I can't believe it took me as long as it did to grasp the concept that Jhegaala was out and obtain it. That sort of thing must be reasonable cause for seppuku by my standards, but then again seppuku's not conducive to reading.

It was pretty nice. Loiosh is the greatest. I want to see more of these Dragaeran mannerist murder comedies. But someone really needs to get on top of the confusion between dead teckla and dead Teckla, it's getting unsettling.

Where do people get off charging $25 for a 300-page fantasy novel anyway? That's ridiculous. Curse my fangirling. I'm regretfully glad that I did pass on Trauma Center 2 for now, even though I've heard it's rather good. Still, there are yet more important games in my future. See autumn:

  • September 15 - Dragon Quest 4
  • September 22 - Kirby Super Star Ultra
  • ...Sometime in fall(?) - Castlevania: Order of Ecclesia
I mean, it's not as bad as this summer was, but with some luck it may turn out very close, and none of those titles are optional unless Castlevania somehow starts sucking at this point. Interesting how it's still all sequels and remakes. Whee Kirby Super Star~

Completely unrelatedly, I have determined that sleeping with a thick blanket wadded up in place of a pillow is awesome. Consider it: you can arrange it around your head, neck, and even shoulders if desired, having a wide range of possibilities in terms of shape and softness and whatever. Also the end result tends to provide some of the feeling of having a nest, which is always pleasant. Or maybe that's just me and my feral tendencies, but still.

It is news worth spreading! It's gonna have DS-quality FMV, which everyone loves, and... uh... likely other stuff! And probably a cruel lack of wi-fi! But that's okay, because it's Kirby Super Star. Also it currently looks like there'll be US box art where Kirby has not been edited to look angry.

...So yeah!

I have always been a believer in thin pillows that are easily moldable into different shapes or folded for different sleeping possibilities. While a blanket can accomplish the same thing, you have to wash the entire blanket instead of just a pillowcase!

But washing a blanket isn't really more work, it just takes up more space. Indeed, futzing around with pillowcases is a marginal yet extant added effort, so it evens out at most. Your proposal does have merit, but I'm skeptical of how much of the nesting feeling it could provide.

Holy shit, Jhegaala is out? I was about to reread my SIGNED COPY OF DZUR, OHOHOHOHO, but now I see there's something better.

Also, curse the 4 items I have left to procure in Etrian Odyssey before I can start the 2nd one. D:

Oh, god, so it's not just me? Maybe we can blame the system for not hyping it enough. Anyway, it's a good book.

And I do not know why you would subject yourself to something like that.

The problem is that I've already gotten this far, so it really doesn't seem like that much of an effort to get the rare drops from Wyrm, Drake, Wyrmoid, and Drakoid. Had I slacked off the entire game, it wouldn't be that big a deal.
