When I Come Home Cold and Tired....
Nov. 25th, 2008 09:06 amHoly crap, still cold! So cold that the porch heater was turned on this morning. And despite the weather on my desktop assuring me that rain was not coming, as I was taking out trash, I was rained upon.
Everything's gray and dreary and miserable out. On the one hand, my body is not happy. On the other...it's beautifully gray and dreary out. It's a perfect Silent Hill day. It makes me want to bake. Hopefully tomorrow will be the same way, as I'm going to be spending the day making pies.
I am feeling better than last night, at least. I headed to bed early and slept through most of the night. I was awakened by the Naked Neighbors' Band at around 5:30 AM by...you guessed it. The engine. If I had been more coherent and my legs were working at that point, I would have gone out and yelled at them. As it was, I managed to get to the bathroom and drink some Gatorade before falling back into bed and dozing for an hour or so until I got up for the day.
I can't believe Thanksgiving is day after tomorrow. Where the hell did the month go?
Now that I've abandoned NaNo, I've gone back to Twilight Princess. And writing actual fic. But most importantly, Twilight Princess. ;) I'm almost done with the Lake Temple. There's only one small problem. The boss battle? Is underwater.
I have a problem with underwater parts of games. This has been a problem ever since Tomb Raider. I'm terrified of being enclosed under water. Especially under deep water. Like Twenty One, I can't even swim Lara through a tunnel without freaking out. So when Link started diving deeper and deeper into black, impenetrable water....
Yeah, I freaked out. I freaked out badly. I had to turn off the game and step outside to calm down. And then I made some Miis. I made me, Hughes, and some of the Host Club. I should finish my Host Club Miis, but I started getting a headache and then everything went down hill from there.
I am enjoying the game, though. It's a Zelda game, there are very few I don't enjoy. I didn't like Wind Waker, but I blame that on the cutesy style and endless amounts of time spent on the ocean. There is a beautiful predictability to the Zelda games that I appreciate. Like the order of things. It's always the same: forest temple, mountain temple, water temple. Next I will bet money that we get the Master Sword. Then all hell's going to break loose.
I'm thinking of maybe giving Resident Evil 4 another shot, though. Or finishing up SH3 today - it's one of those days. But first I need to finish cleaning and getting recipes copied over!
And finish my delicious peppermint mocha.
