The only thing I’ve done of note in the last week or so is working on my game and playing a game or two when I get tired of coding.

This is the worst update ever.

Well, since Craig has moved down to big old London town it’s time to update this more often.

General life wise not much has happened. We all met up last tuesday and then we (minus Ruth) went to see Town. Not a bad film, better than I was expecting. Wednesday I signed on and told them about my parcel sorting. They gave me some forms to fill out which I had to dash home and fill out and then return asap. They’ve still not been fully filled in as I hadn’t been paid yet and didn’t know what to write in the pay section. Evening I met up with Craig and Grace again (as you know) to see Takers. Again not a bad film but some poor writing in parts. That whole internal affair sub-plot and and others didn’t go anywhere and felt pointless.

Friday I met my friend Miles. My trans friend. Who is now legally called ‘Devon’. Erm……….yeah.

While out with him her I picked up Final Fantasy: The 4 Heroes of Light for the DS. It is such a damn good game, it feels like the old ‘classic’ Final Fantasy games. So. Damn. Good. There’s a bit in the game where two of your characters get turned into animals. A girl gets turned into a cat and a boy into a dog. I figured the other two character, another boy and girl would also turn into a cat and dog based on their genders (boys = dogs, girls = cats). Later when I was able to turn the other boy into an animal I tried expecting him to become a dog. He turned into a chicken. I had a moment where I sat and giggled like a little child for a minute or so. I’m so childish.

I’ve been catching up on some american tv shows. Namely House and Stargate Universe. I’ve also decided to skip ahead in True Blood and have been watching my way through series 2. As of typing I’m up to episode 9. I think I’ll watch through series 3 afterwards too.

My parents keep asking me what I want for Christmas but I’ve no idea. The only things I can think of are CDs (which, thanks to Ruth, there are 11 I want) and DVDs (4 films, 2 boxsets). Other than those I’ve no idea. I’d add game to it but I’d just end up buying some of them before Christmas anyway. Best to leave them off until later.

I had a happy moment earlier to day when I logged into a Game Maker forum I’m on and found someone had PMed me asking me if I’d heard of a game called Cave Story because the game I’m making reminded that person of it. Cave Story is one of my favourite games and is a source of inspiration for my game. I was so happy when I read that message.

Aaaaaaand that’s all I can think of for now. See you guys later.

PS. I got a pay slip in the post and the pay for the parcel sorting has been paid into my account. I won’t have to go chasing around after it which I would be doing tomorrow if I hadn’t gotten it. Thankfully.
