It's been a couple of eventful days. Mostly because it turns out I have an infection going on (and that explains all the random diseases) but I finally got the right meds, and I'm on my happy way to a full recovery, yay! Today is the first day in weeks nothing hurts, and my brain is in a happy cloud of endorphins. :D I had quite a lovely therapy session yesterday too, and my Star Trek Science Department bracelet arrived in the mail, so yay!

I'm currently slowly listening to Welcome to Night Vale. Slowly because I'm trying to make it last longer, since it's two episodes a month once I catch up. It's a bit hard to describe, but I'll give it a shot. It's a free podcast of a fictional community radio station from a city in the North American desert, that is filled with the paranormal. Think Twilight Zone, they have the Council's secret police, misterious glowing clouds, angels, floating cats in the bathroom, mysterious hooded figures, and yet everything is discussed as normal, day-to-day routine life. Here's a little trailer to give you an idea:

It's at the same time really funny and incredibly relaxing. There's also an adorable love story too, but I won't spoil it for you. It's also on iTunes, if that's more your thing. And it's completely free, which is awesome.

Oh, and I finally got a Dream Address on Animal Crossing New Leaf (7500-2378-4036) if you want to take a look. ^^

Just a little announcement, I finally installed Steam. Everyone was talking about it and I got curious, and now I get why it's so famous. I just bought Portal, Portal 2 and The Testament of Sherlock Holmes for €14. Yippie-kay-yay, motherfucker! I still have to learn how the community thing works, but if you want to friend me I'm nausicaa83 over there too.

This is going to be fun. *_____*

And since we're on the subject of videogames, and because I need friends on Animal Crossing New Leaf, here's my 3DS code: 3652-1773-6457. Drop me your code here in a comment so I can add you back. ^^

Big news, my aunt is coming to visit next wednesday!!! Yes!!! \o/ And I'll be in therapy when she arrives, that means I'll come back home and ring the doorbell and she'll open the door for me, the thought alone makes me so happy it's hard to put it in words. ♥

I've been playing Animal Crossing a lot. As it turns out, I have the sense of humour of a 8-year-old kid. During the second day the citizens of my town asked me, one after the other, for a new, personalized catchphrase. They are now going around spouting the following cool phrases:

"give me the booty"
"show me the booty"
"I want the booty"
"motherf*er"

I keep talking to them only to dissolve into giggles, every single time. :D This is the pool ladder all over again, I know.

After seeing so many enthusiastic players back on tumblr, and after reading many reviews about how relaxing Animal Crossing New Leaf is, I made up my mind and bought it. Not only it's really relaxing, but it's also VERY addictive. I don't even have a house yet, and I'm already selling fruit and seashells and buying furniture and talking to everyone and collecting bugs... so addictive.

While I was in the store I spotted an old friend of mine on the shelf, squeed out loud and bought that too.

The old friend is Myst, the very first videogame I ever played, back in 1995. It was my dad, my sister and me, with a couple of notepads, pens everywhere, and no guides whatsoever. I still remember when we got to our first ending (blue page), it was one of the most exciting memories of my childhood. :D

And now I can carry it with me everywhere I go! Dear old island of Myst, how have I missed you! \o/

I even called my town in Animal Crossing 'Myst'. I came this close to calling it 'my butt', like someone did on tumblr, and whose screencaps made me crack a rib from laughing, but then it was my very first game, so I thought I'd play it like a grown up. (Think about it though: "I'm so happy you decided to live in my butt! / There are many secret locations in my butt. / Many tourists love to spend their holidays in my butt. / All hail the new Mayor of my butt!")
