Holy shit, The Vampire Diaries. For once I was right. It's the first time I anticipated them, and figured out a plot point (the fourth coffin, woot!), I'm feeling so proud of myself. This show keeps getting better, and now we have new awesome characters, and I want to hug Elena so much. All the feelings, guys.

I just bought Final Fantasy XIII-2, and I'm 40 minutes in it, and so far I love it. Noel is adorable, Serah isn't useless at all, the Moogle is cute but never annoying, and I'm actually understanding what's going on. :D Off to Pulse, then!

EDIT: And this is the best comment to this VD episode EVER. I was browsing a forum, and somebody linked it as a review and I laughed for ten minutes straight. XD

My Shame soundtrack arrived today! It's one for me and one for Tati, but I couldn't resist and took a picture of both, so you can see my new hair colour too. The fuchsia stripes have been a success so far, I got lots of compliments. I can be so vain sometimes. :D



Today was the warmest day of the new year so far. I saw boys in the street stripped down to their shirts, and even if I have a feeling teenagers don't feel the cold like I do, it was still as warm as the first day of spring. Sakura loves it, so even if it is weird, I get an hyper cuddly cat two months in advance this year, that's good. Tiring, but good. :D

Yesterday I played a bit of Final Fantasy Dissidia 12 after months, because I want to get back in a Final Fantasy mood: in two weeks I'll have Final Fantasy XIII-2, and I want to be ready. This one has time travel in it, it's going to be amazing! *_______*

As I mentioned earlier, my aunt had a minor surgery the day before yesterday. She had a wisdom tooth, still in its gum, that had to be pull out. So she needed a surgeon. We were lucky because the guy was really, really good, she didn't feel a thing and it was over in less than ten minutes. Problem is, her cheek now is all swollen, she has to take antibiotics, and she has to stay at home from work until saturday. Since she's the most energetic person I know, she's not taking it well. We almost had a fight yesterday because she just wouldn't sit down and rest a while and let me help her with the chores.

Besides that, everything here is going great. I went shopping with my cousin, I'm halfway through Jonathan Strange & Mr Norrel, and I finished the first two chapters in Dissidia Duodecim. I'm crazy in love with Vaan in this one. And when Kefka called him "another prebuscent pretty boy" I had to pause the game because I was laughing so hard I was about to fall from the couch. :D

I also visited a hunting and fishing shop with my uncle and my younger cousin, and I felt like the most ignorant person alive. I was in a room full of things, and I had no idea what they were. Then suddenly a door started slamming. It went on for a while, and I asked my cousin why nobody was going to check it, and he said "it's not a door, someone's shooting downstairs, they're testing a rifle before they buy it". This, right here, was the expression on my face -> O______O

So, nothing else worth mentioning, I'm eating a lot, sleeping a lot, getting lots of hugs and kisses from my aunt, so in a word I'm really, really happy. ^^

Jubilations, I just finished the Shade Impulse on Dissidia Final Fantasy! I defeated Chaos, Cloud is at level 100, and now I'm happily farming for items. I still have four storylines left, then I can try my hand with Gabranth's story. *____*

Real life news, we had a storm a couple of days ago, and the unbearable hot and humid weather is gone. We finally have normal summer weather, hot with a wonderful breeze in the morning. At last! Plus, my new drum set is perfect, and yesterday I had lots of fun playing with my friends up until midnight. They released This is War by 30 Seconds To Mars for Rock Band, and even if it's really hard, we had so much fun playing it. Gotta work on the intro though. :D

And now, off to lunch!

At long last, we have some new scans from Final Fantasy Versus XIII:



It's been so long I had kinda forgotten what Noctis looks like. I'm so looking forward to this game, I loved FFXIII an awful lot, and I'm pretty sure this game will be even better! Speaking of which they're releasing the first FFXIII Piano Collections cd next month, but I'll try and get it from a non-japanese site, to avoid paying an additional 30€ because of stupid italian laws.



Since we're on topic, I'm also halfway through Dante's Inferno. Next boss: Dante's sweet daddy. It's actually getting interesting, and I have to admit I'm curious about what kind of crossroads deal Beatrice made to get her into this mess. Or she probably thought Dante was going even crazier than before and she dumped him for Lucifer. Smart girl.

I'm feeling better. Yesterday I went to the gym, and I noticed that these nine months paid their due, and I feel a lot stronger. Next monday is the last lesson before the holidays, and I'm worried I will go back to lazy sofa land before September. I'd better ask our teacher for some exercises to do by myself during the summer.

Final Fantasy XIII update! My characters are now at the top in all their roles, so I don't need to level up anymore. Now I'm farming for items, so that I can face the last opponent, Vercingetorix. I only have him left, and that big turtle, the Longui. Go me! \o/

And I know I have a few books waiting on my to-read list, but I couldn't help it and yesterday I started re-reading the House of Night novels. Couldn't help it!

What else? The sun is finally back, so in the afternoon we'll go out for a stroll and some icecream, at last.

Final Fantasy XIII update: I just finished the Titan's Trials, I'm levelling up the secondary crystals for my characters (I got all of them on level 5 on the main ones), and we just started the game all over again with Tati yesterday. The second time it's a lot easier to understand what's happening, and we kept squeeing everytime a character would say something foreshadowing some events in the future. I love this game!
