Proof I'm alive?

So what have I been up to...? I was sick through Monday and left work early on Tuesday, but I'm feeling much better now. Thanks to everyone who wished me well. ♥

There was a department dinner on Thursday, and I sat with the other interns -- and the director. I was quietly thrilled that the Chief People Officer also recognized me... Not every night month I have a five-course meal for free, either.

My Albert muse has been utterly revived by the most kickass Caesar ever. He's kicking me into making Factival a notably different character from him, so I'm revising Fact's dialogue in my RPG Maker XP game, now. I've also bought the last three books in the Suikoden III manga, and I'm unhappy with how Albert's portrayed at the end of everything. Sure, he's got redeeming qualities, but suddenly he's totally reversing his beliefs to help Luc. Whuuuuut?

I'm also not seeing Albert perpetually naked in my brain anymore. Do you know how glorious that fact is? I see him as a character again and not just porn fodder! Yaaaay!!

Also, to the player who caused a stink over Albert in suiko_rpg: I am somehow embarrassed that you are using my icons for your Albert. And I somehow hope you aren't trying to use me as a gauge for how you're playing your character.

I've replayed Radiant Dawn up into Part 3. Part 1 and Part 2 were much easier this time around since I didn't rely on Nailah and the Black Knight in that final battle, and I maxed out Micaiah before her promotion. I'm not doing as well with Ike's team as I did the first time through, but that might be because I didn't use Ilyana to freight money and supplies from Micaiah to Ike. Hm.

Oh well. Shinon, Oscar, and Soren still kick ass.

I also lost my save on Etrian Odyssey. I think this is a sign to play more Shining Force.

edit:
Tir: I've appointed Luc to command our magic troops.
Viktor: ...You're serious, Tir?
Luc: *kicks Viktor in the shin* He's serious. Anyone else want to question him?

Since I haven't done one of these in ages...
