I went up to school yesterday for Carl's birthday extravaganza. I baked cupcakes inside of ice cream cones and they were a big hit. I had almost forgotten about those- I dont think I've made them since high school (Frigot's poetry reading, perhaps?) My iciing was amazing yesterday too- sometimes it comes out absolutely perfect... and it did yesterday! So yay.
I also bought a pinata for the occassion- which was basically hilarious and fun. I enjoyed stuffing it, and I similarly enjoyed people trying to break it with no avail (we couldn't hang it, so we had to use other methods). Finally- Jon held it up and Brian punched it in half. Candy went everywhere and happiness ensued. Pinatas are uber fun and inexpensive (under 20 dollars including Candy and little toys to stuff it with!) and I dont think anyone ever really outgrows them. Im sure people could come up with some creative, themed things to stuff them with besides candy, as well... hmmm!! Hehe. We went out to dinner to famous dave's and treated carl. I'd never been there before- it was decent. Seemed a bit overpriced, but the food was alright.
Jamie let me play his PSP for about an hour yesterday so that I could experience Crisis Core, and I am hooked. I had read some negative things about the battle system- but I actually really liked it, particularly the roulette typed thing that influences the battle field. Just as soon as I thought I'd gotten over my desire for a hand held... now I want a PSP again. Urgh. When I get paid again, I might just break down. It WOULD be nice to have it for travel... but I really shouldn't be spending the money. It is a quandary.
Otherwise, life is good- tomorrow will be a long day, but an excellent one. I will probably proctor the MSA tomorrow in an elementary school, and then I will go meet Melissa for lunch, and Beej and Frigot for dinner. Awesome? Yes, I think so ;)
PS- I have over 100 trophies in BRAWL now! And slowly but surely I'm unlocking everything else... I am highly enjoying playing online as well :)
