Wii. You have eaten my life and I hate you. Oh, you couldn't have done it alone...you had to gang up on me with Twilight Princess. I call no fair. My right arm is killing me and it's your fault.
Thanks a lot,
Me
PS...and now I have a big fat crush on Link. That's just great.
In other news, I finished the CUTEST thing for
smillaraaqtoday. It's in the mail now. I wish I could share (I took pictures...it's that cute), but I want it to be a surprise for Smilla. I'll put it in here later, I suppose.
Also, I'll be in Toledo Ohio next weekend. Any of you on my F-list live in Ohio, or somewhere nearby? I fear I may be doing this event alone too. Woe.
Oh! And! MUCH love for the Buffalo Sabres tonight who won the most exciting game against The Rangers. It was incredible. The score was 1-0 with eight seconds to go, when the Sabres tied it up in the third period. We won in overtime. So now our team is up 3 to 2 in the second round playoffs...thrilling! This city just about went nuts tonight. The HSBC (Hot Sauce Blue Cheese! Local joke...) Arena is totally sold out...so the fans go down there anyway (nearly 10 thousand of them) and hang out in front of the arena where giant video screens broadcast the game that's going on inside. Everyone just wants to be there. It's really touching. This poor sad old industrial city...if the Sabres won the Cup it would be SO awesome for everyone here.
Thanks a lot,

Wii are you doing that?

Actually, I'm jealous because the technology and gameplay are excellent, and I know that buying ANY of those game platforms will INSTANTLY kill my business... plus induce a heart attack while jiggling away at the controls...
In lighter news, Mom and I have successfully removed the seat cushions from our butt cheeks, because last night's game was a "clencher."
go bills (tee hee)

Re: Wii are you doing that?
It's just so much fun! I've always loved the Legend Of Zelda, and now FINALLY it looks as cool as it really is. The graphics are sweet. Still not as pretty or unique as Okami, but pretty damn good.
The motion-sensor thingy is TOO cool, by the way. It detects angle & direction as well as movement, so you can backslash or overhead or whatever, for real. VERY very fun.
But yeah I'm sure I look like a dork doing it. :-)

I'm getting a cute little wii-muscle on my arm! It's so cute!
How's the piercing? You DO know that when you start healing it's going to itch like crazy. :-D
From:

It's good! Woke up the next morning and no soreness. Quite a few of my friends have theirs and the worst they experienced was dryness, but it was from using too strong a soap for cleaning. No itchy chest ahead!

I stayed up playing that game for three days straight since I wanted to finish it before I had to go back to work, and my roommate and I played it simultaneously (we bought two cpies cuz we're weak ;P). But! That was just the GameCube version. I'm bugging Matt everyday to crack open his Wii version so tht I can have a go at frantically whacking things when they surprise me (my usual freakouts might actual have an effect on the game! w00t!).
...and now I want to play it even more so tha I ca stare at Link again. Mmmmm. Liiink...*drrol*

Seriously...Link. What's not to love? He's even kind to dogs and cats in this game. You can pick up puppies and kitties and I don't know why! Just to be cute I guess. And you can throw bones for the doggies to fetch. Why? I don't know! It seems to serve absolutely no purpose except that it's very darn cute.
And then they follow you around, which is so. Damn. Cute.
...
Cute!

I love the different suits he gets in that game. They look so badass on him. I've always been a fan of him in red. :3

By the way, is the event near Toledo Baron Wars, or another event? We're thinking about going to Baron Wars, though we haven't decided for sure yet.
From:
no subject
Yep, I'm going to be at Baron Wars. Never miss it, if I can help it. Fort Meigs is the coolest SCA event site ever...it's the only one I can totally suspend my disbelief at, y'know? Especially at night with all the torches lit. Just plain neat. If you decide to go, stop by for a visit!

They don't show all the Sabres games out here, but they're still the only hockey team I follow, even though Satan went to the Islanders and Hasek went to the Red Wings, but Afinogenov pulling that last game out was so sweet!

Oh, the Sabres ROCKED today. My family is scattered all across the country & yet we all watched together & screamed at eachother over the phone every time they scored. It was a hoot. :-)

(As far as hockey fans and sad industrial cities go, you *have* seen Slap Shot, I presume? If not, it's well worth a rental, and I say this as someone who doesn't usually click with sports movies. It's just that funny.)
From:
no subject
Yah I have seen Slap Shot. :-) That's sort of what life is like here, in a way. Everyone's so crazy about the Sabres right now, though, that even if they lose the next Stanley Cup round they'll still be Buffalo's darlings. This town can be sweet, sometimes. It's a city that feels small town...but in a good way.

And I'm primarily righty with slight ambidextrous leanings, so either barrette orientation would have worked but right's definitely a wee bit easier.
He's lovely, thank you ever so much! I hope your mother enjoys the brooch.
