(no subject)

this time, i let a lot of events pile up so i have enough for a decent post instead of little crap posts.

so hi.

it snowed like craaaaazy the 26th!
power went out too ;; lasted all day, jeez.
12 inches for sure, might've been a little more. we stepped out of the house about 10am and measured the snow that had built up on the truck's hood.
huge pic so here
dad couldn't find the old brush/scraper thing we had from our year in new hampshire/vermont, so he... grabbed a random shingle. yeah, a roof shingle. scraped/moved the majority of snow/ice off the hood/windshield/windows with it... what a nut.
so once you could actually see out of the truck, we went off! to see everything!!

beautiful snow covered tree
more trees
at this point dad and i were complaining about the camera's settings. at some point it started taking a few seconds before shooting, and we were getting annoyed.
there was some neat sights, flocks of birds startling, and flying across a white landscape... it was so awesome and i wanted pics, but birds move fast and just--ugh.
so i messed with the camera to see if i could fix it.
after that, the pictures i shot are smaller resolution for some reason :|


oh god i love this shot. white house, white snow, white everything just aaaahhh

here's a church just slightly down the road from my house. i always liked it's look but this is even better :)

just a little example of fail. hi dad!

there's the post office to the left, my house far off the picture to the right, and this is the main road, king street.

here's our "yard"
we don't actually own the land infront of our house lol ;;
the town does. and they just leave their vehicles and stuff there.
off-screen to the left's a freakin' ...i forget what they're called. those big vehicles with a digger-scoop thing on front.

so yeah we had a fun little excursion into the snow-covered town. also headed over to roanoke rapids too! visited some friends for awhile, then went to wings & rings because they're like one of the few restaurants open because of the weather ;;
ahhh i love their chicken tenders. well, because of their... sauce, i guess. they have several flavors and OH MAN i love the garlic parmesan!
it is. deeeeeelicious.
i had an order of 5, dad just drank beer. i said i'd share but he refused. :/

then we went home.

OH also while we were there i beat teikoku in inazuma!! 3rd try really is a charm lmfao.
(or it could be because we were in a sports bar? pff)
somehow previous tries, i couldn't get anyone near the goal and endou would run out of tp quick :<
but this time they like... never got near endou. teehee.
won 3-0!!!! heck yeah!!

we got home and dad wanted to get some pics of me in the snow. so we moved out back where there was plenty that hadn't even been walked in yet~

hm-hm.

I LOOK SO DERPY BUT YAY SNOW

it looks like i'm sitting but i swear i just let go and fell over.

my shirt flipped up in my fall, pff bare stomach peeks out.

walking back to dad COVERED IN SNOW!!!


i had fun!
next day i asked if i could get one little cheap game at gamestop
he wanted to go out and try to find work first since he, um, doesn't have any...!?
couldn't find some :<
but... yeah... one of his sisters sent some money she owed him from a few years back so... i thought one 5 dollar game'd be okay...?
then i saw guild wars eye of the north was on sale and went ffffff--
so i asked if he could spare 15. ;;
he was pissed that my request changed, so i said okay okay, just 5 then.
he handed me 15 after all.
okay then.
so i go in, since last time i knew exactly where the game i wanted was
but they moved everything around.
SCREAM.
so i wandered in circles for 30 damn minutes trying to find one certain game and
it was in a box with a million other games all in those stupid paper sleeves
when LAST TIME I SAW A REAL CASE FOR IT
aaaaah
the guild wars game wasn't in store so i was like 'um.'
when i was looking for the game, i found a sequel, so i decided to nab that too instead.
box was claiming 3rd game, when i got to the register the guy tells me they don't have the third, but the 2nd. yeah that's fine.
3rd was 10, 2nd is five, why complain about halving the price~?

SOOO
now i has: sly cooper 1&2, playstation 2 games
a friend who lived with me for awhile got me into this series lol
it's a fun action/platformer game. i love platformers yay!
...but rpgs are my true love, sry.

however, i can't play either one yet
my ps2 is japanese
i ordered a swapdisc + plastic thingies for my ps2
even though it's past christmas, the mail is still slow as heck
and i didn't order fast shipping either... well, when you're looking at shipping being 7 bucks or 30!! the choice is, honestly, obvious.

so i'm... waiting. sigh.


uh
i played more inazuma eleven, too
ran around finding the old guys who were part of the team 40 years ago and blah blah
had a-
holy shit i left the ds closed and on since 2 or 3pm and it's ...2 am. oops.
TOUGH LITTLE GUY'S STILL ALIVE /plugs in
okay um
had a little battle-match with the ninja guys
then blah blah the kids got trained for learning honoo no kazamidoori
last day before the match with igajima and... a match with the ~legendary inazuma eleven~!!!
endou explodes in a fanboy mess
lmao no he's just excited
i sat there playing the match while i had pizza in the oven
pizza got done before i finished the match so
i put it down figuring i'd get back to it after eating and just forgot about it OOPS

about to start the second half, neither team has any points. ;;


um
man the ds thing startled me so much i can't think of more to say
well
my wow subscription is up :<
back to guildwars i guess~ and smt imagine. haven't played on imagine with [livejournal.com profile] yuidirnt since she lost internet for a few days!


