Okami finally got here today!   I am in a hundred different kinds of love with this video game. :-)

First of all it's made by the same folks who did "The Legend Of Zelda: Windwaker", which is one of my favorite adventure platform games. This one is even neater than that.  I'm the Japanese god Amaterasu diguised as a white wolf and I'm running around restoring life to the land with the power of...get this...ART. Holy crap was there ever a game more suited for me? I think not.

And!  It's SO PRETTY.  And the wolf is adorable and behaves in many ways like my Kiba...she even looks like him and sort of whuffles and snorts like him and runs like him...it's just TOO MUCH.     

I've been playing for hours and apparently I've only just started.  Just finished the part with the Konohana Shuffle which only stumped me for about 15 minutes (but it was so frustrating!!)...fortunately I'd been warned about that part.  Still though...!  Grr!  But OMG I love this game to little bits.  Anyone who loves wolves, art, and Japanese culture MUST get this game.  It's a hoot.

And I am SO making an Amaterasu mask.  :-)  Oh yes.  *nodnod*

My own "wolf pup" Kiba (heh...okay so he's a husky...but you know that I love his wolfy looks) and I have been going for long walks on Grand Island lately.  Because of my health problems I haven't been able to go for my long bike rides, which sucks but 15 to 20 miles on a bike just hurts too much right now *pout*.  Still, we have a big park with a lovely sandy beach on Grand Island and now that summer's over the place is pretty much deserted, so Keebs and I have been hitting it pretty regularly.  He LOVES the beach.  He runs wild around me in big circles and scares all the gulls and snuffles sand up his nose and generally has a wonderful time.   Even if I can't ride my bike, it lifts my mood to see him pelting across the sand like a wild thing.  

It's just as well that I can't ride right now...the trails are dangerous.   There's a serial rapist/murderer who's been stalking the bike paths that I love (and use regularly) for the last ten years or so...and he seems to be on an upswing again.  He killed some poor woman just last weekend on one of the trails, and it's just another good reason for me to keep the Kibinator close by for now.  Scary stuff.
