dmxratedI found out yesterday morning that Aunt Marie and Uncle Ray don't have their Playstation2 anymore. Aunt Marie said it broke, and if I wanted to play Dark Cloud (which I brought from home), I'd have to ask Cousin David if he has his and wouldn't mind lending it to me.
Yesterday, I found this Opus comic where Steve is yelling at Auggie for breaking a lamp and demands that he fix it, and Auggie is responding like George Bush, saying things like "We'll stand down when they stand up" and "No timetables." Steve sends him into the kitchen to sit down on a stool, and he's eating cookies out of a bag. On that last panel, Opus is sitting at a small table with several stuffed animals and says "I think we're 'The Baker Commission." He and the animals are wearng chef's hats and holding a rolling pin and a wooden spoon.
I showed it to the adults, and Dad said he already saw it, since it was in the room where he and Mom are sleeping in while we're here. I asked Grandma why that's the only one she has even since the last time she sent us some Opuses. She told us that Uncle Ray threw the alst one out by mistake. When I asked Grandma about this one later on, she explained that it all mirrors the War in Iraq and Bush's refusal to end the war.
Grandma, Aunt Marie, Uncle Ray, and David had some presents for us under their Christmas tree, which they told us about. All of us went into Aunt Marie's dining room, and I got a bag containing a teddy bear and the entire DVD collection of Excel Saga. We all got some stuff, but Grandma got a plastic pack containing five sugar mouse lollypops. I tried eating one, but only ate the head off. The whole thing is nothing but hardened sugar, so I just threw the rest of it away. Aunt Marie got two boxes of chocolate toffees, which range from white chocolate to dark chocolate. I ate a few of them.
Later on, we went to this museum with all kinds of boats and sailing equipment (guns, decoy ducks, etc). I looked at a few things, but most of the time, thoughts of my first Mon Colle Knights fanfic became highly active (which, in fact, were inspired from our visit there). Since the fanfic in question revolves around a war between the Evil Realm and the rest of Mon World, the idea of the Knights attacking enemy naval fleets would be cool. At first thought, one might think that Mondo (and Rockna) could summon Pegasus, ride him over the oceans, and simply set sails on fire even with Mondo's most basic magic spells like there's no tommorow. (Fire will be Mondo's respective element, just to let you know.) However, looking closer at it, this isn't the most practical strategy. First of all, all living creatures will eventually become tired while airborne, and will need someplace to land; a ship or island will be in question should they stray too far from land. If it's the former, they will need assistance while battling against all occupants of that ship. Second, any ship could be carrying prisoners, and it would be a shame if they died if they could be liberated. Finally, there might already be ally ships fighting against the enemy, and to sink those ships would be a mistake. However, do take into account that the enemies in question are called necro-demons for a reason: it's because they bring the dead to life, which can have grave consequences if they are given a chance. Recklessly sinking ships might be a good idea if there are way too many of them to search first.
As for their design, I'm not sure whether they'll be modeled after Viking or pirate ships. Certainly, they have using machine guns, since Mon World is not as technologically advanced as we are, but they might have cast-iron cannons which serve mainly to sink ships rather than to attack individuals.
When we got home, I played Super Buster Bros. in Aunt Marie's room. I played the Panic Mode first, and lost, and then played the Easy Mode of Tour Mode, and beat the whole game (with seven continues remaining).
David brought his girlfriend Sally over to eat dinner with us. For dinner, we all had chicken curry, which thankfully, had all the condiments in separate dishes rather than already mixed with the chicken. All I sprinkled over my curry was some bacon bits. Since we went to a naval museum, I told everyone about that The Far Side comic where someone walks down the plank in style, and the captain pulls his ear and says "Whoa, whoa, whoa! You walk the plank like everyone else." Minutes later, I asked David about AIM, addressing to him that he once installed it on one of the PCs, but it got deleted. Aunt Marie said that she simply put it in the recycle bin, since no one uses it, but Brian said he'll try to reinstall it.
For dessert, we had some chocolate cake, two flavors of ice cream (mint chocolate chip and butternut pecan), and something comprised of three respective layers of whipped cream, pineapple chunks, and cranberries from top to bottom. I had some cake and mint ice cream, before almost going to bed. Brian woke me up, though, to ask me if I would like to watch The Muppet Show with everyone else. I joined them, but Dad and Grandma were out shopping at Home Depot. We watched two episodes, but between the two, I asked everyone if they wanted to watch an episode of Excel Saga. They all declined and continued watching the muppets before going to bed.
