Akenai yoru wo kazoe nagara

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 :|
( so i'm gonna just post img tags properly behind here )

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~
( cut for a few more pics )


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
