Comment "WORDS" to this entry and I will comment back with five words I associate with you. Then you post this in your journal elaborating.

Here's what padparadscha gave me

( Five Words... )

I got some writing done this week, but not much -- about 300 words on the Firefly story, which is shaping up to be The Women of Firefly Do Stuff*. What I need to do is edit, but I've been feeling blah.

* Okay, I think Inara isn't in it, but it's looking like this is going to be Zoe, River and Kaylee's adventure, post BDM.

Other than that, the diet maintains, though my attempts to exercise were thwarted by the fact that I can find every CD, DVD, Playstation and Game Cube disk that I own except for the Dance Dance Revolution one.

My internet connection is also flaky, in that I cannot stay logged into an Instant Messenger for more than five minutes.

I continue to play games, except my rate of progression has slowed to a crawl as it takes me five attempts to beat any given boss. Currently I'm in the Dwarf Kingdom in FFIV and trying to smack Golbez. Even though I know the moron will just run off instead of letting me dead, if I know anything about game bosses. I could switch back to Chrono Trigger and the pre-Lavos sidequests, I suppose.

I got The Legend of Zelda: The Phantom Hourglass for Christmas. Surprisingly, I do not suck as badly as I normally do at Zelda games (I love them, but boy do I stink at them.) I think it's because I can play this one with just the stylus, so I don't even have to flail about with buttons.

I have still fallen into lava, got burned in the fire temple and drowned a couple of times. (What the heck? Can't Link swim?)

Also have Chrono Trigger, but I'm taking a break, since Magus kicked my ass.

So, I played 4th edition for the first time last night.

( Which means you all want to here my thoughts on it. )

So I bought the sequal to Golden Sun when I was back in Nebraska -- I saw it used and couldn't resist. One of the features of the game is that you can import yoru guy from the first game, either by linking two Game Boy Advances together or by Password. The full password is 260 characters long to get complete data -- it''s only 61 for partial data.

I have tried at least four times to get this password in, and have yet to get one that's viable. I know enough about encryption to know that there's probably a failsafe against typos in there, but when I've checked and double checked the password and my entry of it, I'm this close to wondering if this is why the game was in the Used bin.

If anyone knows anything that would be helpful, pass it on.
