My head feels like it's filled with water. I'm having balance issues.
I'm still recovering from a cold + sinusitis and still feel a bit light headed today.
I'm thinking about so many things at work, what with trying to clear everything up and make sure all existing issues are seen through before I go on leave next month.
Then comes the home factor - where I'm still trying to compile lists of everything and anything I should remember, such as what to pack, what I need to pack and what I need for the duration of the holiday but haven't bought yet.

I've got a headache from dealing with the idiots from the union who are turning out to be total see-you-next-Tuesdays and are going to busy myself with a large project in hopes that the last 2 1/2 hours go by as quickly as possible.

In other news, I've already pre-ordered myself a copy of Phantasy Star Ø, which will be the most awesome way to spend Christmas, though I don't see myself being able to have any time off, considering I'll be using it all on my holiday. The game is also to be released in Europe which would make it, eventually, available through stores like GameTraders, but I'm not content to risk missing out on a copy by chance, so I'm bypassing the stores. Considering the game, including shipping, has cost me only about $50 AUD, as opposed to the 70 or so that GT would charge us, leads me to keep using these guys time and again.
Also, XSEED appears to finally have revealed a tentative release for the US translation of RAGNARÖK Online™ DS, which is awesome.
I won't be pre-ordering it just yet, as I have other priorities, plus I won't pre-order it until about a month before release, just to make sure they don't push the date forward three months, as was with PSØ.
While they're bringing *good* games over to the English-speaking markets, why don't Square Enix translate 'Sigma Harmonics'?
It looks great, along the lines of Time Hollow, but with a 3D world-map setup, a la PSØ and Harry Potter, as well as the animation-style character portraits. The game plays turning the DS Sideways like a book which takes some getting used to. I find that refreshing.
I'm also ignoring the one bad review I've seen. Sadly though, it appears to lack any animated cut-scenes, like Time Hollow, but that's life. They can't all be made of awesome!

Currently (or rather; once more) obsessed with Patricia Brigg's Mercy Thompson series. I'm been reading the second book which, at first, I thought I wasn't going to enjoy as much since it centers around the vampire seethe. My being a bit full of vampires right now, meant I didn't particularly want a book just centering on them. Yet Patricia, thankfully included the fae as well as Adam's wolves, so we're fine. I've been reading it so avidly, that I'm nearly at the end and needing to buy "Iron Kissed" (third novel), before my trip as I intend on having a good book to read on the plane. Something which will actually keep me distracted in the boring parts, especially the three and four hour stopovers at Abu Dhabi and Frankfürt, respectively. It's going to be the pits, since I despise Frankfürt airport, but hey, before I know it, I'll be in Dza Muzzaland.

The anxiety is kicking in, but I can't thank Gran enough for starting to supervise and organize our luggage packing. I mostly just need to worry about compiling all the set of toiletries I do not intend to do without, as well as the basic personal effects I can't do without, which will include a sketchbook, pencils, two kinds of eraser. Reference material - I am *not* lagging that damned folder overseas, so whatever art I've got on the laptop will have to do.
Or... **laugh**
If I compile a few choice items I want to work on, but I'm sure I'll find an artbook, (or two), during my holiday and as I said - I have other things to amuse myself with.

Omg... A month and a half without any work or study. This is a first since 2003 pre-TAFE course. "Like, whoooa!"
