State of the Neko address: week 86

song+ Penny & Me- Hanson- Underneath
book+ DQ9 strategy guide
quest+ DQ9 perfect game file
upper+ the concert is in a few days! yay! xD
downer+ a few iffy spots on my arm will need touch-up work
attire+ pajamas
drink+ milk


time kinda got away from me again this week. no good excuse, i was just really involved in my playing of DQ9. i'm working on a perfect game file.. it's taking a while. xD this means fighting every enemy at least once, finishing every quest offered, and collecting one of every item. it's much harder than you'd think. i've been working on it for a week and some and i'm at maybe 80% completion.

i'm looking forward to the Hanson concert this weekend, it'll be me, Moose, Ashley, and maybe Kayla (if she doesn't have to work) and it's gonna be awesome. i'm SO excited about it that i've been trying to get everyone to listen to my favorite tracks to get them to understand why i'm so excited. xD it hasn't worked so far, but that's hardly deterring me. for the record the 10 tracks (& their origin albums) i suggest trying out to form an opinion post-MmmBop are the following:
Penny & Me (Underneath)
Give A Little (Shout It Out)
Strong Enough to Break (Underneath)
Musical Ride (Shout It Out)
Blue Sky (the Walk)
Thinkin' Bout Something (Shout It Out)
Lost Without Each Other (Underneath)
Running Man (the Walk)
Carry You There (Shout It Out)
Tearing It Down (the Walk)

seriously, try these tracks out (like on YouTube or whatever if you're not ready to commit to buying them) and then make up your mind about the band. a lot changes over 15 years of songwriting. xD the last three albums have been absolutely phenomenal, and i'm just really really happy to be going to see them in a few days. my favorite album changes based on my mood, but by far my favorite track overall remains Penny & Me, which is why it's at the top of the recommendation list.

my music tattoo is healing pretty well. there's a few spots that'll need to be touched up, but i'm overall very happy with it. anyhow, for those who somehow missed it one Facebook, i have a picture of it shortly after it was completed, and when the healing is done i'll take another one of it. it's blurry because the camera it was taken with was accidentally sat on and with the screen blackened Kyu couldn't see to focus it properly. xD any pictures i took now (with my camera) would be clear, but would have scabbing and that doesn't make it look very awesome. as a bonus though, i do have a picture of the design drawing i did that became the stencil for it. i suppose this is also proof for people that think it's a script used for the letters and not my handwriting. the bars got left out of the tattoo for fear of blurring and just looking generally icky, but on the sketch you can actually tell where the notes are and hum Zelda's Lullaby to yourself, if you're so inclined. xD these are sized more or less to scale too.
