Today's Notes 2/2/21

Good morning everyone,

Because of work, my schedule this week is adjusted to compensate for the the fact I have to wake up earlier, so I've been up since about 7:30 AM EST. Granted I didn't sleep much last night, hell I went to bed so early I ended up waking up at 6 AM and then forced myself back to sleep. Changing a schedule is never easy, not to mention my preparing for this adjustment was thrown off by the issues with Comcast on Saturday night.Which is why I'm glad I remembered I had some stuff on Audible, as I've been listening to the Blackadder series.... because when that show aired, the BBC also did an radio version of it, and released a collection on audible of the full series. Even though one can't see the physical actions and reactions to what's being performed... the writing for the Blackadder series is so good, it more than makes up for it.

Anyway last night we started up Kingdom Hearts II Final Mix which is apart of the 1.5 + 2.5 Collection that you can get digitally for the Xbox One, granted I posted the Amazon link for the physical versions for the PlayStation 4 (because Amazon doesn't offer the Xbox versions for whatever reason). Anyway, It's been a long time I played the original version of Kingdom Hearts II, but event I was shocked at how much of an prologue there was involving Roxas. I get that it acts as the tutorial and bridge between Re:Chain of Memories where Sora, Donald and Goofy go to sleep and then wake up here in KH2... but I don't remember having it taking so long to get to where were can use Sora. Regardless, we left off after getting to Hallow Bastion and having to defend the gate with Leon (aka Squall) from Final Fantasy VIII against some Dusk and we'll continue Kingdom Hearts II Final Mix on Friday of this week.

Had a pretty damn good Fitness Boxing 2 session this morning, missing only one motions during the first few sets.... then  the double-step (front back steps) popped up in the last one and my timing was a bit off. Anyway we reached the Super Welterweight Puncher Lv. 2 achievement which was to have a total punch count of 70,000 HITs, with my exact total being 70,653 punches performed over the last 53 days. Also since I've been up for a few hours now, also dropped into Animal Crossing New Horizons, found a lost item for Agnes and I'm still pondering what the festival on February 15 is going to be, as there are dance reactions, and a stage one can get from Nook's Cranny. Even managed to get in a little Super Mario Bros 35, had another top 5 finish that ended in the usual way.... with me plummeting to my death because I didn't time a jump correctly. Ah well.

Tonight we'll be doing another stream of the Division 2, as Ieemany, PowerThumbz (twitch.tv/powerthumbz), FnDanteSavages (twitch.tv/fndantesavage) and I will be just goofy around doing levels and stuff to try and get the items associated with the Resident Evil apparel event that is happening. So there will be no real focus, as it's just the four of us being knuckleheads and having a good time. Because this will end up being a triple co-stream, I'll be starting at 9 PM EST to try and keep it even with Thumbz and Dante who are both in the Mountain time-zones.

And on that note, I'm gonna go get ready for work, see ya later over on twitch.tv/fredcasden!
