the dice were loaded from the start

Two things:

1. I had a blood test recently, and it turns out I'm really anaemic, which is fun! Though apparently my iron levels are better than they were a year ago, but not by much.

So I am sitting here munching pumpkin seeds, and hoping that helps a bit.

2. I beat FFXIII-2 earlier! I was literally at the end of the game anyway, so it wasn't that difficult. I was expecting the boss fights to be more difficult, but I'd been following my game guide, so was way more levelled than I might have been had I not been using it. Anyway, they were pretty much a breeze, except for the final final one, which has three bosses (you know, because one is not enough), and that took me two goes. But only because I wasn't really paying attention the first time (though that fight is really gimmicky).

( spoilers! )

Now to play Lightning Returns, I guess! (I think the mechanics of the game are going to drive me loopy, but I'm in it for the costumes, man).

Now if you'll excuse me, I am off to chew on Tony Stark.
