The Korean won keeps getting weaker, so my Korean bank account keeps getting bigger and my bank account at home doesn't change. Bah. Right now it's only worth eighty six cents, and last week it was eighty nine. I guess I should have transferred some money back then.
Why is the American dollar so strong right now anyway? What's going on, Korean economy? ;-;
So lately I've had this urge to buy Tales of Symphonia for the PS2, despite the fact that it has frame rate issues and overly visible polygons. I guess I just want something familiar, and I really do like the Japanese voice cast; Colette and Lloyd in particular. Their voices are just awesome. But the fact that I have it in English makes me think I should find a different way to waste my money. Not only that, but it would mean I would have to take another long trip out to Yongsan, just to buy one videogame. Then again, I DO want to see if they've got Graces. But I don't really want to go to Yongsan by myself, anyway.... Someone, please talk me out of getting Tales of Symphonia PS2. Please.
My sore throat has developed into an all out cold. My voice, which was originally hoarse, is now cold-filled. It makes me wonder if it's harder for my kids to understand me now... My nose keeps dripping, like a leaky faucet. I wish someone would turn it on full blast so I could clear my sinuses and breath freely again. XD I hate, hate, hate being sick. I'd rather have a fever that goes away in a few days than a cold that leaves you capable of moving around, but susceptible to coughing up flem and having to blow your nose every five minutes. But it could be worse, I suppose. At least my sore throat is pretty much gone, and I haven't really had to take a sick day. I felt awful after work Wednesday and Thursday, but today I felt okay. Granted, the last class on Friday is a lot more relaxed since there are only two students and they are both pretty good students. The boy isn't happy about being there, but I joke with him and talk about video games. And the girl? Well, I'm not really sure. She does everything I tell her and is respectful, but I don't get much emotional feedback from her. I feel like she must have really oppressive parents to be THAT submissive, or else she's just naturally shy or feels inferior due to her lack of English skills. I don't know, but it kinda makes me feel bad for her. I wish she'd grow a spine more and state her own feelings, though it might make teaching her a little more difficult. XD
This weekend I will watch Avatar. I promise. I keep saying I will, but never get around to it. But I have to watch it before Charles drags me off to the theater to pay ten dollars to see it. Maybe I'll even write a post on it when I'm finished. But like usual, I already have a pessimistic view towards it. How horrible of me, judging the poor movie before I've even seen it. A lot of people at my work like it, and the majority of my students like it too, so it can't be all that bad. Even if it's about a subject I don't particularly like (MMOs. They're boring) and the blue avatar things are weird looking. I should still give the thing a shot, right? Right?
Nintendo Power lets the cat out of the bag as far as Graces' release date goes?
http://i511.photobucket.com/albums/s354/Tylerx27/ToG.jpg Buuuut this is for Europe...so we shall see. Still, it's strange they would announce a release date in Europe before the US....But if they're releasing it for EU, then they're probably releasing it for the US as well. Right? RIGHT!?
And GIOTTO might be playable in Star Ocean 4 International Version. FREAKING GIOTTO. You have no idea how epic that is. *adds SO4 to the list of games for her imaginary PS3*. I will probably get a PS3....someday, and when I do, Giotto will be mine.
