I got a date with the good eleven...
Never gave me any trouble till after nine...
Good, good good good eleven, mmm...
Yes, eleven will always be a friend of mine...
All love to Bob Dorough. My tastes are pulling me towards the doughy and Pollyanna. That's why I kept quoting Everyday by Buddy Holly and the Crickets. I get put into the mind of that glorious take from Elvis on Blue Moon. That song would end up influencing Roy Orbison a great deal.
Blue Moon...
You saw me standing alone...
Without a dream in my heart...
Without a love of my own...
I could go for a long drive downtown, let myself run under the speed limit a little. I could let the Miracles play, if I download their stuff, rip it. You know Smokey raped several young women? Devastating, I know. So, I can't give a cent to 'im. A shame cause that one song is encrusted with the glitter of dreams and memories, a truly golden track.
I'm just a bard at, the end of my rope...
But I can't stop trying...
I can't give up hope.
There is a fun little pageantry I usually entertain on days I get to paint my nails red, but that's not today. This day is tired and cool. On those brighter days, I can hear the castanets and clicks in my stride.
I'll make you happy, baby...
Just wait and see!
For every kiss you give me...
I'll give you three!
Supreme Empress Ronnie Spector, take me.
Let me use the restroom rq.
No more edibles before work.
Back on a Final Fantasy kick. Dunno if I'm gonna do XII or finish VI. I keep trying to get through Type 0, but it's kinda boring to be honest. VI is good but I just kind of hate the ATB system, which is hilarious for me to admit. I do really like VIII, I got like a third the way through or something like that. I don't remember how far deep, I just remember I did a solid 30 hours, at least.
My favorite Final Fantasy games are X and VIII. That should tell you everything you need to know about my tastes. I love summoning cool creatures and doing big elemental attacks, and I LOVE being able to heal by attacking yourself with your own element.
I love the dynamics of the team abilities of FFX, and I really do wish that the main cast of VIII was more interesting, to complement the decent battle system. FFVIII is a mess, fans have already beaten that fact to death.
One thing I will admit is that I have simply never been impressed with the gameplay or story of VII. I know that you're literally required to worship at the altar of FFVII for most people, but I honestly could never get into it.
I feel as if the ATB system (even when sped up) ironically feels a lot slower than pure turn-based combat. ATB Final Fantasy games feel like work, I dunno. Not an enjoyable effort/style for me. VIII uses ATB but the junction summons system saves it. VI's pixel art, soundtrack and characters save it for me. I simply cannot bring myself to care about Cloud as a character.
The Zack reveal is good, but I feel like Cloud before that point is just... really boring. To me he's a prime example of a character who sounds better in theory than how he plays out in the actual work. To me, Cloud Strife feels a lot like Anakin Skywalker. I feel like you can already see where I'm going with that.
I'm so tired...
I remember when I was bored working the desk at the ice arena, I went on Wikipedia to regale myself with the story of Roy Orbison. A really classic story, it seems like. He was a nerd who got a little taste of money and success and didn't know how to act.
I keep nodding off, man. I had to wake up early to drive my sister to work... I feel like shit. I need to sleep. The old folks notice and feel bad for me. Jesus.
Gonna check in on Remas. Manal isn't as communicative right now. See you soon.
