Bravely Default

Pre-ordered my copy of the collector’s edition of Bravely Default today. I hadn’t played the demo yet, but I downloaded it as soon as I got home. After playing it all night, I’m looking forward to the full release even more!

Since it seems like we’ll be snowed in tomorrow, we braved the grocery store and got a few things that we needed. It looks like my day will be spent finishing up a few shop orders and presents and then gaming since we won’t be going anywhere.

If anyone else reading this is going to be hit by this incoming winter storm, stay safe and stay warm!

Tokyo Disney

Flashbacking to my trip for this post.

All the times that we’d visited Japan before, we never made it to Tokyo Disney, so we decided that we needed to go to there at least once and what better time than Halloween! Also, it’s Tokyo Disney’s 30th anniversary, so there were double the decorations. We ended up going with a friend of ours and her friend and, since we went in the evening, it was half off the ticket price! I don’t think Disney World and Disneyland have that sort of price special, but it would be awesome if they did seeing as the full price tickets are so expensive anymore. Anyway, as far as rides go, we only rode Space Mountain. I think it took us nearly two hours to actually ride it because the line was so long, but we had fun.

After Space Mountain, we went around the shops and the character houses. This cuteness was outside of Minnie’s house.

I loved it! I loved the expressions on the cat’s faces too! I wish I had been able to get a photo at a better angle, but this one was good enough.

After we were done with the shops, it was fireworks time! I took a lot of pictures during it that I’ll post later. Some of them came out a bit blurry, so I’ll pick out the best ones to post.

And that’s my short Tokyo Disney experience. Next time, I want to go during the day and spend more time there.

Snow

As expected, we awoke to a lot of snow this morning. It wasn’t a pleasant ride to work, but it could have been worse. The roads weren’t as plowed as we thought they should have been, but we’ve driven through far worse. Of course, I would have loved to have just stayed home in bed all day, but I like having money, so not going into work wasn’t an option.

Work was irritating and I’ll leave it at that. Also, I think I might be coming down with something, so that didn’t help my mood. Here’s hoping that I can ward off whatever it is.

After work, my day got much better with yummy pizza and a package from a friend of mine in Thailand, so my night ends on a happy note.

Good night!

New Year’s Day 2014

First photo of 2014 (pay no attention to the clock in the back; we have yet to change the time on it), Phantom as always. Kitty is very offended by the smell of beer.

My first day of the year wasn’t all that exciting and even felt somewhat gloomy thanks to the overcast skies. It’s supposed to start snowing again tonight, so that means that the drive to work in the morning wont be very fun and very cold.

Today wasn’t all a loss though, I did get a few things done that needed to be done and also changed and registered my domain. My handle here and other places has been moecona for a few years now, but I felt that, the blog at least, needed a change and this one is a bit more personal to me. Aside from that, my roommate installed my new graphics card for me, so my computer is running a lot smoother than it was. It was starting to get impossible to play many games or go on any site that had flash without it crashing. So far, I’m happy with it!

This weekend, if I’m not having to work OT, I’ll be working on my layout. I meant to have that done before today, but with the computer crashing so much, I didn’t want to take a chance on losing any editing work.

Stopping here for now so that I can watch more of The Twilight Zone marathon before I have to go to bed, so good night! I hope everyone had an enjoyable start to the new year.
