[Blog #212] --- Neutral --- [Sunday] - Final Fantasy & Fairy Cakes

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------


-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------



Mam and dad went to the Redcar Races today, so I was staying at nana's for most of the day.
From around 11 till about 6.

I ate lunch with them, then sat with nana and watched TV for a while. Grandad was then watching the football, so nana and I were listening to 8 Out Of 10 Cats podcasts on my iPod.
Lisa can provide endless hours of entertainment. :)

We baked cakes together for tea - I asked if we could make butterfly cakes, so we weighed everything out, mixed it together and baked it - nana and I took turns at whisking, I mixed up the eggs and she spooned it out into the baking trays.
Then I sprinkled some chocolate chips on the top afterwards and nana let me eat the ones that were left - and I licked the bowl .:D

Making cakes from scratch is proper mint - they always turn out pretty well.
Nana made sausage rolls as well.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

After this, we went into the front bedroom - nana started work on a new jigsaw - a rather strange one, as it's circular, as opposed to the traditional square or rectangle ones. The pieces are a weird shape too.
This one follows the old time sort of theme, it's an Edwardian chimney-sweep walking along a street.

I set up my Playstation and I had a quick go of Harvest Moon: Back To Nature, finished off a few days in Summer - there's only about one or two left until it's Autumn.
Oddly though, I quickly tired of it, so I switched to Final Fantasy VII instead.

The only two characters left to get up to level 99 now are Vincent and Red XIII - the two who I use the least.

In order, it probably goes (ignoring Cloud, as he HAS to be there... And ignoring Aeris, because she'd dead...) - Cait Sith, Tifa, Yuffie, Cid, Barret, Red XIII, Vincent.

I can't stand Vincent, he's so fucking useless.
The only reason he got like the leading role in Dirge Of Cerberus is because he's emo-looking, and that makes all the fangirls orgasm.

Tea was pretty epic as always - nana made ham and cheese sarnies - and we ate the sausage rolls and butterfly cakes we'd made. And of course - there was the almighty Polony sausage. It's so fucking legend - I usually end up eating practically the whole thing. :)

Mam and dad came for me at about 6 - and mam had bought me a tube of gormet jelly beans.
Sigh, I don't like the shitty English rip-offs half as much as I like the American imports.
There's a major difference in price like.

Back at home, I got the idea to make an AMV-style video - using clips from Final Fantasy VII's battles and cutscenes. I planned to put them together with Precious Jerusalem by Blind Guardian.
But of course - there has to be a fuck-up involved.
I ripped all the videos I wanted from YouTube - downloaded the codecs I needed - but when I went to cut sections out from the clips, I lost all the video and all that was left was the sound.

This fucking happened before - so I'm going to have to save them all as .movs or .mp4s and then convert them back to .avis.
Either that, or save them as .wmvs - but that means losing a shitload of the quality.

GAH...
