Final Fantasy IX
August 24th, 2004
Ok...lame is the word. I am so lame. There is no logical (and financial) reason for me to want to get FFIX....and yet I bid for a copy on eBay. :o The funny thing is that I seem to be going backwards through the series, hehe....the first Final Fantasy games I played were FFX and FFX-2. Now I'm attempting to get IX...it currently costs too much for me to get into XI, which is an online multiplayer game that is still mega-expensive in certain areas. So yes...I declare myself officially obsessed.
Anybody seen today's Woot? It's pretty cool...but not as cool as yesterday's Woot which was a wireless optical mouse and keyboard combo for around $20. It sold out before noon! But oh my lord, people....THIS is what I utmost desire. The Alienware MJ-12m mobile workstation in Cyborg Green! Yes yes yes!
Although before I even attempt to buy one of those heavenly machines I need money....and then some sound advice on techie-buying from my fellow geek friends....this could take a while. *Sigh*... :worried: oh well...one can dream, yes?
Is anyone around here into Anime? I've been slowly building my repetoire of Anime films and games over the past year or so. Emphasising the word slowly.
I just finished Volume 1 of Lain, which is ok. I am more partial to the works of Hayao Miyazaki....which include movies of breathtaking art and beautiful storylines such as Kiki's Delivery Service, Castle in the Sky, Spiritied Away, Princess Mononoke and My Neighbor Totoro. It is incredible, I tell you....and yes, again, like with Final Fantasy games....I am completely obsessed.
And proud of it! There is just something about the graceful scenes, places full of color and characters with great courage and personality that sets Miyazaki's work (and Anime itself, at least for me) apart from other media productions...if that makes any sense.
Ok, I've talked myself into watching one...have a great Tuesday!

Hey there! It’s so sad, I never got into Final Fantasy, a lot of my friends did. I used to be into anime a long time ago, really long. Though I still watch Lain, and Kiki’s Delivery Service (that movie rocked), I didn’t fancy Princess Mononoke much though. Heh, TOTORO! I still can watch that a lot. It’s so cute, I want a totoro so bad, or at least a plushie. Final Fantasy has some pretty awesome characters though xD
Anime! Yes! I can help you with that. If you like Miyazaki, there are a few animes that you may like. They’re sweet and cute and sometimes very funny: Ah! My Goddess, Earth Defense Force Mao-Chan, Slayers, Tenchi Muyo, and Escaflowne.
There’s also The Cat Returns; but you can only get it as an import at the moment. The Cat Returns was produced by Miyazaki. http://www.nausicaa.net/miyazaki/neko/

I wish I could afford one someday!! :weep::weep:
