My glorious week-long break is now over. It was unnaturally long due to a blizzard at the beginning of last week. So I completely relished in doing nothing. I probably should have been writing my paper. Oh well.

I've managed to convince myself that I'll survive the next three weeks until term is over. My whiny side is still screaming, "BREAAAAAKE NOOOOOOOOW!" but I'll just have to ignore that.

I did a strange thing this year and went shopping on Thanksgiving weekend. Usually I avoid the mad rush like the plague but not this year. Not sure why, really. The majority of shopping is out of the way now. Yay.

Also in this flurry of shopping I purchased LoZ: Twilight Princess for GC (yes, I'm terribly old-school). I can't believe that it's almost been five years since that was released. It look me this long to get my hands on this game?! ...And I call myself a fan...pfft. Got myself through the Forest Temple. So far, so good. It's got all the elements of Windwaker but is so much darker. Awesome.

And I just want to say--it is a million times easier to aim and generally run around when you've got functioning joysticks. The PS2 that I'm borrowing has lazy joysticks so camera and character drift in one direction. Makes playing Dirge of Cerberus difficult.
