We had zero trick-or-treaters on Halloween, which was fine by me because I was in a stinking mood anyway, and I forgot to get any treats. I was actually going to bake biscuits like I did last year, but I somehow didn't manage that. Maybe it was last year's biscuits put them off? *shrugs* (I thought they were OK, but maybe the kids felt short-changed, I dunno). Anyway, ultimately I'm not bothered because it comes and goes like this anyway, and they didn't deserve the wrath of my bad mood.

This year is the first that I don't feel like I want to do NaNo! Usually I do, but I have no ideas. This year, I have an idea, but I don't want to do it. I would have done the Abominations story, had I still been working on that but man, that shit is so depressing (it really doesn't end well), and I'm not having a brilliant year, so really I don't want to touch it right now. That's why I put it to one side, for some later date.
(My current idea is something I want to flesh out for an eventual webcomic, but working on it is like pulling teeth. I suppose because, unlike the abomination story, I don't really have a solid idea of where it's going or even what the point is. It'll come to me, eventually).

At the moment, I am playing FFX because I wanted to play something I was familiar with, and also Auron. (I also wanted to hook the PS2 up to the living room TV because of having borrowed Breath of Fire from Sam, and also Waffles is currently playing Okami, and I love that game like cake).
I loaded up the game where I'm placing everyone on different paths around the sphere grid, and it's been so long that I have totally forgotten where I was supposed to be going (it's been FIVE YEARS since I beat X. So it's a few years at least since this as my old lj tells me four years ago I was doing the Yuna Solo run which I still haven't finished, and I started this one afterwards).
What I am doing so far is: swapping Yuna and Tidus, swapping Lulu and Wakka (Wakka is hideously terrible black mage, so I've heard, so this may make me lol a lot), putting Auron on Tidus' path (for speed reasons), and god knows what I'm doing with Kimahri. I put him on Rikku's path, but I just realised I always do that in normal gameplay. I should put Rikku on Auron's path for the hell of it, I think (and also a fair swap?? I might move Auron to her section of the grid once I get a friend sphere anyway because that will give him more speed).
While looking for gumpf about what the hell to do vis a vis switching paths (I couldn't find the exact thing within two pages of google, so I made my own mind up), I saw someone said they picked out which characters they'd use for a playthrough of X, and stick to those three all the way through. Which. I can't do that. I do it with XII because I don't like two of the characters, but I suddenly realised I like everyone in X (well, OK, I am mostly lukewarm about Tidus, but I don't actively dislike him the way I do Vaan, for example). So I just swap everyone in and out like you're supposed to (I love that mechanic to pieces).
(Now listening an Undub of FFX and omg Japanese voice cues (aka not surprised that Auron sounds like that). Also not keen on Wakka's original voice but eh. I'm used to his American one, I suppose...?)
