Today was Easter Sunday, though that really doesn't mean anything to me since I'm not religious, and I've long since stopped enjoying hunting for vinegary, technicolor eggs. Oh, I guess there are bunnies, but whatever. Since I had the day off, I wanted to spend most of it lazing about in bed, but my family had other plans and by lunchtime we found ourselves picnicking in a park by the ocean. Seeing the sea is always nice, but spending time outdoors always makes me *yawn* tired. All I really want at this point is a decent night's rest.

So, as I've recently acquired a Felicia Blue PSP, I've been checking out some titles for the PSP and these two caught my eye:

The graphics are pretty simple, and it's completely in b&w, and dude look at it! It's like playing in an M.C. Escher drawing!

It comes with a camera so you can take pictures of your clothes, and it can supposedly keep track of your closet and you can even coordinate outfits. It seems to have a lot of fun little features like finding what colors suit you best, create graphs of your inventory based on color, type and season, and even a love-indicator thing and horoscopes, etc.

If I didn't already have a turntable I'd totally want to get this cute suitcase turntable:

I've been too busy lately for games but I popped in on play-asia to check out some videogames and found a few that I am interested in. Such as, Wish Room (the english version = Hotel Dusk), which sounds just up my alley. It's from the same company that released Trace Memory, which I sort of liked, but for some reason it was a bit of a disappointment. I'm hoping Wish Room will be everything Trace Memory could have been but wasn't. Then there is Zettai Onkan Training DS which is supposed to teach you tone and pitch (and maybe you'll score a 100 next time you go karaoke-ing), and Teku Teku Angel Pocket which combines a digital pedometer + DS software to monitor steps and weight loss. I'm really interested in DS games which make creative use of the touch screen, but it also seems to me like the games out for the DS are much more thinking-outside-the-box than games for the PSP. Which is cool. And maybe if the price is right I'll even pick up Shaberu! DS Oryouri Navi which is a speaking cookbook, basically.

The time has finally come. I've actually gathered up a stack of cds that I think I'm going to sell. I think this is the first time ever that I've done this; I've always been something of a packrat/collector so it's hard for me to part with things, no matter how bad/embarrassing they may be. But it's gotten to the point where I've got cds that I just don't listen to anymore so why keep them, right? There are cds from my past that I bought when I was young and just didn't know any better, cds that I've taken a chance on and lost, and cds that I once liked but just have no interest anymore. I'll probably trade them in at Amoeba for store credit. And the cds I'm curious about now: Jarvis's solo cd, Gene's Peel Sessions, The Good The Bad & The Queen, and the Zoolander soundtrack (for Rufus!), and maybe some Tristeza or Album Leaf cds.

I also visited Scoops for the first time last night, and it was fabulous! I loved that place. I got a scoop of the Raspberry & Balsamic Vinegar and a scoop of the Chocolate Peppermint but I later regretted the Chocolate because it was so plain! I mean, it was good, but I wish I had gotten the Sour Cherry Lavender or the Jasmine Tea & Peanut Butter, instead. And the store owner is totally awesome too; so friendly and genuinely interested in suggestions for future flavors. I wish I had left a suggestion for something with Earl Grey-- I just don't know what would go with it!

So that I can buy stuff from anthropologie! Sure some of their stuff is kind of weird and all of it is overpriced but every now and then they have some really cute things.

Ever since I got my DS I've been going cuckoo for videogames! I don't know why. But I have this huge list of games I want to get:

• Valkyrie Profile 2: Silmeria (PS2)
• Valkyrie Profile: Lenneth (PSP) (I'm a sucker for Square RPGs)
  
• Kanji no Wataridori (DS)
• Contact (DS)
• Golden Sun: The Lost Age (GBA)
• Yggdra Union (GBA)
• Riviera (GBA)
• Gyakuten Saiban 2 (GBA)
• Gyakuten Saiban 3 (GBA)
• Doraemon: Nobita no Kyouryuu (DS)
• Mother 3 (GBA)
• Hudson Best Collection Vol. 1: Bomberman Collection (GBA)
  
• Castlevania: Aria of Sorrow (GBA)
• Legend of Zelda: The Minish Cap (GBA)
• Famicom MiniSeries Vol. 1: Super Mario Bros. (GBA)

...et cetera. I was also curious about the new Nintendo bit Generations games but upon further study they seem a bit.. boring. But who knows, I could be wrong. I'm also interested in a game for DS that I don't think is out yet, called Wish Room (or in the US: Hotel Dusk: Room 215). Sigh, when I was younger I never had money to buy the games I wanted; now that I'm older (and slightly richer) there's TOO MUCH TO CHOOSE FROM!!!

And curse the internet, I was looking for an Ochaken mug when I found this site that is all about "cute" + "accessories" so of course I went nuts and bought some stuff, like a Gloomy Bear (an old favorite! the awesomest bear ever) phone strap, and a Doraemon phone strap-- simply because it's Doraemon, and even better, he is sitting in a natto pod! And when I saw this Rilakkuma key chain I couldn't resist, because I have a thing for tin boxes. I rationalized my purchases by telling myself that I wasn't being greedy because I bought a couple of things for upcoming birthdays. I really do need to stop spending so much money though.
