I left at 4:30 to meet Rishu at 5 at Touchstone, then went to the public market for some dinner while I was out anyway: Eggplant (ew), fried noodles, cauliflower, bamboo shoots, broccoli, carrots, and pork! Met up with Nick from Discord, which was fine - boy, is he open about some things, though! Talked about his being a Flames fan in Canucks territory, Michelle, narcissism, therapy, exes, drunk confessions, concerts, missing his best friend (but he's working), stepfamilies, frat bro people, welding, the Commercial / Broadway area, pizza, drinking a lot, smoking again, and more. I just wanted to get home reasonably quickly! After I got home at 6:35 on a 407, I took a shower.


C'Bo Flemister is a football player?!




Kyle Twomey is a baseball player?!

Today is National Smores Day! I went to London Drugs again at 12:50 on a 401 to get Activia raspberry yogurt, on-sale Old Dutch ketchup chips x2, a mailing box, NEW on-sale Dare birthday cake cookie chips, an on-sale 20-piece Cambridge cutlery set (Cambridge Remi Frost) and a large red metallic American Greetings gift bag for Christon and Alice's wedding on the 31st, and a book called 101 THINGS TO DO WITH BEER (YUM!) for Jeremy in October. Got home at 1:30 on a 407 when it had started raining, which is fine by me.


Activia yogurt: Raspberry!




Bags, wedding stuff, book stuff, and cutlery! )

Jack Daniels is from Chile?!

From Grammarly: How To Write Good, by Frank L. Visco!

Caveat emptor. Carpe diem. O si villi, si ergo, fortibus is in ero. Et tu, brute.

My several years in the word game have learnt me several rules:

1. Avoid alliteration. Always.
2. Prepositions are not words to end sentences with.
3. Avoid clichés like the plague. (They're old hat.)
4. Employ the vernacular.
5. Eschew ampersands & abbreviations, etc.
6. Parenthetical remarks (however relevant) are unnecessary.
7. It is wrong to ever split an infinitive.
8. Contractions aren't necessary.
9. Foreign words and phrases are not apropos.
10. One should never generalize.
11. Eliminate quotations. As Ralph Waldo Emerson once said: "I hate quotations. Tell me what you know."
12. Comparisons are as bad as clichés.
13. Don't be redundant; don't use more words than necessary; it's highly superfluous.
14. Profanity sucks.
15. Be more or less specific.
16. Understatement is always best.
17. Exaggeration is a billion times worse than understatement.
18. One-word sentences? Eliminate.
19. Analogies in writing are like feathers on a snake.
20. The passive voice is to be avoided.
21. Go around the barn at high noon to avoid colloquialisms.
22. Even if a mixed metaphor sings, it should be derailed.
23. Who needs rhetorical questions?

It's Talk Like A Pirate Day today! Eric Ho also replied to say he could make it to Felico's on Sunday - Gmail now suggests replies for me?!


Gmail's suggested replies...




From ONTD: Liam Payne of One Direction is going out with someone named CAIRO DWEK, and named his son BEAR?!

Today is National Smores Day! Fraser got his birthday card, and loved the PEPPA PIG stickers, so YAY!


From Julie: Ayla?! That just reminds me of Ayla in CHRONO TRIGGER... this not a human name!




From Wesley: A demon toilet paper holder for when it's time to release the demon inside!




Fraser and his digger truck birthday card!




Fraser and his SESAME STREET stickers!




Fraser and his PEPPA PIG stickers!




Fraser and some other colorful PJ MASKS stickers!

Sean Slaney from Ferris and Palmer found me on Facebook - probably from Lisa B. - and added me. We also briefly chatted on FB messenger, which is nice. No, I never went to Burnett for regular school, but probably for Chinese School 30 years ago! John Powell asked if I wanted to meet him and Eve after the game - I think I might be able to deal with snow showers, so I guess that would be fine! HOT CHOCOLATE AND COFFEE! Time to stash a scarf and mittens in my bag for the next four or five months!


The FINAL FANTASY VI: THE ETERNAL CRYSTALS party is in Kefka's Tower, where they have to split up to conquer the dungeon together. They need to step on the circled green button to open up the path for other people, as shown. Bonus: They get a Ribbon from that treasure chest!




Have faith in thyself, for thou art a badass motherfucker.

I sent Jon a Facebook message this morning after COFFEE TIME to wonder what time I should drop by tomorrow, and 2:45 sounds good to me!


Jimmy Hoffa's full name was James Riddle Hoffa?!




From Julie: King of Ink Land Body Art The Extreme Ink-Ite?!

glowing_dragon: (OMFG Yay!)
It was COFFEE TIME this morning at 8 AM since I had maybe six hours of sleep!


In MOTHER 2 DELUXE, Jeff Andonuts makes it to Dr. Andonuts' Lab south of Stonehenge. Look at this glitchy Sky Walker! You should see it when it's flying to the town of Threek... thank goodness it worked to fly in when I exited the lab and entered again for a better version of the machine! I see a bit of an Instant Revitalizing Device!




Glitches galore! )


From Reddit: Hello, darkness, my old friend. BLACK COFFEE (OR TEA) RULES!




In MOTHER 2 DELUXE, Ness / Paula / Jeff finally make it to Fourside. They meet this garden-variety mole, who tells them that even PPK Spirit can be dodged if the target has enough Speed. Luck and Speed are much more important stats in this game than the original, that's definitely for sure!




Here are Ness, Jeff, and the Teddy Bear in Fourside's Department Store!

These are all the enemies I could find in FINAL FANTASY VI: THE ETERNAL CRYSTALS!

I know that this bestiary GameFAQs document helped me a lot; thank you! Also, this walkthrough by Djibriel helped a lot when I was stuck in the game. Here's an amazing codes document. This is an enemy formation document / walkthrough. Here's a game script! Found a good Dragon's Den walkthrough which didn't have atrocious English!

This is a good code document. YAY FOR MAGICITE!

F124-EDD8 gives you 99 of every item.

I used this Youtube playlist by LowBiasGaming as a walkthrough.
