November Reality

It's nice that Halloween came and all but that means that November is here. I hear Hell whispering in my ear again...

My laptop is out of commission. More precisely, either the power cord (which is most likely the problem) or the power plug has broked. The power cord is dead. I was able to cheat it for a few days by angling the cord a certain way so the inner metal touched and charged. Now it refuses it completely. Seems like eventual power cord deaths are a common occurrence. A whole new, official cord will cost a leg but a new laptop will cost me a few legs so I am relieved, though still not happy that the new cord will cost quite a bit.

So this finally came in the mail the other day:

This wasn't exactly what I was expecting but apparently my actual loot package got lost(?) or they just never sent it so this was my replacement. I was supposed to get the whole Tokunaga plushie set plus the Tales Vol.2 CD but instead came a [useless] L-size WHITE t-shirt, ONE Tokunaga plushie with its head severed and the Vol.3 CD instead. I thought Vol.3 was the one that was hard to get a hold of? I'm still waiting on that bonus for the Tales of Vesperia CE, which is supposedly the Vol.2 CD. I should go and bother them some more for it.

November means there's really only one month and a few weeks left of the semester (shock). The coming weeks will be brutal... which reminds me, registration was yesterday.

Parents also came back from their crazy cruise of crazy (Turkey, Israel, Ephesus, Greece) today. The past two weeks were pretty nice and peaceful ('sides all the school crap).

I swear I had more to say but now I can't remember.
