Da bears!!! Madden on wii!

Have you ever played Madden on Wii? All I can say is "crazy". It's pretty much a race to see who can score the most touchdowns, because you can't stop anything defensively.

My friend and I learned the controls pretty quickly and just flailed our arms around for about 45 minutes. It was fun for the most part and just like all other Wii games lost it's magic when playing alone.

I love my cocaine mule bag! (till 2010)

Photobucket

I know Manhattan Portage is all the rage, even though they just look like overpriced dickies bags.
Cocaine Mule, on the other hand, is a full-featured bag and disguises it in an all too common package.

There are so many pockets and attachments to this thing. The quality is ridiculously good and the
plaid lining on the inside, think Will Smith in Fresh Prince of Bel Air turning his school jacket inside out,
is enough to say "yeah it's prof on the outside but chic on the in."

I guess I would also compare this bag to the SNL skit where you buy a luxury car for bad neighborhoods.
It looks like a broken down taxi cab, with dents, missing hubcaps, but on the inside you have a 5 Star Luxury
car with heated seats and all the options.

They're a little pricey, but thank goodness for clearance at Urban Outfitters.

If you haven't today, go to freerice.com and get a step closer to ending world hunger.

This is a really great site to peruse when you're bored at work or home.

A lot of us are probably thinking back to the time when we angrily marched out of our 7th Grade English class saying that big, useless words would never have any impact on saving a life...

...well it does.

Flex your brain and feed a family!

I got this canvas drawing at Urbran Outfitters a bajillion years ago
and it finally begins to serve a purpose with microblogging
becoming the huge trend that it is.

Finally after 9 months.

So here's the story:

My father and his friend needed help setting up their new business. Should only take a month or so, just a few things.

One month became two, two became six, and six became currently. After fighting through what seemed like endless city permits and rewrites and an inventory of 1500 plus goods and organizing an entire international market (wholesale and retail sides with the help of my brother and sister) and creating their logos, business cards, website and email newsletters...they can officially say "we're open".

extra sleepy face minus the beard plus the work attitude.

So I shaved my beard today. I don't know why, but I go through a beard phase every month. Then I reluctantly come to the conclusion that beards are an accessory that are hard to match.

I probably look better without it, although in this picture I'm sure it's hard to tell.

vegan chocolate peanut butter cookies are found at work sans one.

I love these cookies. Everyone at "work" loved them as well.

So when I accidentally left my box of cookies there, it was no surprise that someone had to get another.

If your gf plays this with you and wears tank tops, let her be Reed Richards you'll see why.

We rescued this game from a ToysRus clearance bin for $5 with an additional 20% off all clearance items promotion going on. So essentially we got a $4 Wii game. We also grabbed MonkeyBall for Wii at the same price.

You really can't go wrong with cheap wii games, since they all essentially all follow they same format: point, wiggle, repeat.

I didn't expect much seeing as the game sported the characters from the licensed movie (gamers know that licensed movie games are shotty adaptations rushed to coincide with movie releases). Luckily I saw 2K Games logo attached (a branch of Take Two Interactive [Rockstar Games].

Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer plays like Marvel Ultimate Alliance...no...it essentially is Marvel Ultimate Alliance with a face lift.

It's not far into the first level that Reed Richards needs to use his special power, which is activated by shaking the wiimote and nunchuck up and down furiously.

If you can visualize that, then you can get what the title means.

One dig dug morning. (blue steel)

If you wake up wearing a dig dug t-shirt, you have to take a picture.
If you take a picture, you have to make a blue steel face.
If you make a blue steel face, you have to say you got the black lung...pop

:cough cough:

Misplaced what's left of bekas vegan cookies, toppled her blog, working to fix and find and sleep.

Beka installed "Disqus" on her blog, (it's a commenting system on blogs much like SezWho, except it embeds itself into your code and owns your page), all her comments have been getting diverted.

We were working to remove "Disqus", which is like playing Trauma Center. In the midst of removing it we lost a great deal of her blog formatting. It was a long night and she wanted to give up working on it, I was part to blame I felt, but now her blog is a lot better.

Beka made me two batches of vegan chocolate peanut butter cookies (myfav), I took the second batch to work to share. I thought I brought them home with me, but they're missing.

Awe thanks!!!

It's the little things that make all the difference.

big hands guitar hero ds = finger cramps!

I'm a sucker for miniaturized big things or the reverse (ie. gianormous paper clips) so when Guitar Hero shrunk, I squeeled, like the knights who say Ni.

Instead of focusing on how it's really just a semi-entertaining overpriced game that you'd get bored with after a few songs, and complaining about how music games never have enough of the best songs, I'm just going to say that this game is a mouse trap for hands.

It is a medieval torture tool that keeps you playing while your hand cramps up. Other possible titles they could have considered instead of Guitar Hero DS: World Tour:

1. Guitar Hero DS: Death Grip
2. Guitar Hero DS: I Gonna Watch You Bleed
3. Guitar Hero DS: A Warning Label Will Not Detract Sales

Anyone else have other names they could have considered?

ps. Have you heard about the new ds? (Slimmer with wider screens, onboard memory and no gba slot)

Geez Apple. Why leopard won't read in a lightscribe dvd writer is beyond me. Having to put in a back up in blows.

Blerg! I've become a net statistic. My Apple Dual Processor G5 Powermac won't read my Leopard 10.5 Disk.

Leopard Victims


Sigh. So the options for resolving this issue (thanks google) includes: turning my computer upside down, use my Macbook in target disk mode and connect it through firewire to my Powermac, or (the simplest solution not on google =P) use the dvd drive from another computer.

So it error-ed a couple of times, but it finally kicked through. "Yay for the third grade...Yay for school."
