Thank you! And I agree with Kali, it's nice to hear that someone's enjoying life. I'm kinda stressed out right now, so I thought I'd drop by really quick. I'm currently trying to finish my paper...bah! I don't like papers. Anywho, have fun with the rest of your vacation, SC! And hey, I see that Machias stopped by. I'll have to read what she's posted a little later.

Stupid essay...

Hi all! I got to go home this weekend, so I haven't been online in a while

Anywho, yes, I highly recommend the Final Fantasy series, Tinselcat! If you love RPG's, then you'll definitely enjoy Final Fantasy.

Well I rented FF10 from Blockbuster, and I'm enjoying playing, but that sphere grid thing is annoying me!! What's that all about?!
Too many film clips, too... *hides*

**azure turtle** · 05-31-2002, 12:55 AM

Hmm...I heard that the new Sphere Grid system was kinda weird, but a lot of people said it gets easier once you learn how to use it. I can't say anything about it until I play it, though. That'll happen in about two weeks, I believe.

Loolaa · 05-31-2002, 01:05 AM

Well I can't fathom it yet. I need to re-rent it tonight anyway, so I'll have another go...

**azure turtle** · 05-31-2002, 01:09 AM

Heh heh...don't give up on it yet, Loolaa! I'm sure you'll get the hang of it. FF X just sounds like so much fun...

Loolaa · 05-31-2002, 03:09 AM

*whispers* I called in sick, just so I could play it.

For once I'm glad my boss isn't a turtle fan!

*Skeletoncrew* · 05-31-2002, 07:04 AM

*laughs at Loolaa*

Ahhh...I stumbled across an internet cafe near the hotel that charges 1 Maltese Lire for 75 minutes. I'd been paying 2 for 30 minutes at the hotel. :frown: Stupid supposedly 5 star hotel!!!

I'm free for the rest of the afternoon, so here I am on the 'net.

Its still siesta time so a lot of shops are closed. I'm hoping they'll be open by the time my time runs out...I desire more jewelry!!!

We visited the Church of the Knights of St John in Valletta today. I spent most of the time photographing the tombs in the floor...the marble slabs were just spectacularly decorated! I am in awe of the work that has been done in colored marble. I think when I get home I may put together a website for my fellow taphophiles.

My trip is nearly over now. We fly back to Rome tomorrow, and then to Chicago the next day. I'll be back in Portland the day after that. Bleh. I should be thoroughly messed up by then.

I haven't seen any TMNT stuff over here, though I have been watching for it. Oh well.

**HorseTechie** · 05-31-2002, 10:49 AM

Ish.. that's a rip. I've hung out at internet cafes (or what they call 'PC Bahng') in Seoul too, which was about 75 cents in US dollars for an hour.

But have a safe trip home and we'll hear from yah then!

Loolaa · 05-31-2002, 02:06 PM

Library's are free.... except you can't join a library on holiday...

Tinselcat · 05-31-2002, 03:33 PM

did someone say library?! *gets into librarian persona* hey! you! shaddap, this is a public library! and you there! you've been on the computer for long enough, young man! why doesn't anyone return the damn books on time?!?! (hee hee, i'm a librarian, i know the lingo.)

Loolaa · 05-31-2002, 03:37 PM

Is it a fun job? Do you get a say about the new books that come in?

**azure turtle** · 05-31-2002, 05:40 PM

*cowers in fear of Tinselcat*
Hey Loolaa, you must be a hardcore gamer to call in sick just to play FF 10!

Yay, SC will be returning home! Hope you had a wonderful time. We'll be here when you get back!

Loolaa · 06-01-2002, 01:54 AM

Well.. I dunno about hardcore gamer, but as it's rented I need to get the most out of it. Especially as the game is likely to be vast.
Besides.. it means I get 5 days off as we've got holidays monday and tuesday with the golden jubilee over here.
So it's my laziness ans greediness for more days off in a row

Ah, the queen comes in useful, sometimes.

**azure turtle** · 06-01-2002, 08:13 PM

LOL! Glad to hear you're enjoying yourself, Loolaa! I hope the game was worth it.

Loolaa · 06-02-2002, 06:16 AM

Definately!

There's some stuff that I'm no good at like the sphere levels, and the blitzball games (gah, I hate sport games!)
But I love the battles, and I'm getting used to the many many film clips. It's just like an interactive movie, isn't it? Tidus isn't doing too well either, I keep giving all the power to Lulu and... GAH! What am I doing?! Could this be any more OT????

...Sorry...

Tinselcat · 06-02-2002, 07:33 AM

well, i really like the job. i have the power! i have authori-tay! i don't have a say in the new books that come in, but i do get to unpack and see them first! it's fun to be surrounded by books all the time! booooks! *wanders off muttering to herself about literature*

Loolaa · 06-02-2002, 03:15 PM

Ah.. I'd love to be surrounded by books at work. Trust me to be the one surrounded by bodily substances instead of books.

**azure turtle** · 06-02-2002, 06:00 PM

Oy Loolaa, glad to hear you're enjoying the game. And don't worry about being OT. Since this is the General Discussion forum, any topic goes, so don't feel guilty

This thread was set up to house our random ramblings anyway.
*blinks*
Hey Tinselcat, where do you work at?

Peanut · 06-02-2002, 09:29 PM

I'm so far out of the loop now that I have no idea what's going on anymore. I feel so lost.

**azure turtle** · 06-02-2002, 10:20 PM

*pats Mike on the head*
Don't worry, dude. You'll get back into the swing of things.
