They kidnap the Princess; Mushroomland needs savin'

[vovat]

I had a dream last night that it was Christmas morning, and I hadn't bought presents for anyone. I then made Beth come with me to a Wal-Mart, which had two floors and a large book department. Maybe I really SHOULD get everyone books for Christmas. I mean, everybody likes books, right? Regardless, I should start Christmas shopping soon, so that dream doesn't come true.

I'm trying to level Mario and Luigi up somewhat before trying Teehee Valley again. You have to travel through there with the Princess, but Gritty Goombas and Spiky Snifits keep trying to kidnap her, and those enemies can do a significant amount of damage. Learning to dodge their attacks is probably the best way to get past them, but having more power and hit points certainly wouldn't hurt.

Hmm, I still have an Amazon gift certificate to spend. I wonder what I should buy with it. Any suggestions?

Finally, here's a personality quiz result.


I think I took something along these lines before, but oh well. This is actually pretty accurate.

Everyone should get everyone books for Christmas. They're the best gifts ever. I have a special shelf that I keep books people have given me on, and I always get really depressed when I'm at a used bookstore and I see a book that says "Happy 10th birthday Jimmy from your Grandma" or something.

No.

Who doesn't?

Are you shopping for anyone in my family? If so, then who would you get books for and what kinds of books?

Not everyone likes to read, and even some of those who do do not read books.

Well, I wasn't being entirely serious anyway. I'll probably end up getting SOME people books for Christmas, but certainly not EVERYBODY.

And yeah, I'm probably going to get presents for some of the people in your family. You'll have to help me come up with ideas.

I recommend Infinite Jest by David Foster Wallace if you haven't that. Or Hard-Boiled Wonderland and the End of the World by Haruki Murakami (translation by Alfred "Batman" Birnbaum). But I always recommend those.
