So, there’s the bonus area in the Nintendo DS remake of Chrono Trigger called the “Lost Sanctum”. I managed to get to it after the rise of the Black Omen, and boy, is this sidequest long. I’ve spent roughly five hours going back and forth between the green portal from 65,000,000 B.C. and the one from 600 A.D. helping a band of Reptites bring their village back together after a monster attack. Earlier in the game, I had spent most of my time in pre-history helping the humans fight off the Reptites.

Not much that I can say this week. North Carolina scraped by Oklahoma, giving me the only points for my bracket. I’ll need to cross my fingers and do some sort of weird dance to pretend that I’m helping out the Tar Heels to actually win the NCAA Championship. I might as well give up by now and stand behind Villanova. They’ve been on a roll lately.

I just finished watching the enjoyable first season of Maria Watches Over Us (Maria-sama ga Miteru) this morning. Sadly, I’m still two whole seasons behind, but I’m going to take my time with them, since each is only twelve or thirteen episodes long and don’t need to be marathonned.

This is what I get for only picking one #1 seed to go to the Final Four this year…a lot of broken hearts. I should have known better to bet against Connecticut, but I just had to be the contrarian and pick them to lose to Purdue. Then Kansas lost to Michigan State and broke my bracket in half. North Carolina, it looks like you’re my only hope now.

…ten steps away from actual freedom. About two months from now, I should finally have paid off the credit card that I obtained in college, and cancelled about two years after I left college in order to get one with a more reasonable interest rate. Right now, the balance is currently sitting somewhere around $600, and it was hovering around $5,000 at its peak. Hey, the money for those college books and that personal computer had to come from somewhere, didn’t they? Soon, I’ll be left with a single credit card that I use sparingly, and a student loan bill which can only be expected to be reasonably paid off in ten years. It’s not an impossibility…really, it isn’t. As long as I keep telling myself that, I should do just fine.
