bayonetta kept me up. shes kinda fun, but the game is damn hard for me... i feel like theres a lot of possibility in the system, but the game doesnt really teach you how to unlock it - it just lets you fumble around with it until you figure it out.... and youre supposed to just "get it" after some playing around.
for example: there are some crazy bonus rooms in the game where you have an objective like "use only 10 punches and 7 kicks to defeat 2 enemies that usually take you 20 punches and 15 kicks to defeat...each".... and GO!. i could have spent all day just playing that one bonus room and failing miserably, because the game doesnt tell me what might work better, it just expects me to fumble onto it and become an expert.
all that said, the game is really fun and the story is ridiculous and amusing, even though they for some reason do full animation for 1/3 and 3d in-engine stills for the rest. seems like they were just pushed for time or something... :(
this game really makes me feel my shortcomings as a fighting/chaining/queueing gamer. .. i am wondering if the game changes on another playthrough after unlocking all of the techniques she can do and being able to buy some extra weapons/items.
bayonetta: recommended play.

aside from that, ran a 7 min mile today. my lungs were going to burst at the end, but my legs could have done better... how the heck do i get around that? i guess being more efficient..... will have to work on it... 9 min miles seem to be my "tired" miles now... but i still hate running so im not going to find out unless i end up running multiple miles for tkd training again.... urg. i hope i didnt jinx it.
friend asked me what i was up to and i thought to myself, im up to ... well, just getting by... improving, getting rid of my student debt and trying to enjoy life as much as i can. my tkd master said 'well, if you cant get the older (married >< ) girls and you dont like the girls your age too much, try the younger ones'. i told him 'good idea, im actually seeing how that goes *right now*'. hes a fun guy. he sails a lot and hes super helpful with my technique and god knows i need a lot of help with that... this whole control of body thing takes years to get down and i only started about 2-3 years ago getting a handle on how to do it. the guys whove been doing this stuff for 10-20 years just have it all down.. and somehow have been doing other martial arts and working out regularly forever too... i feel like im so far behind when im among the really good guys (and girls), but its still fun when theyre helpful about it. i can only hope im as helpful to all the noobs, because i want them to enjoy training as much as i do.

21st birthday party in 2 days. need to get the birthday girl something nice... something to start the night.... sometimes i wonder if there is a point where i can be too comfortable with someone.... it reminds me of having a sister... which is odd because ive never really had a sister... more like a female brother. maybe... or just a cousin... cause shes so not close to me in any way and i have a feeling we are too different to be. shes a lot like my dad and im a lot like my mom and i dont get along with my dad too much, but my mom is pretty awesome.
ok, time to sleep. up too late, as usual, and back to work in the morning. kisses.
lol.......
