Very busy, yes.

What I learned on Sesame Street today:

Apparently they've given new lyrics to "Do Your Ears Hang Low." I always knew the version:

Do your ears hang low?
Do they wobble to and fro?
Can you tie them in a knot?
Can you tie them in a bow?
Can you throw them over your shoulder
Like a continental soldier?
Do your ears hang low?

But in the version they were singing, the third-to-last and second-to-last lines were:

Do they go down to your toes?
Can you tie them round your nose?

O.o Go figure. Guess they think kids won't know what a continental soldier is (not like I did or anything).

Had leftover ratatouille for lunch. So yummy and 1 1/2 points. Squee. So I got to eat the roll I saved from Panera's yesterday ^_^

FFX

I sat down to play some FFX this afternoon, because there was this one stretch of land that I just could not get across without dying. Stupid lack of save points. Anyway, on my third try (which I think is the longest anything has taken me in this game... even that rassafrackin' Mortibody Seymore) I got through, only to walk into ANOTHER battle with Mr. Stupid Undeadface who should have been sent to the Farplane by now. And the book says THIS one is a real challenge. Like the last one wasn't! I am SO screwed.

I also noticed that Ifrit's ass appears to be on fire all the time.

I figured out systems to fight depending on which enemies popped up - if it was the Big Beastie-Little Beastie-Mecha Thing combo, I'd use Auron, Tidus, and Rikku or Yuna so one of them could steal from the mecha and collapse it. If it was the Plant Thing-Plant Thing-Explody Ball or Ogre Thing combination, which is what killed me the other times I tried it - because my characters kept getting confused and killing each other >_< - I equipped Confuse Wards to whoever had them and used Lulu for fire spells, and Auron or Wakka or Kimahri for beatin' on. And if it was those godforsaken Explody Ball-Explody Ball-Lighning Shaman Guy combo, I summoned Ifrit each time and the Explody Balls cured him with their fire attacks whenever the Shaman dude Thundaga'd him.

I suppose I should be cleaning or doing something productive, but I did the dishes, so... *sits about and waits for [livejournal.com profile] caitirin to get home*
