game review: jeanne d'arc

warning: maybe spoilarz if you care!!! anyway. i think i'm done playing jeanne d'arc. it sucks because i really liked this game, and put several hours into it, until the very end, when it got all hard all of a sudden and wanted me to level up my characters a bunch to beat the last boss. i hate when games do that. THEN i beat that boss, but it wasn't the end, it was a trick and there was ANOTHER boss after that, that i couldn't beat... and it doesn't let you save in between. so, i think i'm done with it because it's just annoying me now. but, the good parts of the game before i got to the end were: 1) gameplay very similar to final fantasy tactics which is great 2) nice graphics 3) fairly interesting storyline 4) combining skills to create new skills is pretty fun. so if you have a lot of patience to level up your characters a bunch by doing the same level over and over at the end then go for it.

but now i think i'm ready to move on to some phoenix wright 3.

happy halloween!

guess which pumpkin i carved.

happy bday razmig

last night was my friend raz's bday... well actually his real bday is either today or tomorrow, he's not sure which. (?) so we went to this awesome & cozy restaurant called La Mediterranee. i'm not usually a huge fan of mediterranean food but what i ordered - 1 of each fillo dough wrap with vegetable lentil soup - was absolutely delicious. afterwards we went to a pretty cool bar called the Hemlock for some chillin. hope you enjoy your gummy tongues and instant critters raz!

so work is going pretty good these days, a lot of excitement in the air.

reunion

so now both kitties are back with me at my apartment! there was a short adjustment phase where snoopy had to get used to mr. peterson invading her territory. surprisingly mr. p adapted to the new place super quick! a little bit of hissing, a little bit of barfing, but nothing too terrible. Now things are back to normal, with snoopy trying to hit mr. p's tail or sniff her butt while she's eating, and mr. p her grouchy self.

i got this photo by holding up a baggie of dried fish flakes which mr. p loves. if you look close you can kinda see her mitten hands (she has thumbs) i should try to get a better pic of those.

lets see what else is going on...i got a cleaning person to clean my apt. twice a month so i'm excited about that. i'm trying to keep up with running 2 times a week, altho i have been a bit inconsistent it's just so hard to wake up early during the week! My fantasy football team (The Dungeon Lords) has been horrible so far this season, but oh well :p oh also my new psp arrived but i haven't played it yet. i'm still playing WoW, rogue galaxy and hotel dusk so i have too many games already. also to be honest i'm getting a little bored of video games lately... just a little tho. weird.

hi again

i haven't posted in a while so i thought i'd do a little update. last night i went to my friend Nathan "Bagel" Stapley's art show at Gallery 1988 in SF. i have wanted to buy one of his paintings for a while and i love how he draws people so i ended up buying this piece- i'm so excited about it (also it has an awesome frame)
also my friend Bob visited, he's living in Switzerland right now but he's american. here's a cartoon of us that i drew- Bob, David, Me (drawn by wendell), and Wendell.
We had a lot of fun going to great restaurants, shopping, and seeing the Simpsons movie which was really funny. A couple weekends later my sister visited with her new boyfriend Joe. It was also really fun and i took them to a couple of my favorite restaurants... i went shopping with them also but was able to restrain myself and only bought a candle. the candle smells really good like honeydew. here's a pic from their visit:
