Some Saturdays are like that
Sorry I wasn't in chat yesterday; I was in a pretty foul mood most of the evening and decided to just work on stuff instead.
...And judging from flist, I wasn't the only one. o_o Sheesh, is there something in the internet water?
Anyways, my Thanksgiving was quite fine! Dinner was good; the turkey was actually really good this year (apparently this was because it was a little undercooked, but usually it'd reeeeally dry) and I managed to survive any small politics discussions and photo-album-scouring. The day after, my grandma asked me (and mom) to come with her to this little sweets shop where she and her girlfriends get together and talk so that I could sketch them. That was...leeeeettle awkward especially passing around my sketchbook between sweet old ladies geez I'm glad that particular book didn't have anything "questionable" in there but the sweets shop was actually awesome since they had all this vintage candy and toys. Plus, really good hot chocolate, mmmm. Afterwards, I took grandma to go see 'Bolt' again with me, and she enjoyed it! I really need to go see it in 3D soon and see just how this 3D technology's working. Just not sure if it's worth the ticket price yet.
And yesterday was...ugh. I was supposed to go to the Getty Museum as part of one of my makeup classes. I thought we were supposed to be there at 1:00, so at around 10:45 I start writing down directions, figuring I have plenty of time.
Phone: RING RING
Me: Hello?
Teacher: Are you still coming to the museum? We were supposed to meet here at 10:00.
Me: .......8(
So I grab my stuff and rush out the door for the Getty. The only problem is, Google Maps is a FILTHY, FILTHY LIAR, and instead of leading me to the Getty, led me to a frecking dead end in the middle of RichPeoplesHousesOnAHillville. I called home for directions again, only to get another dead end. Finally I managed to go the long way around and get there again, only to discover there was no parking and I had to park some five miles away and take a shuttle. So what should have been about a 40-minute drive to the museum instead took something like two hours. I'll be sticking with Mapquest from now on, no thanks Google.
So that pissed me off most of the day. The museum itself was really nice, I need to go back sometime with someone and look more when I'm feeling less stressed. Confusing to get around, but the gardens are really pretty and the view is great especially on a non-smoggy day. I spent a bunch of time in the sections for illustrated manuscripts because for some reason they were a lot of fun to read about, and the exhibit of 19th century Southern California was great, too. I manged to get in a few sketches of ideas for my final project; better get started on that today.
Over the weekend I finally finished The World Ends With You! ...Which means I've now busted into the completionist mindset and I'm doing the Game+. 8D; I want all the secret reports, dangit! Especially since parts of the ending confused me. Except Joshua is still a prick.
I am now massively stuck on this part:
Game: To get secret report for this day, beat this particular boss on hard.
Me: No probalo. I've had it on hard all this time and managed to get through Shiki's week fine.
Me: *finds blue boss symbol*
Me: *puts on favorite pins and saves*
Me: *clicks boss symbol*
First thing out of boss's mouth: ZETTA SLOW!
Me: .......8(
SO UH. Does anyone know how the hell to beat Taboo!Sho on hard difficulty with Beat as your partner? DDD: I couldn't even get him halfway down out of the yellow in his HP. It even looked like some of my attacks were healing him, but I couldn't tell how. I'm level 84 or so, and my best pins that I usually use for bosses/hard battles are:
- Tigre Punks cure pin
- Dragon Couture tall flames
- J of the M uppercut
- J of the M sword slash
- Mus Rattus cherry bomb/fireballs
- Natural Puppy three-way bullets
ASSISTANCE IS APPRECIATED, PLEEEEEASE.
Kia, when is your flight back again? Depending on when it is, I may or may not be able to pick you up, or if I CAN do so, you might have to tag along to my school with me, and I dunno if you want that or not. XD;
Drawing: Need to do homeworks...
Writing: Cards.
