mousmeAfter a very long day yesterday that was preceded by a very short night of sleep, I decided to sleep in a bit today. That went well. :)
So now I'm having a very late breakfast, in the company of my cats, before I start gathering my stuff together in order to take my bike to work again. Of course, I don't feel like moving at all, so that may be problematic. ;)
I finally worked up the nerve to try Resident Evil 4 again on the PS2. I was slightly less of a wuss this time, partly because I now knew what I was getting into. So I made it past the really scary first scene, and wandered around the little house-thing with my heart in my mouth, and then nearly got killed by bandits. Or something. Peasants with scythes. It was a little surreal, since I have no idea why they were there or trying to kill me, save perhaps to be there to make me practice my shooting. As it turned out, they were easier to dispatch with a knife. Go figure, AND I saved on ammo. Go me!

toughlovemuse and my experience with DragonQuest VIII, I now know that it is okay for me to go into people's houses and break their stuff in order to get what's inside. There were no NPCs to bump into, so I don't know if I still apologize to them. ;)
I made to the first save point, anyway, and by then my nerves were kind of jangling, so I turned it off again. I get the feeling that this game is going to take a loooong time for me to finish. Maybe I'll get used to it after a while, but for now it's turning out to be highly stressful to play. ("OMG there's got to be a zombie right behind that corner! AUGH!" Ironically, I have yet to run into a zombie.)
That's that. My plans for the rest of the time I'm here include a shower and more coffee. I have to leave in about an hour and fifteen minutes, so I have plenty of time to get stuff done, as long as I don't try my hand at RE4 again.
