Concurrently upgrading and abusing my eyes
So it looks like I'm getting LASIK on Friday. We (that is mom and me) meant to just go in for checkup/testing appointments today and see how compatible my eyes were and how we felt about the whole thing, but Dr. Furlong's crew were so shiny and competent-seeming that we just couldn't resist. Or sommat. Come to think of it it is kind of freakishly abrupt ^^;; but then, mom did have the insurance money set aside and it'd go to waste if I didn't get this done.
On the other hand, we (that is brother and me) rented Paper Mario 2 and are having a blast. Even though we've played it nonstop for two days, we're not even halfway through. It's a big and plentiful game full of charming surprises, and so far it runs no risk of becoming too formulaic like the first game did. Love the battle dynamics too, especially how you have to pay attention in battle more than ever and how they came up with so many more creative ways to execute the Mario RPG fight system.
Need to setup my new laptop (for bringing to China) with all my (~50 gigs of) files and programs. Oy vey, moving's never easy.
I like the sound of the new LJ tags system (because goodness knows I'm all for self-plugging) but I don't want to switch to S2 and lose my custom comment links. And I think it looks uglier. Drat to that. ^^;
Edit: Brand new laptop that was out of my hands for about a week, ~50 pieces of spyware! Oh the woes of clueless parents+siblings. I don't want to leave my current darling Dell to their mercies, even if it might not be my main compy anymore =(

Re: Thumbs up!
Anime episodes, my good friend. Stuff I need to watch-then-delete but rarely ever get around to. Also, a bazillion MP3s of game soundtracks. ;P
It took a week to accumulate 50 pieces of spyware, not rid. Still tragic. Poor lappy.
Whew, my reply was almost as long as your post...
I think it was longer if you don't count the Edit ;)
Re: Thumbs up!
>< and DOH!
