The fanthom of Towers

It's August already. Meh, can't really say much about that. Summer is progressing slowly as usual. I got myself a job and started about 2 weeks ago. It's the same job i've always had. People are telling me get a different job, but I really don't care much. It's the same thing I used to do, I'm quite used to it, plus it's quite amazing to see people get like stressed and angry over this job and I'm just calm and laughing at it cause I just don't seem to care much at all. It's about half my waking day working, but i'm fine with that cause it helps me get some form of funding that I need.

A few days before I started working, I picked up Ar Tonelico II: Melody of Metafalica.

It's an anime styled game released back in 2008. It's a game that's like half rpg and half visual novel. I really liked it. It's basically about this guy who runs around and saves the world. Wait...that sounds just like a generic rpg game. oh well....So much for a review. Okay, well anyways, I thought the background story was kinda nice. It's about this tower called Ar Tonelico and everyone lives in floating land masses high above the clouds and these land masses are somewhat connected to Ar Tonelico. The clouds are known as the sea of Death cause well, if you go in, you kinda die. There's these special humans called reyvateils that helps maintain Ar Tonelico. Since they maintain it, they are able to sing songs and use magic from the magic server thats' inside Ar Tonelico. And by that i meant instead of casting for magic, they sing to use it. Also for some weird reason, the Y chromosome prevents the reyvateil gene so sadly, guys cannot use magic. And the story's about this guy who becomes like the protector of a reyvateil and they journey the world in search for paradise.

So I go onto xkcd once more in like a long time(dam you crappy internet service provider!) and came across this one strip: Photobucket
Tell me which college this doesn't apply to. I hate it when you go to your college site but take forever to navigate to the said place you want to go to.

Anyways, that's pretty much all of it for today. See you guys some other time. Until my next internet connection.
