Status & Notes: 

Is there anything worse than losing one of your rare cards in Triple Triad after you haven't saved in a while... you know you are stuck between a rock and a hard place... You can either reload and lose all your work, or continue on, leaving your fates up to the gods of the Random Number Generator hoping that eventually theyll play the card again so you can get it back... ugh...

Heh, so I've decided what direction I'm going to play the game in this time. It goes along with my basically getting super powered as early as possible. Was reading up on a walkthrough and discovered something I didn't know... sounds kinda fun. Probably will take me another 1-2 days of playing to pull it off, but that's fine. I don't want to spoil it yet, but I think it will be pretty obvious once it's done.

So, today will be finishing up a couple of things in Balamb town... and then... preparations... let's see how it goes...
