Haha, I see that now. I just have the first sentence. I do appreciate the sentiment though!

Well she played Sims 3 predominantly before Farmville.

So my co-worker who is around 50-60 yrs old plays Final Fantasy. She got hooked on a Final Fantasy on the Playstation. She got into gaming from her grandchildren. She would play along them and that's how she got hooked. I don't know which Final Fantasy that hooked her but she did say she has all of them; I don't know if that is all of the PS FFs, all FFs on Sony platform, or all FFs. Either way I was definitely surprised. She spends most of her time on Farmville now.

I saw it last night, actually, as I was falling asleep. This person gave that scene a caption too, heh. Also, that is one of my favorite episodes so far. I should do a 72nd and a 3rd where Todd has to babysit unruly children, for some reason. That'd be awesome. Anyhoo...

Wuv, Yer Mom

This made me lol.

Yay, Your Online!! How are You Julie?

whats with the whole my little pony craze that everyone is in? I dun get it ;/

Hey dodie

what happened to your profile? it was all vibrant before

I was about to IM you the second you went offline lol

I almost put Nier down. During the quest to get the "miracle fish" (or whatever it is called) for your daughter I was fishing in the wrong spot. It was on the beach in the town which was freaking hard, the proper place was to go through a small cave to a secluded beach. Luckily I found the right place before I put it down.

Looked at my list this morning, replace Valkyrie Profile 2 & Star Ocean: TLH with Nier and Lost Odyssey. VP2 & SO:TLH are two of my "bonus" games for the year; the third bonus game is Xenosaga: Episode II.

A tomato gravy (a.k.a gravy or Sunday gravy) is a term for a tomato sauce. The Italian word "sugo" has two definitions: (1) sauce (salsa) & (2) gravy (sauce with meat). So a meatless tomato sauce will be called a sauce or marinara sauce while a sauce with meat will be a gravy. My great-grandmother would put in meatballs, sausages, ham hocks, chicken wings, or something I can't spell correctly (brogal, soft "g") it is flank steak covered with pine nuts, and parsley (there may be a cheese), rolled up and put into the sauce.

Let's see if I can remember without the list:

Golden Sun: Dark Dawn
Dragon Quest IX
Dragon Quest VI
Tales of Symphonia
Tales of Vesperia
Magna Carta: Tears of Blood
Final Fantasy: The 4 Heroes of Light
Persona 4
Xenosaga: Episode 1
Valkyrie Profile 2
Kingdom Hearts
Star Ocean: The Last Hope

I believe that is it.

DQV is tough to find in stores. It had a limited print in the US therefore prices won't be going down for used. DQIV is another game where the characters have personality. As does the recent DQVI. I do believe you can get the hero's (DQIX) mentor to join the party after doing a quest.

One of my New Year's resolutions - neither of them were serious just recreational - was to beat 12 RPGs this year. One for each month. And I have 3 other RPGs as extras if I beat the 12 I put down. So far I'm doing ok. I didn't beat anything in Jan. but I did down Golden Sun: Dark Dawn earlier this month and I'm putting in some heavy time into DQIX - finally. I'm taking more time than I need because of alchemy, and trying to set up my characters with multiple vocations - that takes a lot of time. I know I most likely can skip all that and beat the game but I'm setting myself up for after-game stuff (Legacy Bosses). I'm hoping to beat DQIX by the end of this month, just a few more days, doubtful but if I can get it in early March that'll be good. Then I could finish up Persona 4 which I'm close to beat, near the end, so that should take to long.

As for myself I'm doing ok. Looking for a second job. Girlfriend is about to leave for Basic (boot camp) on March 15th. School. Learning new recipes. I want to ask my grandmother is she remembers the basics of her mother's Tomato gravy; she put in meatballs, sausage, and ham hocks. That last one surprised me. I have never tried ham hocks but am willing to try it in the gravy.
