Running, jumping, climbing, and drowning

So I'm taking a brief break from my long morning of playing Assassin's Creed to complain about the water. Evidently it's highly toxic, but only if you fall into it from great heights. At first I thought it was just the rivers and canals and such that are to be avoided, but I jumped off a rooftop, aiming for the ivy-covered safety of a garden trellis, but as I am not good with judging distances, I fell short and hard, into a fountain. And drowned.

In a fountain.

A six-inch deep fountain.

I am going to attribute this simply to a glitch in the game and go back to my stupid canal jumping, chasing after those stupid flags. And yes, I'm having a horrible time of it.

But I still love it.

On Dying My Hair

So last night I colored my hair. It was a temporary dye, but I assumed it would last longer than it did. The box declared "washes out in 8-10 shampoos," so I assumed that I would still have full color for at least one or two shampooings. Nope. Turns out this morning, when I got out of the shower, I only had three quarters of the color that I had when I went to bed the night before. Thankfully it didn't look too horrible... or at least I thought it didn't.

Then, when I was sitting in class this morning, Shannon leaned over and asked, "Why is your hair lavender grey?"

I was shocked, and after class promptly went to Walmart and got the permanent version. It's sitting in my hair now, all blue and purple. Hopefully it won't be a complete disaster.

Down! I need a Phoenix Down!

So the four of us are traveling down this tunnel, four hundred or so feet underground, trying to kill off all the mimics before they suck the power out of the wiring and knock out the lights. Supposedly, if the lights go out, creatures much worse than mimics show up.
I soon find out that the lights do not have to go completely out for those nasties to show up. No, the power only has to drop to about 40 %. Then zombies and undead skeletal warriors and all sorts of beasties come popping up out of the dust to greet us. We die. Repeatedly. 
And, to make matters worse, due to my own ignorance in flying through the introduction screens and not really paying attention to how the party system works, I completely ignored my ability to use a very crucial skill. As such, I went through some extreme potion mismanagement and was almost stuck.
Then I got help. ^.^
And now I'm just facing a boss I can come two swords hits from defeating. Oh well. There's always tomorrow.
