Wow, it DOES look ugly...
Still, from people complaining, I thought the new update page would be WAY worse. But yeah, ugly. And boring. SixApart's motto must be "if ain't broke, fix it anyway."
If you haven't seen this: OMG Mugetsu/kudakitsune plushie! ♥
I had three things to do today:
a) Pay the remaining payment of college. I, um, well. It was 9:30 am, and I was soooo sleepy, and I misread the receive. It said the whole year was two hundred and something, and this payment was eighty-something, and I understood I had to pay the two hundred (which I didn't have) so I left. FAIL from me.
b) You'd think El Corte Inglés, the biggest department store in Spain, would have employees who know when a certain game will arrive. Not only that dumbass had no idea, but kept arguing to me that the Gamecube version of Twilight Princess didn't exist and never would.
"But the official Nintendo Europe website says otherwise!," I replied. "There IS a Gamecube version, and will be released tomorrow the 15th."
"Well, er, even if that page says so, I haven't heard of that game ever coming here, sorry," asshat said.
And then she went ahead and told me they (El Corte Inglés) aren't going to get any new Gamecube games ever, and the only ones they were going to sell are the old ones they had over there.
...Way to go, asshole. Your ways to scare customers away is astounding! *thumbs up*Also, Elcorteingles.es disagrees with you as they're selling that game that doesn't exist and you guys aren't getting evah. If it wasn't for the shipping rates and the 10-day delay, I'd buy it online.
And then my uncle asks around in Carrefour, and they don't know about the game coming out tomorrow either. *facepalm* What the hell, department stores in Coruña. At least they didn't deny its existance while implying the Gamecube is obsolete.
In short, FAIL from everyone, but especially from the retarded Corte lady.
Tomorrow I'll be calling the stores anyway. Oh, I think my brothers and my mom know a videogames-only store, so I'll ask them the number.
c) Picking the new LCD monitor up and installing it on Larg. If you think having to deal with the new update page is bad, try to adjust your myopic eyes to a new resolution. I'm going blind or something. It so happens the monitor CAN do 1024x768, which is the largest resolution I can handle, but it looks all crispy and shitty. The 1280x1024 looks perfect, but after half a hour of doing random crap my eyes hurt.
So I'm using my Toph icon while I'm adjusting to this shit, because I'm wondering if I'll go blind. Hopefully, I'll be able to find settings to make 1024x768 suck less.
OK, I'm making a disk defragmentation now, so I'll move to the laptop. Meanwhile, a meme.
A Duklyon in an astrology what?! But the rest is sorta amusing XDDDD I love how they picked up my animal interests because it sounds like the original carol or something.
And "fiiiiive polar beaaaaars!" makes me think of Lost. And I think I've seen an image (I don't know if it was fanart or official crack art, but I recall seeing it) with chibi Gourry in a cow costume *brain breaks*.
Can books swim? Wouldn't they just at the best case float and get too wet to be readable?
