So, Mike and Bryan will apparently be signing stuff at Comic-con, and Bryan revealed in the letter about this that they are currently working on a documentary of working on the animated series. Probably will have some tie-ins to the movie production, no word on how or when it will be released. My personal hopes are for a bonus in a giant trilogy megapack. That'd be awesome.

Also, I had an awesome deal for a Wii and hardware, but it fell through (the friend selling it to me realized that he was actually interested in the upcoming Wii stuff). Still, I'd been planning on getting one for a while. So, I was outlaying the whole budget for myself, writing down how much I needed, how much I was soon to get, etc. on my way to work, feeling that my budget could have problems. I needed another 30-50 bucks if I wanted to get it on the time that I was planning. But how?

At work (concession stand at the movie theater), the answer came. I served two customers, and then the one said, "And, before you give us our food, we'd like to congratulate you, because we're actually some of the 'mystery shoppers' that you might of heard of. And, since you asked us to make our drink a size larger, you won $50, and because you mentioned M&Ms to us, it's another $50. So, just sign here..." Yeah. The point being that I got a $100 bonus that I was never expecting. Perfect for my plans.

Unfortunately, the one that I got crashes after 20-30 minutes (I don't think the fans are working, so it overheats), but I can still return it and get a new one. Whatever the case, I feel like life doesn't want me to play Wind Waker.

Lots of work this week. Again, I still need to make money. Unfortunately, my work is causing a problem with a family vacation, so I'm going to have to leave that early, as well as possibly head off to it late. Bit of a disappointment. But, when it comes down to keeping your job, and thus the only form of income for the school year vs. spending an extra 2-3 days with family, that job thing is kind of necessary.

Um, on the final dungeon of FFVIII. It's the coolest final dungeon I've ever seen, not gonna lie. Even better than Kefka's Tower and Hyrule Castle from TP. It's also an actual challenge. I feel like they realized around Disc 4 that the combat for the first 3 discs sucked and that they should actually make it exciting, instead of relying on Summons that take half a minute at least to show. Most of the boss fights took a half hour, no joke, most of that being the same animations over and over. In all honesty, VIII should have been the best. But they screwed up their potential royally.

Anywho, work tomorrow, gotta get up early to catch the bus. Good night.
