Had another wacky dream last night, something beside the sea, with an oddly shaped boat.
Main character - a nice sweet girl who reminds me a bit of the main female character in Howl's Moving Castle (before she got cursed) head off down the beach and she and a young guy wjo's with her meet a sea captain and they start planning a quest to go explore the Sun, which looks like a giant lantern.
The sea captain was on a previous quest seeking the same thing but that quest failed. The oddly shaped boat was one of the lifeboats from that mission and it's owner another of the old crew and he thinks it's a sign that he should try again. Mind you, the strangely-shaped boat is apparently named the "Gravy Boat". o.O
The girl goes to her room in the motel and locks up the door which has a whole stack of locks on it, and for some reason an electrical fusebox too. For some reason I keep getting vague shades of the epilogue of twigcollins' FF8 fic Grasshopper and the girl is some sort of witch or such who once had to leave home because people in her hometown distrusted her.


But, onto waking matters.

I'm just sitting and waiting for Mum's eye appointment to come up because I want to go see if EzeDVD has my copy of AC yet.

Also, when we stopped in the magazine isle in the supermarket today I took a look in the Playstation 2 magazine at the article about the PS3. Turns out it is backwards compatible to PS1 so I think I now want to get one of those instead. Thing is however, it won't be released until November and it's probably going to be expensive. I guess I'll have to save up for it then! (When I actually have money to be able to save!)

Here in America the PS3 is rumored to cost about $400 when it comes out... Not sure what that'll translate to for your currency? :/ And what with the PS2 being backwards compatible for PS1, I figured the PS3 would be, but it's nice to have confirmation :D

On the current exchange rate 400.00 USD = 521.912 AUD. That's not too bad considering Mum made a comment about it maybe costing something like $700.

Maybe I'll get a job before then but either way, I'll have to save up for it because even with a job I probably won't have a lot of spare money - what with having to handle health insurance and probably having to keep the car on the road too (Mum and I were talking this over today).

eep. I hope it doesn't cost something like $700. I dunno, when the PS2 first came out it was $300, so that's why I'm hoping the PS3 isn't too much higher than that :/ I'd love to get it come November, but I doubt I'd be able to. I'd mostly have to do what you'll do--save up for it. I may even end up waiting til it's been out a few years, and the price goes down. Good luck on getting it though :D
