wow, that was a luck rollercoaster 
It's almost as if Lady Luck was really mocking you with this xD She sure can be a bitch sometimes n_nUU

Right now I'm playing my Ocarina of Time 3DS, and it's making me nostalgic of how the Zelda fandom used to be before the Gamecube was announced. I decided to visit some old zelda fansites that were my favorite places in the internet back then, but most of them no longer exist, of course...
Using the Wayback Machine I visited some of the ones I could remember their urls, checking their news archives I discovered about a marketing campaign that nintendo used to promote Majora's Mask in 2000, and it kinda remainded me of the whole Chronopolis ARG thing I posted some time ago. Sadly, I don't recall this campaign except for the TV-ad (which I thought at the time it was just a weird ad, as all nintendo TV ads are).
The campaign was about a fake website called Z-Science that was supposed to be a division of a scientific research institution called JRAMOA (Joint Research of Alternate Mondial Ocurrences and Astralplanology, actually an anagram for MAJORA), who were researching parallel dimensions.
They claimed that our dimension is able to keep stable thanks to it's relation with other dimensions and that they discovered a parallel dimension in which the moon was about to crash on earth, for our relation with that dimension, our earth would soon suffer the same fate. They then said that "The One", a person with a unique genetic make-up, could save their world (and ours) and the Z-science website aimed to find this "One". They even let you take an online test to see if you were "The One". And aparently later, they released another website: Radio Zelda, a news website that followed "The One"'s progress as a news radio station (with a "days remaining" countdown and everything).
I love this kind of stuff, I'd have loved to keep track of it back in 2000. I don't think it gave the results Nintendo wanted, anyway (I'm pretty sure they were trying to appeal to an older audience with this), but it was an interesting idea, and yet it seems to be completely forgotten by the zelda fandom. Why there aren't fanfictions about this? xD

Before going I tossed a coin to decide whether to take a bus homewards or go to the distributor (which was waaaaaaayyyy far away) to get my tablet fixed. Subsequently I lost my coin in the most sudden and embarrassing circumstances, not knowing whether it was heads or tails, which confirmed one thing: Indeed, Fate just wants to play with me for some reason.

Stomachache... apparently something I ate disagreed with me or something. I felt just a little sick this morning, but now it's getting painful. I'm waiting for the medicine to calm down the pain a little, urgh 
...also, this made me remember that people enjoy the "morning sickness/OMG you're pregnant!" joke a little too much for my liking

Actually, I was annoyed when I scored 19 in my first try because other designer friends were scoring from 4 to 0 xD, i guess I just needed some sleep. Though with today's technology, color recognition is not as crucial, I have a friend who is daltonic and she's an awesome designer and photographer.

Today I discovered an old friend is no longer living in the country, sigh. She moved abroad just some weeks ago. I was missing my old friends, and I wanted to contact her and see if we could meet up. Now i feel bad for not keeping more in contact =/