...
yeah, i'm out. gotta finish this match. hope i get at least one point ffs ;;

I love how little battery the DS uses when it's closed XD; Back when I first got mine and didn't know much about it, I was talking to my sister's boyfriend about his DS and noticed it had been closed. And he started telling me about how he leaves it like that for days and it's still good XD; Although now I use up my DS so much the battery isn't that strong anymore. At least battery replacements are cheap >w< ~

PSP hibernate mode is really awesome in battery life keeping too. Even better it doesn't do that light blinking to conserve even more energy. Still waiting to hear how the 3DS will fare in all these little details D:

[identity profile] tategamiwolf.livejournal.com 2010-12-29 08:05 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah, the DS has some great endurance. PSP not as much, though that may well be because mine's used and idk how the previous people(s) used it.

But yeah I do like that the PSP doesn't blink XD

ah, it'd be nice to hear more 3DS details, though I'll probably not be able to get one until the time they come out with 3DS lite or whatever :p *still has the ol' block ds*

[identity profile] splash.livejournal.com 2010-12-29 08:10 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah it must really depend on the battery and such... My PSP 1000's battery lasts for like... hours and hours and hours on end, but the 2000 I got as another hand-me-down lasts like half as long at the same settings/game activity ;; The 1000 I can set on hibernate for like a week and come back to it and it's still at 3 bars battery.
Any of my motivation to get 3DS revolves around the 4th Inazuma series so it's too early for me to say too xD; Ahaha

[identity profile] tategamiwolf.livejournal.com 2010-12-29 08:14 am (UTC)(link)
Ah, my PSP is a 1000 too. But I meant like, since it's used, it might've been used enough for the battery to not hold as much charge as it would if new.

lmao I... want the Tales of the Abyss port. XD even if I'm quite sure I'll be finished with the ps2 one by the time I can get a 3DS. Also Shin Megami Tensei Devil Survivor. Dunno if it's a port of the DS one(would be stupid) or a sequel, but I'm interested anyway lol

I'm sure Pokemon'll move to it, too, so...

[identity profile] splash.livejournal.com 2010-12-29 08:19 am (UTC)(link)
Toramaruuuuu
Oh yeah the Abyss port! XD; I'll probably wait a real long time on that one and hunt for sales (although waiting on sales for JP imports is ffft) since the PS3 Tales games are taking enough time as it is and they're so GOOD. The high def graphics are totally spoiling me XD; I beat the main story on Pokemon BW and got so utterly bored I wonder how I even got that far XD;

[identity profile] tategamiwolf.livejournal.com 2010-12-29 08:24 am (UTC)(link)
Yes, Toramaruuuu
the seiyuu pick for him randomly weirds me out ahaha
not used to that voice on a male. XD


Yeah, since I doubt I'll be getting a 3DS at launch, I probably will watch and wait for sales as far as Abyss is concerned.
I still don't have a PS3 so I just know Xbox360-Vesperia :(
Graces looks nice though. Waaaant...

I have yet to beat the E4 on BW ;; lazy about grinding.

AAAAAH THAT CHURCH IS SO CUTE. ;3;

SNOW IS LIKE THE MEGANE OF BUILDINGS. *7*
YES THAT MAKES SENSE SHUDDUP.

You're not dressed very warm to be laying in snow. I'd be fucking freezing, man. ;;

[identity profile] tategamiwolf.livejournal.com 2010-12-29 07:12 pm (UTC)(link)
The megane of buildings... lmfao so true.

It was cold but we went back in the house right after so it didn't matter too much... but then again the power was still out at the time, no heat D: i hid under covers and slept a long time lol

SNOW!

Man, the battery of my DS totally gave in recently and my DS is pretty new, about only one year old? Maybe it's because I use an R4, Idk, but now the battery lasts barely 2-3 hours, when until some time ago it lasted even 20 or so, I could go on a whole week...

Also BAWWW about Imagine ;_; gdi, Aeriagames!! /shakes fist

[identity profile] tategamiwolf.livejournal.com 2010-12-29 11:00 pm (UTC)(link)
SNOW!!

my flashcart's an acekard and... i don't think the ds battery runs out quicker. idk.

yes ;_; stupid aeriagames and cave. I CRY.

SNOW EVERYWHERE. That house is wow :O

[identity profile] tategamiwolf.livejournal.com 2010-12-30 03:45 am (UTC)(link)
There's lots of fancy houses in this town lol... but idk that one with the freakin' pillars and stuff just stands out.

but yes SNOW EVERYWHERE

though its not now. kinda... melted away. a lot.

So much snow - it makes me want to have some hot chocolate. *o*

And omg, is it the Sly collection?

[identity profile] tategamiwolf.livejournal.com 2010-12-30 03:43 am (UTC)(link)
Have some hot chocolateee!!

The Sly collection's for PS3 which I don't have ;; I'm just picking up the individual ps2 games.

[identity profile] esperity.livejournal.com 2010-12-30 04:18 am (UTC)(link)
Sadly, I don't have hot chocolate atm. Tea will have to do.

Ohhh I see, but still the individual ps2 games are classics. I heard that there were some camera issues or something on the new Sly collection's anyways. xD
