Productivity and Polls and Miracle Berries
Today has been an insanely productive day - probably more productive than most entire weeks! I just replaced our showerhead. It broke, and while I may like baths, they are not conducive to easy hair-washing. It was actually easier than I thought - the hardest part was scouring the house for an adjustable wrench. When I finally found it, it was still in the packaging - that tells you how often we need to use it. Feeling very proud of my DIY moment, but at the same time, despair that I must always learn how to do these things the hard way.
I also have come into possession of a miracle berry tree! 'Tree' is a bit generous, it's really just a tiny shrub at the moment, but I have plans for it. Ohhh, such plans. Miracle berries are an exotic fruit where if you eat one, for about half an hour afterwards anything sour you eat will taste sweet. This could be some kind of secret superpower in gross food eating competitions, and I intend to leverage it as such.
Isn't it cute? I'm going to move it to the bigger pot on the weekend, and love and nurture it to fruit-bearing age. I have named him 'Krishna'. :D Needs super-low pH soil though, between 4.5-5.8 I believe, so will have to get some aluminium sulfate to lower it or something. Ye gads, normally it's the opposite. At least I won't need to worry about fungi.
Also, Dissidia update! Finally cleared Inward Chaos. AND GUYS, THE LUNAR WHALE COURSE? So easy now. Welcome to the BLACKJACK course. Level 150 Zidane can go straight to hell as far as I'm concerned, and take Level 130 Chaos with him. I find it terribly unfair that Cloud's equipped with Fenrir and Omega summon and the full set of Adamant armour and still gets his ass kicked. I wouldn't even contemplate entering unless you have an ample supply of Phoenix Downs and Arcane Resins. Whyyyy must my completionist tendecies kick in over this? ;___;
As for fanfiction stuff, next chapter of The Fifth Act will be up tomorrow. Need a quick vote - Aeris, or Aerith? I'm not really bothered either way, but I've been using Aeris under the supposition that first-is-best and all that. Hey, this is an appropriate time for a poll!
