Ticked: Went to the post office to ship some packages. Selected delivery confirmation and bought the stamps only to find there weren't any confirmation stickers in the post office. So I paid $1.60 for tracking nothing. Lesson learned: Don't use the stickers or take a whole bunch when they have them and carry them around.

Ticked(again) and freaked out: Was working and saw something out of the corner of my eye and turned and it was a spider about the size of my thumb nail descending on some webbing from the ceiling about a foot from my head. Damn Oklahoma. Its time to bring out the industrial strength poison.

Thumbnail sized? Bah, it wasn't going to hurt you. I'm sure it was more scared of you. :P

Ok. On Phantasy Star 2 I got all the way up to Dezo and was visiting the towns there. Today when plugged in my cartridge, all my saved info was gone.

I am so upset.

Wow, tough break. That is why it is always a good idea to replace the battery in old RPG cartridges before playing. Anyway, I am really sorry to hear about that; it reminds me of when my memory card got corrupted halfway through Final Fantasy VII. :(

That's only happened to me once, when my Zelda cart erased my data. I was on the 6th dungeon too.
