At the moment, I have four handheld gaming systems sitting next to me, half of which are plugged in to recharge their spent batteries. I’ve got one of those old white Gameboy Advances, a Gameboy Advance SP with random Nintendo stickers covering it, an original Nintendo DS (one of the large, grey ones) and an Onyx Nintendo DS which is so covered with stickers that the Continue reading
Catching up
Lessee, what all has happened since the last post? The husband and I had a fun time up in the Haute with the Lushbaughs and Miller. We ate at Mogger’s (teh m0st awes0mest tav3rn 3var!) and played some Dungeons and Dragons, killing wantonly and getting tons of l00t. It’s too bad it’ll probably be a couple months before we get another chance to run up there again. On the way Continue reading
Champion!
After a week of a lot of Pokémon playing, I finally beat the Elite Four and the Champion (the final bosses of the game) and am now the Pokémon Champion in the Hall of Fame! For the one or two people who’ve played the game and will have any idea what I’m talking about, here’s the team I had when I beat the Elite Four (a couple leveled during the fighting partway through): Continue reading
Surreal
Sometimes I have moments where I realize what I’m doing or experiencing is just completely random and bizarre. Normally the things that are completely random or bizarre are just in my head or things I’ve said, but today it’s what I’m actually doing. I’m watching Santa Claus Conquers the Martians (where a martian was just woken up with a tickle raygun) on my laptop Continue reading
Indiana Spring
This state is more than a little insane when it comes to the weather. Not only do local areas have crazy weather events and trends, but the state as a whole has a rather bizarre range of weather at bizarre times. Yesterday just reaffirmed to me that this state has some weather issues that not even a shrink could untangle. Continue reading
Snore
Just random tidbits. Ian’s snoring right now across the room on the futon hence the title. I’m watching Mega Disasters on The History Channel; this one’s about the New Madrid fault under the Midwest. I’ve seen it before, but it’s really just on for noise. Kitty keeps trying to get out because we took her out a week ago. We might take her out later this week, but today’s a bit Continue reading
Worthy of another attempt
So normally I warn people to stay away from my cooking, but today’s experiment was decent enough to warrant another try at making it (and thereby improving upon it). When I went shopping Sunday, I picked up pesto, tomatoes, and mushrooms for a chicken pasta dish I haven’t made in a while. While I was at it, I thought, “Hey, I’ll grab a baguette or something and some Continue reading
Kitty’s day
Kitty had an eventful day today. I went grocery shopping this afternoon. Normally I go with the husband because we alternate who comes in and out of the door so as to prevent Kitty from making an escape. Well, with him at work and me doing all the unloading, I figured she might make a dash for escape. She did. Both did she make a dash for escape as well as actually Continue reading
I HATE ONIONS
You know, I’m sick, so I’m already on threadbare nerves. Little tiny things that normally wouldn’t bother me seem so much more irritating through a haze of headaches and a volley of vomit. Then there are the things that always annoy me, making these largely annoying things into massively annoying things. The latest: onions. Mind you, I don’t like onions, not even a little. I tolerate their Continue reading
Don’t eat what I eat
Well, yesterday not long after posting, I was digging around in my purse for some gum to get rid of the taste of vomit in my mouth left over from puking up the potato soup. I found some Skittles and ate four of them before finding my gum and chewing on it for a while. Not long after the Skittles, I threw them up too. Needless to say, I was getting really tired of not being able to Continue reading
