The Perils of a Starving Literary Mind

An actual text conversation between me and my beloved roommate on the way home from school today:

Me: *whacks you around with a huge smelly tuna*
Her: *whacks back with suuushiii roll*
Me: I counter your flimsy sushi roll with sushi knives! And counter with a deadly tube of wasabi!
Her: Ack! Vile slicer of sushi! You've undone me! I come back at thee with frozen meat and carrots!
Me: NOOOO! Vile blasphemer of untainted food products!! I hurl cans of processed SPiced hAM!!
Her: The villainy of SPAM! I counter the with KETCHUP! AHahAHAhahAHA!
Me: AAaiiiyeeeEEEEE!! Red... Red everywhere! Processed tomato! I present thee with unadulterated MUSTARD! In the dining room! With the candlestick!
Her: NOOOOOO!!! The disparity of mundane condiments and formal dinners! Take this, you cur - RED HOTODOGS! In SPAGHETTI! With ITALIAN MEATBALLS! And MARSHMALLOWS! HOhohOHOHOHo!
Me: Hated Philippinized spaghetti! Fear the power of authentic chinese rice porridge! AWAY! CONGEE!!
Her: Gah! Goopy rice abound!!! Taste the sweetened wrath of GINATAAN with SAGO and PALITAW!
Me: Argh! Foul sweetness! Take the spiced revenge of ADOBO with CHICKEN LIVER and GIZZARD!!
Her: NYUUUU!!! Chicken and garlicky innards! Hate at the fiend, full-blooded DINUGUAN! With PUTO! PUTOOO!!!
Me: Aha! It backfires! Your puto sucked up your bloody fiendishness! Now is my chance! Fresh SIOMAI! With TUYOMANCI and CHILI OIL
Her: Hah! Thy dimsum slips on its own condiments! Go forth, BLUEBERRY PANCAKE! With ACHARA!
Me: It fails from your own misspellings! Now for the REAL thing! Atsara! ATTAAACK with your LIEMPO
Her: Uncooked meat! That cannot be! Sally forth, MEAT TENDERIZERS AND SPICE!
Me: My meat be cooked! Attack my grillers! And BARBECUE STICKS!
Her: Drown the cursed meat! Go, my ONIONS and MARINADE!
Me: I shield with bowls and cutting boards! ATTACK my KILLER TOMATOES!
Her: Tomatoes? I mock thy pulpy projectiles! Forward, JUICERS!

Unfortunately, at this point, I already arrived home. XP So I didn't get the rest of it anymore.

What happened this week for me? Nothing much. Really. I restarted Legend of Legaia and Final Fantasy 7 on my beloved Playstation Emulator:

Final Fantasy 7
There's this really funny part, where the Turks take Aeris, while everyone's talking, you can actually make Cloud run around. It amuses me so much. Especially when Cloud suddenly stops to yell something about taking Aeris back. Then after that you can make him run around aimlessly again.

Legend of Legaia
I realize this really still is one of my favorite games of all time. I haven't found a game in which I love the battle system more.

Aside from that, it's interesting how the story flow goes. The reasons you had for leaving your home were very menial, first to find your pair's Mom, later to find your partymate's parents, to go after your other partymate's best friend, and they only add later on that you might as well rid the world of the Mist. And you can go back to your hometown any time you want. There's also no evil overlord, in the strictest sense.

gaming, insanity
