Holy cow! I paid around $30 for a used copy of Echoes of Time and am I getting my money's worth on it! I was a little disappointed at first that it used the same sprites and gameplay from Rings of Fate, but in its defense, it was easy to pick up because of that. There's a heavy focus on the multi-player aspect that I'll never get to enjoy, but ( Read more... )

In order to put the house on the market, we're working on de-cluttering. I think we were cluttered when we moved from the apartment. No wonder we're getting squeezed out of this small house! Most of my personal clutter is in the kitchen and clothing (such a girl) but the rest of it, like any good geek, is books and media. In a way, I'm looking ( Read more... )

So, after reaching a mutual animosity with the control system on the Wii title "Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles: Crystal Bearers" I finished the game. I still had plenty of side-questing to do, but I just wanted to be finished with the main storyline. I don't have that pokémon OCD of "gotta get all my medals!" so playing to "completion" just isn't ( Read more... )

Last night was just random doodles while I watched "John Adams" on dvd with Bo. I'm really enjoying the series. I'm definitely paying more attention than I did in school when they were teaching this. I guess it's all in how it's presented.

Each morning, I have a battle of wills with my two-year-old and my conscience for the attention I should pay to her. The morning is my best time to be creative while my mind is fresh (I'm a morning person) and being interrupted every few minutes is like sitting on the toilet and having someone burst in with a demand just as you're about to pinch ( Read more... )

So, over the past week, we spent a few days and couple nights over at nockergeek's parent's house because the construction crew had finally set a date to finish our bathroom. The results are fantastic! It's a spa-quality tub minus the jets. It's such an improvement over that dirty old sliding door shower stall and rusty metal tub! The new tub is insulated ( Read more... )

Back from Renfest and for once, we had a healthy budget to buy things! We returned with so little, but I had the pleasure of getting the baby some garb. I present to you a blurry cellphone pic as she devours what remains of her snacks from this afternoon. There are cute little touches to the costume of a ribbon on the front and lovely belt. We also ( Read more... )

Went to several garage sales. Came back with two beautiful vases (one of which is from Korea and lousy with mother-of-pearl), new freckles, and a Ru. Had a sit to watch some comedy and drew a ( mostly naked kunoichi )

I'm disappointed in the new installment of the Naruto fighting game for GameCube. I wish I could say otherwise, but I just don't feel they've utilized all the storyline features (ones that they use in cartoon clips as well within the game!) Old characters like Mizuki, Zabuza, Haku, Sandaime and Iruka could have been replaced with newer characters ( Read more... )
