It's been a good 2 days of TV (if I were caught up with Psych, it would be 3 days since that's on tonight). How I Met Your Mother and The Big Bang Theory were both excellent (which is good for HIMYM since it's been rather hit or miss lately for me). And, even though I haven't really talked much about it on this LJ (I think I used to on my old one), OMG LOST!!! I can't believe it's going to be finished for good this year. I've been following it since season 1 (But not during the first airing. My mom heard about the show from someone at work, and we watched all of the reruns they aired over the summer before season 2 started in the fall.), so I'm rather sad to see one of my favorite shows end. After all of the insane plot twists though, it's definitely for the best. The fans can only handle so much. XD
Anyways, I'm up posting this early because I woke up early by mistake. I have a class 2 times a week, but it starts at 2 different times. On Wednesdays it's at 9:05, and on Fridays it's at 8:00. This is because it's not 3 times a week, so to compensate, they make one day cover 2 days worth of class. But yeah, I woke up when I have to on Fridays, so I didn't get my extra hour of sleep. :( But at least I have time to eat before I go instead of when I come back, so I guess that's good.
In regards to video games, the Pokémon fandom has been rather exciting lately with the upcoming release of HeartGold & SoulSilver in the U.S., plus the news about a new game that might possibly be Gen V. I ended up preordering HGSS at GameStop when I went to download the "Pikachu-Colored" Pichu (it's shiny, don't try to make it sound more special than it already is Nintendo/Game Freak/whoever decided that XD). I'm paranoid about preorder goodies, and I don't know if Nintendo World gives out the figures at their events or not, so I preordered just to be safe. (Plus my friend was working that day, so she was trying to convince me to preorder. XD) I'm still going to the event at Nintendo World though, but I'm not sure how that will work out for me. I hope GameStop has a midnight release so that I can pick up the games (and my FIGURES @_@), go to NYC and rebuy the games so I don't look stupid at the event, and then I can just return the games at GameStop later to get my money back. Then I'll be guaranteed to have my figures and games, just in a really complicated way. XD;
Then, the game release that I keep forgetting about, Ace Attorney Investigations, is coming out this month. Not sure if I have money for it (most of the money I have right now is for paying off HGSS), but that should be an interesting game to play once I do get my hands on it. However, I'm surprisingly not in a rush to get it. I played the flash demo (Edgey's office had so many references to the older PW games ♥), and I did like it. But I'm not too keen on the whole Logic thing. Plus the character art that I've seen for the new characters all look pretty dumb. They look like they'd fit in with the characters in the AJ games rather than the PW games. I mean, honestly... Edgeworth with that girl? (Whose name I fail to remember right now.) How is that even going to fit into the timeline as far as continuity goes? Isn't AAI supposed to take place at some point inbetween PW1-PW3? If it was set after PW3, that's fine, but I could've swore that I read it was between PW1-PW3.
And finally...
( Another meme, wooooo~ )
See ya! ;)

P.S. This post has been in the making since 8:something-ish this morning. I ended up not eating before going to class. XD; And instead of leaving class right away when it was over, I decided to take advantage of the computers in there. Just like I thought, their internet connection is much faster than the one in the dorms. I'm pretty sure that the cafeteria uses the same connection (because the one in the dorms is called the "Residence Hall Network"), so one of these days I want to go there with my laptop and stalk the place for a booth to sit in so I can have an outlet to charge my laptop with while I'm using it. But 99.9% of the time, there's NEVER a booth available to sit in. So I'd only be able to use my laptop for about 3 hours before it dies out (I have a 17" diagonal screen, so the power gets used up faster than most other laptops that have smaller screens). But yeah, I can't stand how slow the internet is in here. I NEED to be able to go on Youtube and be able to download files that I might need. (The connection here is so slow that I can't even download PowerPoint slideshows that I need to print out for my Art History class. So annoying. >_<)
EDIT: And even after writing all of this, I realized that there was MORE that I wanted to talk about. XD;
Another game that's supposed to be coming out soon (this month I believe) is the sequel to Endless Ocean. I actually really want this game. I enjoyed the first one quite a bit (even though it was so short). I got an e-mail from Nintendo the other day that mentioned it, so I read the description. It seems like they're adding more features to the gameplay, such as being able to help injured sea life and getting chased by sharks and whatnot. And based on the pictures, it looks like you won't be stuck in a tropical area the whole time since there's one that has icebergs and stuff. :D My main gripe with the original was that the map felt so limited, and therefore DIDN'T make the game feel like an endless ocean. So I'm hoping this game corrects that with lots of new locations to swim (I LOVED swiming around in that semi-secret sunken pirate ship area in the first game ♥), and maybe not having those annoying pop-ups that appear when you start to swim outside of the boundaries of your dive zone (or just make the dive zone boundary bigger at least).
The other thing I wanted to mention is the show Accidentally On Purpose, which just started airing in the fall. I didn't bother to watch it until like November or December, but I ended up liking it. So I need to go back and watch the episodes that aired before that. I like most of the cast (but I get annoyed by the sister, Abby, sometimes), and I think it is funny. However, sometimes it feels like Jenna Elfman (who plays the lead female, Billie) has forced humor. I haven't been noticing this as much lately, so maybe she's hit her stride now. But the first couple of times I watched a couple of minutes of it, I didn't like that, so I just turned off the TV and waited for BBT to come on. But yeah, I like Zack and Davis, either separately or together. They're such fun characters, and they have a great dynamic with each other. :)
...And now this reminds me of something about BBT. So I guess I'll put an LJ-cut here for spoilers.
( I don't know why I do this when I know most people will click this anyway XD )
