Sick Again

On Friday I went for a walk to see if I could find any new stores on my way I saw a couple of turtles hanging out in a water outlet and a duck and a bird chilling under a bridge. As far as finding any new stores there was nothing that I would go back to so that was kind of a bust. On the way back I picked up a drink at the store, it was a pear flavored Fanta drink. I don't know why I got it because I new it was a risk having never tried it before and I was actually thirsty. So what did I think of it, well it wasn't that good, it tasted like pear but I don't know if that was a good thing. It was also a little too sweet.

Once I got home I ate a bunch of snacks, popcorn, chips etc. that was basically my dinner. Later that night I was really not feeling well. I ended up throwing up a bunch of times, which is super rare for me. The last time I threw up was 7 years ago I remember because I was visiting Japan at the time. I was up the whole night and the worst part was suppose to teach the next morning. Well I must be turning Japanese because I did brush myself off and made my way to work in the morning. I really didn't want to go but its not a job where someone can just cover for you. If I wasn't there there would be no class and I didn't want to disappoint the kids. I made it though the lesson ok but afterwards I was again not feeling that great on top of that I was exhausted. After I got home I slept for about 8 hours with a few trips to the bathroom mixed in.

The next morning I was feeling a lot better not perfect but around 90% or so. We were suppose to go have lunch with my wife's grandparents and again though I wasn't really feeling it I saddled up. We went to a shrine to have a traditional lunch that was to benefit a charity. It was a newer shrine, not 100+ years old maybe only 10 but it was still very nice. The monk there was more like a comedian than your typical monk character. I was a little wary of eating the food having just started to feel better but it turned out just fine.

On the game front I have bought a few games over the last 2 weeks or so but haven't posted anything till now. Here is a quick recap of what I got. First a game that I bought a while back and just forgot about, Vampire Resurrection ($18) for the Xbox 360. This game was released in the US as a download only which turned me off, I like physical media. I didn't really need the game as it just has Vampire Hunter and Vampire Savior which are 2 games I have on the Saturn but this gives you online play and look at that awesome cover art.

Then I picked up a nice copy of Bomberman Fight! ($2.50) for the Sega Saturn. I also found a copy of Rockman Zero 2 ($5) in the box for the Game Boy Advance but when I opened it today (about two weeks after I got it) it turned out that A it was missing the instruction book (not really a big deal) and B it had the wrong game! Come on the game it had was Rockman Zero 3.... okay but what am I going to do with this box now, Ill have to keep my eye out for a loose Rockman Zero 2... grrr.

Then just yesterday I found a boxed copy of Rockman Zero ($2.50) which had the right game as well as a copy of Super Mario Advance ($5)  both for the Game Boy Advanced. Lastly I found another copy of I.Q. Remix ($2.50) for the PS2.

Finally someone had asked for a size comparison photo of the Hori Mini N64 controller so here it is next to a standard N64 controller (same color scheme, nice touch don't you think?) as well as a 100 yen coin which is a little smaller than a US quarter.
