The Holidays Are Here

Hey everybody, this is Jbizzo49.

You know, it's been 4 days since my last post and I STILL haven't recorded anything, been watching some YouTube videos and such.  I also worked today.  For those that don't know (which would be approximately 99.9% of you reading this post the first time) I work on-campus athletics event staff, and that basically means I go to various athletic events and do various things to help the events run smoothly.  I like it because part of my job is actually watching the game, and that's an especially good thing if your team is winning.  Clean-up kinda sucks, but they do have people come in specifically to do that so it's not just the core 8 having different positions on clean-up, by the end of the game and we get ready to do that we have about a dozen people trying to work as quickly and efficiently as possible.

So as I'm writing this the Maaco Bowl is going on and Boise State is trouncing Arizona State as they should, they're the #7 team in the country.  How messed up is this?  Boise State is #7 in the final BCS Standings this year and they're playing their bowl game before Christmas, that's a tragedy.

My friend PrometheusMFD is back in town and will be for about another week and a half.  If you're unaware we've actually known each other since high school.  But anyway, we are plotting a recording of "Jbizzo49 1000 Video Special Spectaularmathonamajigthing" featuring PrometheusMFD.  We've been throwing a few ideas around, but I have a feeling I won't be able to contact him until at least Christmas, so, without spoiling it, I think I may have decided just what we're going to do.

Well, I'll probably record something tomorrow.  I've gotten to the point in my Super Luigi Galaxy playthrough where I need to actually grind for Star Bits offscreen. (Grinding in a platformer?  Are you sure we're playing the right game here?)  I ended Part 25 with 683 Star Bits, if I recall correctly.  I'll probably be starting Part 26 with at least 2500 Star Bits.  The reason I'm doing it like this is I wanna save the Trial Galaxies as the last thing I do before I take on Bowser for the 3rd time just because I think that's a cool way to do it.  Go through the trials before the final battle.  Not that it affects the plot, it's just good presentation, I guess.  Well, in order for me to do the Trial Galaxies last, I have 2 Hungry Lumas to feed to do these other offshoot galaxies: one wants 1200, the other wants 1600, for a total of 2800 Star Bits I would need.  The reason I set my goal at 2500 is because I still have 4 Stars on Melty Molten Galaxy, and 1 more on that last "?" block Galaxy to build up the remaining 300, and at that point, Star Bits become a non-issue.  I could just build up the Star Bits by fighting Bowser the 3rd time, doing some of the Purple Coin stuff, then going to the Hungry Lumas, but I think that kind of breaks the flow of the Purple Coin stuff, plus I wanna do the Purple Coin stuff all in a row.

So those are the main things that have been going on in the last few days.  Christmas Day is Sunday, y'all.  And you know, I don't have to go anywhere Christmas Day, which is crazy.  I have someone in my family coming home for a couple weeks off of his umpteenth tour on Afghanistan, but he doesn't get here until the 27th, so we decided to hold off on gatherings until after he gets here (I think we have formally decided on January 3rd, but I'm not 100% sure)

Anyways, this has been going on long enough.  But that's what happens, I get on one subject and don't shut up about it.

Have a safe holiday, everyone.
