-ready and Marie was dropping me off on the way to meeting someone herself so I was more accurate than usual in my estimation. *amused*
As for today, I cooked dinner. It was pumpkin soup, of which there's lots left over for lunches. It was maybe a bit thin but it tasted good.
Mm, what else... I got an account for my HECS fee today from uni. They're going to have to send another one, one of the subjects is wrong. Not that it matters because they're the same band so they cost the same, but I know from experience they will because they want their records right. The reason there's a wrong subject on there is that I can't enrol in one of my courses without a permission code (because I haven't done Spoken Japanese 1 & 2. NEVER MIND THAT I DID 3 & 4 LAST YEAR.) and I'm still waiting ever less patiently for admin to email me one, me having emailed the lecturer as told last week. On the continued topic of my second semester woes, the aforementioned course still isn't up on the timetable (classes start in a week) along with all the tutes for one of my law classes and I suspect my very favourable timetable is going to be destroyed when they're scheduled, and I just realised today that I have to get my books. I don't even know what my books are or when I'm going to have time to get them. sajfkl;sjklf;asdjkf;la!
Thinking about uni is infuriating and frustrating me, especially since I have to get up early on Wednesday to make sure I can enrol in the lecture I want for International Law (who the hell has enrolments for LECTURE streams? pah), so I'm changing the subject. >(
Um. Today I bought Tales of Legendia and Big Brain Academy over the internet. I wish I wasn't so weak to discounts. >< Especially very large limited-time-only discounts. Oh well.
I procured myself the PotC 1 & 2 sountracks, and some Tales of Phantasia cd dramas etc. While I was doing that latter, I also did an online IQ test, because the link was there and I was bored. I'm sure they're all very innacurate etc, but they're fun enough to do, so why not.
Congratulations, Siobhan!
Your IQ score is 138
This number is based on a scientific formula that compares how many questions you answered correctly on the Classic IQ Test relative to others.
Your Intellectual Type is Visionary Philosopher. This means you are highly intelligent and have a powerful mix of skills and insight that can be applied in a variety of different ways. Like Plato, your exceptional math and verbal skills make you very adept at explaining things to others — and at anticipating and predicting patterns. And that's just some of what we know about you from your IQ results.
Then it's all, if you pay us we can talk for 15 pages. And I said, "uh... pass, thanks."
Been playing Narikiri dungeon 1, which is cute but makes me make decisions about how I want the characters' personalities to change. I hate decision-making! D: Although this is one decision at the beginning that wasn't quite so hard:
You input your name, then your gender, then it asks you how you'd like the twins you're looking after to refer to you.
1. by name
2. parent/sibling
3. as a GREAT PERSON
Subset of 1: Siobhan-san
Subset of 2:
- Okaa-san
- Mama
- Onee-chan
- Aneki
Subset of 3:
- Master (go-shujin-sama)
- The great and beloved you (ai-suru anata-sama)
- Oh wonderful person (subarashiki kata)
- Oh leader who will be great (idai naru shidousha-sama)
I went with Onee-chan. I really don't have the kind of issues that make me crave being called Oh-leader-who-will-be-great by a couple of pixelated 13 year olds. Anyway, it's too long for a name. XD
Tonight when I was feeding the dog I banged into the door. My left knee and toes are KILLING me, I can't bend the toes. Oops.
I know I said there'd be more Gakuen Heaven and Tales of Destiny remake soon, but this entry is already long enough and it's mostly for my own benefit anyway, especially the latter, so today is not that entry.
... AND TWO OR SO HOURS LATER I REALISE I DIDN'T HIT POST. *facepalm* Smart, me. Since this entry is still here, I wish Winamp would find a way that you could change filepaths of things in the media library, because it's very annoying to have to delete the songs and readd them when you're shifting folders around.

Date: 2006-07-10 04:27 pm (UTC)I dunno if it's still there, mind, since I haven't used WinAmp in... probably close to three years. And I think it didn't actually have a browse function, so you had to know the filepath, but there was a "Filepath" option, right next to "File Information" where you could fiddle with the name/artist of the song.
Good luck?
