a very merry unbirthday to you

So it is my birthday today. I am happy, and full of Hong Kong style sweet and sour pork (I love our local Chinese. However, I did not love the walk to and from it since it's icy and I am a wuss).

I have had minimal presents (a pair of scarab earrings from mum, and money from my bro and not sister in law), but I don't care. I couldn't think of anything, so it's my own fault (well, I said FFXIII-2, but I am NOT prepared to outlay £37 on a game (or for anyone else to do likewise). And I consistently wobble about the other Xbox games I want, so...yeah). Goddamnit, I couldn't even think of a book I wanted. I fail.

ANYWAY. I spent the day finishing off my replay of FFXIII. I aimed to get to at least The Fifth Ark. As it stands, I am still on the Palamecia (I could've got there if I'd literally spent all day on the Xbox, but I can't do that. I also would've got there if I hadn't spent some time running around in circles grinding for CP. I'm still not fond of grinding, but I'm having a fucking BALL at the moment. I don't know what I'm doing differently this time, but it feels so much easier (possibly because I'm loading CP in the character's "preferred" jobs first this time?)

I suppose I could play my ass off tonight, but that's not going to be conducive to me getting up at a reasonable time tomorrow morning, is it now?)

I said I'd sorted pics for a spam, so here they are. From a folder wittily entitled "Grand Spam Auto" (because I am clever. And witty, you see).

( screens from various games (FFs of various types; Mass Effect; DDS), a cat, some DVDs, and completely random stuffs )

And we're done. For now.
