People need to get up soon, because I am starving. Of course, the best way to get someone up, is to actually go get something to eat. But I don’t want to do that, because Mom’s had a yen for potato pancakes, and despite years of making fun of me for not wanting to do stuff like that alone, she won’t go to Perkins by her lonesome and have some. So instead I’m going to sit here and be hungry and send hateful “wake up!” thoughts in her direction.

In other, more (less?) interesting news, Faded Skies actually has a new layout up. The old one had been up for three years. THREE YEARS. And I didn’t even particularly like it. Ugh. I’m hoping maybe this implies a trend towards me actually having layout ideas. And actually finishing them.

It probably doesn’t.

I finished The Third Age yesterday. Battling Sauron was a bitch. Especially since Aragorn left us the instant before the battle began, the big thieving pussy. And then Sauron kept casting Paralyzing the Light eight million times in a row, which disabled our magic, thus rendering Idrial damn near useless, and then kept throwing Darkest Fear at Berethor, making him COMPLETELY useless. Which meant Morwen the only one could really do anything, and mostly what she did was die. Thank god for Aura of the Valar, and the single turn (turned double turn with Frenzy!) that Idrial had between resurrection and being rendered magicless again.

Part of me wants to play it again, simply because I took a very large break in playing sometime during the first disk, and as a result don’t really remember it much at all. What stops me is mostly that I do remember fighting the Balrog, and that sucked a couple different kinds of ass.

Maybe one of these days I’ll get around to finishing Tales of Symphonia. I love it a lot, I just got really sick of leveling up. I’m not a power leveler, I just can’t stand to do it. I’m more the “scrape through the major battles by the skin of my teeth” type. Which tends to vex power levelers, for some reason.

*sighs* If Mom’s not up by 9:30, I’m fucking finding something to eat. I’m HUNGRY.
