Just a Few Thoughts.

I have been having a hell of a time writing lately. Maybe I'm too distracted but I'm fed up with the way my words come out on paper. Buuuu.....

I'm 3 hours into TODr and I played a little FFVIa as well. This is my first time playing FFVI in Japanese and at this point I haven't noticed any major differences from the U.S version besides the Tina/Terra, Mash/Sabin thing. I can't see any reason why they changed Tina's name to Terra, and I also have to wonder why they changed Mash's name to Sabin. Considering how his name writes out in katakana, why not call him Matthew?

The music suffers from the port but the gameplay isn't broken a'la FFIV, where the random enemies kick your ass but the bosses are simple. Locke sucks. I don't think it's because of the port.

Two in One Day?

Check out the beautiful scarf Kristen made for me out of DK weight Koigu Kersti Merino Crepe! Here it is, modeled by our Caltoy stuffed turtle, Turtle:

She used an arches-and-columns pattern. It took her eight months to finish the scarf and I feel incredibly lucky to own it. One of these days I'm going to make her something this pretty but she's better at lace-knitting than I am. ^_^;
