Tales of Symphonia is so cute! And fun! Colette gets wings! o.o *goes fanboy Genis-style*

Ysa and Chris called last night! :D I can't wait to see them in September. Just under a month to go! I miss them so much. Recently I realized that they were definitely the instigators in getting people to get together for things other than Gatherings. I miss that. I miss it a lot.

I had a lapse of memory this morning - rather, the lapse occured on Sunday, and just now it's come back to remind me "Yes, Jason, you've confused people in your head again." Fuck. *sigh* Not overly serious, but I would hope that I would keep people in the right slots in my mind. Shuffling them around and giving wrong names/likes/dislikes is NOT good. >,<

I got a backlog of about 20 LJ comments from about a month ago... remember when LJ suddenly got jammed with comments, and they were stuck in virutal Limbo? It appears they've finally walked through mine... and barfed all over my e-mail box XD

(sorry for the imagery...)

Oh wow, JUST got an e-mail that Father Tom has been asked to stay in Denver to address the delegates of the Knights of Columbus prior to the President's address (yes, George Dubya Bush)! Oh wow...

I want a Pocket Bitey (read the newspost)!

And Mario Batali is Missing! XD

Hm. I'm amazed that, considering the fast-paced technologically-advanced world we're living in, the banks and credit companies fall behind in incredibly stupid little piddling things.

I bough Tales of Symphonia on the weekend, and used my Visa for it. Now, I understand that most of the transactions will go through on the following business day, but here we are at the end of the next business day and it's still not listed in my statement. (I'll probably pay it off before it shows up on the statement, anyhow. XD)

I've found that with a lot of places, actually. I guess that Future Shop just waits until they have a certain number of Visa transactions, then makes the call to Visa and passes them all through or something. (At Canadian Tire, the credit card transactions wouldn't go through until the end-of-day, which was processed at around 11pm, depending on sales. This also allowed us to reverse credit card transactions in case there was a return on the same day.)

Maybe the long weekend had something to do with it? They probably had a ton of transactions to pass through this weekend.

Also, why do payments take a business day to process? They take my money immediately (holding process), then pay off Visa tomorrow. (Probably the same thing - Visa's phone lines must light up all night...)

And yet, my debit card is totally up-to-date. Probably because that's "real" money.

OMGOMG Peasant's Quest is up! :D :D I'll be playing... er no, I gotta get to bed. But at least there's a "save" function! :D
