Galbadia Hotel = More Video Game Music/Art Than You Can Handle!
Via Kotaku, I discovered what seems to be the biggest stash of nerd-centric video game paraphernalia this side of the Pacific! Galbadia Hotel has it all: MP3s, MIDI, Sheet Music, Artbooks, even freaking commercials! And some are really old and cool! I was going to go somewhere for Spring Break, but it appears I’ll be plastered to my computer downloading MP3s and whatnot. I always wanted to know how to play “Suteki da Ne” on the piano…
If you don’t believe me that they have everything: They have the freakin’ Ducktales (NES) Original Soundtrack! Don’t tell me you weren’t looking for that!
Now, if I had to guess the legality of this awesome site, I’d have to say it’s entirely illegal! But I’m not hosting this crap, they are! So for now, enjoy the wonders of Galbadia Hotel and all they offer. You can check out anytime you like, but you can never leave! Nor will you ever want to.

YAFFPP: Final Fantasy XII Potion Available at Jlist.com!
Yeah, it’s yet another Final Fantasy XII Potion Post. This should be almost the last one, I promise! Anyway, News on the street is that everyone’s favorite online wacky Japanese item store, Jlist.com has Final Fantasy XII Potions in stock! Now, the price for the limited edition version is kinda high at $24.50, but the normal version is “only” $4.50. Yes, I know that’s still freaking expensive for a 120mL drink, but it’s Final Fantasy!!!
I think I may buy a few, depending on whether or not anyone wants to split shipping with my (my cousin will probably want a couple). Shipping is $4.80 for one bottle, and it gets better (per bottle) if you buy in bulk. Final Fantasy XII Potion, getto!

I’m Back from the Mountain West Basketball Tournament!
Due to unforeseen circumstances (our teams losing), the band has returned a bit earlier than expected. Overall, the basketball tournament was fairly disappointing, if only because of our high expectations for our teams. Everyone expected the women to advance through at least the first round, so when they didn’t, it was really a shock! On the upside, I found myself in one of the basketball action pictures! Sure, I’m small and blurry, but I won’t complain!
The picture also features #5 Abbie Letz, my favorite basketball player ever! Cool, huh? And before you point out that I wasn’t paying attention to the game, I totally was! I think someone must have been talking to me or something.
Anyhow, I still have confidence that our women’s team will be making an NCAA appearance (knock on wood), so this is by no means the end of the season. Let’s go Letz, and Go Lobos!

Spring Break: Mountain West Conference!
Hey dudes. Just a little info for all who are interested. I’m going to be out of town from Wednesday to (probably) Saturday for the Mountain West Conference Basketball Tournament. No, I’m not playing basketball, I’m in the band. This means I’ll probably be too busy having fun to post stuff. So yeah, I’m not dead. At least, I don’t think I’m dead…

Where the Nerdy Girls Are
If you’re a nerd (like me) and you’re looking for a nerdy girl (like me (me not being a nerdy girl, but one who is looking for a nerdy girl, just thought I’d clarify)), Wired has a little article on “The Anatomy of a Nerd.” Unforunately for those of us stateside, it’s about Onna Otaku (Girl Nerds) in Japan.
Apparently, you can find them on “Otome Road in trendy Ikebukuro.” I’ll have to remember that.
Now, the model they use for a typical Onna Otaku is pretty hawt. In fact, I’d say they just used a regular model and dressed her up all geek chic:
Y’know, it’s probably like those cool geeks you see in Taco Bell commercials. There aren’t geeks that are as trendy as that! Certainly not ones that eat at Taco Bell! I mean, as far as geeks go, I’m as cool as they get…
