Job = Necessity.

I need a job asap, what can I say, I'm a material girl.
Recent purchases;

and the original Jade Cocoon game (from Ebay (read previous post)).

I need to finish writing a script for a short film, I really do,
it'd be preferable to film it in the next two weeks, fucking holidaze.

Out.

Nostalgiac


So there I was trying to get to sleep last night a little tipsy from some red red wine with the Cowboy Bebop Movie playing and I suddenly remembered this Playstation game I loved years ago, Jade Cocoon was the name and I vaguely remember what it was about but I just remember it being really good!
The characters were designed by a guy who did some stuff for Hayao Miyazaki's films.


Since the PS game there has been a sequel which I know nothing about for PS2, I'm considering buying the sequel for 25 bucks from ebay and hopefully I can find the disc for the first one around the place.



I have such an urge to play it right now!

We also watched a really good film called Tekkonkinkreet;




It was crazy cool.
I still really want to play Jade Cocoon, I'm going to go and look for it now.
That's all for now!
