Yes, I'm back again. I finished The Lion's Song. The game is basically like a snapshot of history in Vienna on the brink of World War I. You're following three different characters, from a composer trying to create the perfect melody, to painter trying to find out what's missing from his paintings, and a female mathematician trying to make it in a ( Read more... )

We went to Disneyland yesterday. I had wanted to go last week, but my mom was sick. Both she and my dad have been with bad colds, and they're still recovering from them. Luckily I've been spared *knocks on wood*. Even so, my mom only wanted to make this a brief visit (nothing's brief with Disneyland) because she was concerned about packages she ( Read more... )

So, Christmas is over and done with. Unfortunately I've been sick. It hasn't been the worst I've ever had, but it's still really annoying especially when I'm trying to enjoy Christmas. I came down with the cold on the first day of winter, which just figures. I'm still sick, but I'd like to think I'm slowly getting better. I didn't feel too bad last ( Read more... )

So, I was unable to complete that Nostradamus game. A pretty bad technical issue got in the way. It involved rotating a floating dresser to pick up a piece of a mirror. You had to turn the dresser around to get it and for the life of me, I could not do it. I even looked up online and people said you just had to drag the mouse and the dresser would ( Read more... )

So I can I say I had a good Christmas this year. Of course it ended sadly, but I'll get to that later. First, we had our Christmas dinner on Christmas Eve. My mom literally did a last minute shopping trip for the food on that very morning. Typical. We had ham, mashed potatoes, green beans and croissants. My mom also tried to make this spice cake ( Read more... )

We had a pre-Christmas dinner last night at Grammy's house. It's common for us to do that because usually my aunt and uncle aren't available for Christmas Eve. Turns out that would have been possible this year after the fact, but no one knew because Jennie and Doug only mentioned it at dinner. So, yeah we got prime rib for dinner including roasted ( Read more... )

So, I had a pretty nice Christmas even though I felt tired and for some reason overwhelmed. It felt like the old days again before my brother met Kourtnei. I got everything I wanted except for the lampshade and/or lamp. I still need that. I also didn't get the Tom Chaplin CD either (Aaand I just realized it's because it doesn't come out until next ( Read more... )

So, we had the early Christmas dinner at Grammy's last night. My aunt and uncle came. It went all right. So, Grammy had ordered a prime rib and I guess green bean casserole and scalloped potatoes came with it. I don't touch green bean casserole, but from what I heard from the others, it wasn't very good. Neither were the scalloped potatoes. Grammy' ( Read more... )

I'm fresh off of finishing the last episode of Batman (Yes, it finally came out on Friday.) called City of Light. It's time to put an end to the Penguin after he killed the police commissioner (Not Gordon. Had to do a double take there. Well, the guy did have a name similar to Gordon), which is not so hard. Meeting up with him as Bruce and with the ( Read more... )

I just finished a very short casual game called A Bird Story. It's a Japanese style pixel game and it was really cute and moving. The story is about a schoolboy who comes across a bird being attacked by a badger. He wards off the badger and the injured bird hops into his backpack. The boy takes the bird home, taking care of it and develops a close ( Read more... )
