The Wii U launch event weekend was a lot of fun! It started out pretty rocky, though. When I arrived in NYC, I thought I'd just take a bus and ride the subways from the airport to Times Square.

Over the weekend I've been trying to take care of little home improvement projects. I spent most of Saturday trying to pick up some curtains or other sorts of window treatments. It took much longer than it should've since my ( Read more... )

Oh yeah, I forgot! I also had to book a hotel for my folks and myself. My folks were planning to head down to Texas to scope out houses in February, and I wanted to tag along this time to FINALLY see the Japanese garden they always talk about. Every time. They always say, "Oh, wish you could have seen it!" and when I asked to go, they always said " ( Read more... )
