sick again

[moonwise]

I have lots of things I could post about, but mostly I'd like to stop coughing. Thanks to all the pathogens JP has been bringing home, I have gotten sick more often in the last year than I have since high school, and this latest bug has been making me cough till I'm breathless. Tomorrow I will go to the MD to get some cough medicine, and I'm half hoping and half fearing that they'll give me codeine. Hoping for it because it works; fearing because it makes me hyper, and while it's in my system, I rattle on about nothing in particular to whoever is listening. It also keeps me up at night.

Husband is downstairs playing L. A. Noire, and shortly I'm going to curl up in bed and play something with Final Fantasy in the title. It will be so nice to get my energy back when this is over, and not from codeine.

Well I played FFIX first and thus found the transition from that to FFVII to FFVIII rather difficult. IX is both a throwback to the goofier old FFs (it probably resembles V the most in terms of tone) and sort of takes the traditional roles and themes and expands them. It has a surprising depth to it once you look past all the sillyness and cutesy style. Storywise it's very charming (even if it does borrow far too many plot elements from older FF titles) but the gameplay sucks. I say that as a fan who has played it far too many times: it sucks and is so uninspired that you will grind your teeth more than your party.
