The Michael Swayne Story V: King of his Castle

Dad drove me to Sinking Spring this morning to cash my check and deliver the store's papers. I also made a $85 payment on my computer. So, only $81 left to pay on it. I would have paid more this time, but I think I may need to buy some cat food one day next week. But if people pay me what they owe (Dad: $20, my sister: $10) I won't be so broke. Not that it really matters, as I will have more than enough to pay for it with my next check.

One I thing I refuse to pay is the phone bill. I used the phone 4, maybe 5 times in a month. And only one of those times was me actually calling a number. If you know me, then you know I kept track of everything associated with the phone. 84% of received calls this month were from Suzy, 9% from Grandma, and 7% other people. She even called my brother's phone while we were in the garage playing pool this evening, because she called the house phone and no one answered. So, when the bill arrives, I will pay the Internet portion, and Dad can pay the phone portion. If he doesn't have the money, then I will cancel the phone service. There is no way that I am going to keep something that I don't use often enough. And I'm certainly not going to pay $30.99 + whatever taxes are applied for using the phone 5 times.

So, as I stated above, Dad, my brother, and I played pool in the garage. I played ten games, and lost all ten times. I lost to my brother four times and to Dad six time. My cutoff point is at ten losses, and when I hit that mark I went back in the house. Even though I lost so many times, I had fun. Each game came so close, so I am glad. I know I tried my best. There wer several games where I came close to winning, but I always let it get in my head and I would miss or get robbed of the win. Oh well. Better luck next time.

I played some more of Final Fantasy VII last night. I am still not where I want to be, but I am inching closer. I worked on Legion, and it still sucks. I also played Revenant Wings, and managed to progress some in it. I am at Chapter 3 now. I think it's neat that Ba'Gamnan's equipment are named after him (Ba'Gamail, Ba'Gangsaw, Ba'Gabuckler). Although, it kinda makes me think that he won't always be a playable character. It would be great if he was though. He never seemed like such a bad guy when I played Final Fantasy XII. He probably didn't start out as a headhunter. Doing regular hunts must not have paid enough money, or maybe he was recognized by the Empire for his tracking prowess. That could be why he started hunting bad guys. Maybe.

Well, I am going to stop for now. There isn't much else to say. It will be getting much colder here tomorrow. I have checked recently, but it was forecast to only be 37 degrees tomorrow. That's from 57 today, and 63 yesterday. Anyway, I hope to see you around the forums, and until then...

Later!

Michael
