 This week was pretty good.  I had a coworker pull me to the side yesterday, and tell me that I had a beautiful voice, and that I seem to be more outgoing lately.  She said that it seemed like I had a lot to say about different things, and I seemed to know what I was talking about.  She also mentioned that I should think about doing some sort of podcasting or something where I talk about things that interest me in a broadcasting type form.  I was really surprised when she told me that.  Truth be told I have felt myself going through some personal growth, and a bit of a transformation lately.  Maybe it's because I'm getting older, and I'm not too certain, but it was good to hear somebody say something good about me.  It's something that has crossed my mind lately actually.

That being said I've been trying to steer clear of negativity, and negative people lately.  So yeah I guess I am going through a sort of transformation.  

I think what's been helping me is listening to different podcast that are very positive, helpful in giving me a different perspective on things. I believe you can learn a lot from people by listening to their experiences, and what they have to say.  

As for music stuff I bought the new Kittie documentary, and it was really interesting.  I think it's unfortunate what they had to put up with in the music industry because they were female musicians.  It was a band I was really into in high school, and it was really insightful to see all the hardships they went through as a band throughout the years.   

On to fandom things so I can fangirl about this.  Sega announced they're re-releasing an HD version of Shenmue 1, and 2 for the PS4, XB1, and PC!  They also announced a bunch of classic Sega titles coming to the Nintendo Switch.  They also mentioned as possibly porting over some Dreamcast, and Sega Saturn games to the Switch!  I'm super hype about this.  I almost bought a Sega Saturn back in the day, but ended up getting a Playstation.  I feel like there are a ton of the Saturn, and Dreamcast titles I missed out on.  I had a Sega Genesis as a kid so this is a total win for me.  I feel like there were a ton of Sega titles in general that I missed out on in the past.  So this is really awesome news.

     My, and I went to the bookstore yesterday, and I found a couple of finds.  I got KMFDM's "Nihil" and a used PC copy of Mass Effect 2 with a working serial number for about $10, and an XB1 controller to use on my PC. 

     I mentioned to my mom about how stand-offish I realized everyone is now-a-days.  Especially younger people close to my age.  I walked in the CD/LP section, and this guy had earbuds in.  I mean I get wanted to be alone or whatever, but I hate how no one talks to anybody anymore.  I say this as someone with social anxiety because I'm realizing that it's a societal issue.  If no one communicates with anyone how will people be able to find common ground?  It's just something that's been bugging me lately.  That's why I mentioned it.  I've also heard people who come to Texas for the first time mention how "nice" everyone is here.  I don't see it myself, but maybe where they're from people are worse?  Honestly I think that's horrible, and people need to be more open to each other.

That aside I had a good shopping trip with my mom, and it was an overall peaceful day.  

On a side note I think I have a crush on this guy at work.  He just started working there about a few weeks ago.  He's really nice, and he smiled at me once.  That's what started it really...lmao.  He's really cute, and he doesn't seem jaded, and angry like most of the other people at my job.  He's got a whole different vibe about him, and I think it's great.  Hopefully I'll be able to work up the nerve to talk to him. :/

Right now I'm testing the desktop computer in our living room to see if I could get it to run Mass Effect 2 on it.  I was able to get it to run on my labtop, but it had some issues so I figured it would be better to test it on the other computer since it has a better graphics card installed. We'll see how it goes since I'm installing it as we speak.   It seems that I couldn't get the game to run probably on our other computer, and doing a few quick searches I found out that a lot of people were having trouble running that game.  Either way I'm taking it back, and getting a refund.

 Yesterday was a huge bummer.  I think I caught a virus from someone at work yesterday, and I ended up feeling really sick.  I did do my 8 hour shift at work, but I went home around 2:30 pm so I could recover at home.  I came home, and took some stomach medicine, and took a much needed nap.  After that I woke up and tried to game a bit, but I didn't really have the strength to play video games for long.  I ended up falling asleep early after eating dinner.  

I'm feeling much better today thankfully.  My stomach still feels weird so I've tried not to eat anything heavy today.  I really want ice cream, and some cheese cake my mom made last night, but my stomach says no.  

Today I played Final Fantasy XV for most of the day, and ended up getting relatively far along in the game.  Noctis and crew have really grown on me so far, especially Prompto.  His carefree, happy attitude is very enduring.  Also Ignis is hilarious with his whole "Ha!  I've found a new recipe!"  proclamation in the most random of places in the game...lol.  

That aside I've also been playing Dragon Quest: Heroes (for the PS4), and Devil May Cry on the PS2.  Both games are really enjoyable.  I'd been meaning to check out the Devil May Cry series for years, but never gotten around to it until recently.  I also bought a copy of Chrono Cross for the PS1.  I've been getting into lots of rpg games lately.  I've been enjoying those type of games way more than fps games lately.  I've always been fond of games with a good plot, and an interesting story.  

Well I'm going to go try to feel better.  Later.
