Last night I beat Final Fantasy VII, and it was only the second time I've played the game all the way through. Honestly, rather than feeling nostalgic or overly drawn to the story I'm simply relieved to be done. I clocked over 100 hours this time so I could max out all the characters and beat the weapons. By the end I think it's safe to say that ( Read more... )

After having assumed many different scenarios to be the truth, a decision has finally been made on my lateral move. At first my plan was to stay with the cafe and run it for a while longer, now that we're a Seattle's Best. Next, I thought I was going to move over to the inventory department and be the inventory supervisor. For a while that was ( Read more... )

After a long hiatus, my fiancee and I have started downloading music again. For some reason, my first instinct was to download John Secada songs. It fits with me...he sings a lot of ballads, and good ones at that! For some reason listening to him is sending me on a trip down memory lane, and this time further back than I usually go. You see, ( Read more... )

Ah, once again I'm passed up for an upper management position. It's understandable...after all, I've still only been with Borders for 2 years. To put it into perspective, if Borders was going to hire a manager from outside the company it would be someone with several years of management experience and a college degree. So, the fact that my boss ( Read more... )

So I started playing Final Fantasy VII again yesterday, and it just dawned on me that exactly six years ago is when I made that fateful decision to use my birthday money and buy a playstation. The first game I played on that wonderful new aquisition was, of course, Final Fantasy VII. So here I am, on my six year anniversary of Final Fantasy VII ( ( Read more... )

What does it take to be really, truly happy?

Want to know what I think? I think nobody really is. People always want something more, no matter what kind of satisfaction they're hiding behind. The good news? Being happy isn't what we're here for.

Well, silver season is definitely over. Went fishing today, and after an hour and a half without so much as a bite I had to call it quits. My hands were too numb to reel, so even if I did catch something, I'd likely have lost it. So I guess it's trout season now ( Read more... )

Well, despite having nothing to say I feel a pressing need to update. It has, after all, been quite some time! I've decided that my completed sci fi novel is going to be my "magnum opus" of sorts, and I'm going to gradually edit it for the years to come. Re-editing it is such a huge task that it's undoubtedly going to take forever, so if I don't ( Read more... )

I have really big news!

I am engaged!

This is sort of a "killing time" entry. Right now, I'm waiting for my girlfriend at her place of employment. I guess Thursdays are their busiest days, and right now she's working some mad overtime chopping vegetables while I veg (hah!) at her desk. Here's hoping that something comes to mind for me to say ( Read more... )
