I like how they included playable games like Animal Crossing did. Just hope that means we won't lose them when the portable version comes out. My HP should be filled up, since I've been getting free inn stays at my house all day, but I need to get my Cleanliness stat up before I go to the Chapel. Hopefully there'll be someone there to take care of my Cold, Nausea, and Strange Lump On Leg status effects that resting never takes care of.

My biggest gripe with the game so far is the relationship mechanic. It expects me to type in every response with no multiple choices and no indication of the impact it will have. That's just lazy design.

Also, do I ever get any permanent party members? I've had a few temporary ones, but they never follow me when I go somewhere else. And I've never even gotten to use them in any battles. Lame.

Japan's a lot looser with copyright laws than America, from what I hear. The clocks should be covered under parody, but Dali's estate doesn't want them to be, so NOA is probably going to have to pay royalties or go to court and prove they're right (maybe they can hire John Kirby again). That's if they think Earthbound is worth the trouble.

I dreamed that I was semi-watching, semi-participating in some kind of Simpsons episode. (though it was really only a Simpsons episode because my mind said so) Someone dragged a police car by the side mirror into the appliance section of a department store, demanding that it be fixed since it was on the last day of its warranty. The security guard in charge said he should have come in yesterday, and his only hope was if he needed some small part that he could look for on the open market. The kid dragging the car threw a cup of water at the guard's poorly hidden camcorder and ran off down the aisles, at which point I became him. I stopped in one aisle, unable to tell which side the guard was coming at me from. Finally he showed up, and I ran the other way, toward some tall cylinders of laundry detergent. When I squirted them, they shot out in ribbons of liquid that hung in the air for a while. The kid (who suddenly wasn't me) told the guard that all these liquids were legal to ingest, so he wouldn't get in trouble for killing the guard with them. I pointed out, floating away disembodiedly until I occupied a position similar to the one I was actually sleeping in, that while that may be true, it is illegal in most places to force someone to ingest something against their will. Mary-Kate and Ashley then showed up, asking if it was illegal to squirt either whipped cream or shaving cream onto people. They then did so to me briefly, with the same ribboning-then-falling effect the detergent had had, and walked away, one telling the other that shaving cream would be messier. Then they got covered in frosting and went to my house, where the dog tried to lick some of the frosting off. But this wasn't my dog, even though it had the same name, instead it was a much shorter one with longer hair. Apparently we were trying to retcon this dog's existence, because at this time we still should have had the old dog. Later, I noticed that the dog was different again, this time some sort of cross between a rottweiler and a weiner dog who had to be pulled away from other dogs by its neck. My mom then explained that we were test-driving several dogs in sequence to replace our old dog. I said I liked the last one better, and she told me about one they'd had earlier which was really bad, mainly because he cheated on his wife by holding a toy ark in a bathtub. I saw the discovery of this play out as though it was a recreation by some photographer who got it to work by filling the periodicals section in my college library with water and tying the animals down under the water until she needed the shot of them escaping. At this point, the dog in question was a cat.

Also, it should be pointed out that despite any implications of my description, the parts with Mary-Kate and Ashley were not at all sexual.

From what I remember, several songs incorporate pieces of copyrighted songs, like the hippie battle theme, and Salvador Dali's estate sues anyone who uses the droopy watches from the droopy watch picture, so the Dali's Clock enemy is problematic.

It annoys me a bit when someone refers to SMRPG or the M&L games as part of the Paper Mario series.

They should totally put the VB on the VC. Also, where's my fraction of a vote for I Am A Teacher: Super Mario's Sweater?

I just sent in my vote for next month, but I forgot to include SMRPG. Maybe I should sent another entry from one of my other email addresses.

I read a lot when I was homeschooled, but I read a lot less when I went to high school, where the books for our book reports had to be picked from a list, and we couldn't do one on a book we had read before, so I wouldn't read even over the summer, because I was afraid any books I read would be on the list next year, and they would have been wasted. And most of the books on the list bored me. Especially Don Quixote. Worst book ever. I read Harry Potter 7 in about 8 hours my first time through, though. I try to read the Bible every day, but not as much as I wish I did. Other than that, I don't do much reading anymore, at least of books. I never really got back into it after high school. I've got a whole bunch of books lined up that I really want to read, but I never seem to find the time.
