It's all fun and games...

I LOVE days off from work! I keep telling the lead tech on my shift that all I want is to work 20 hours and keep getting paid for 40. Ahh that would be the life. Anywho, hafta go back to work tomorrow....but Wednesday starts my 8 day vay-cay-see-own! 

Found a cool website today: Pinterest, as in Pin your Interests. On this website, I found one of the funniest posters:

This is my Fred! I thought something was a little "off" with him and all along he's been plotting to kill me!

Back to the website, it's really cool for decorating ideas or crafting things. I really want to go out and buy tools and equipment to build my own things now. But I think those things are better off me wanting to do them and not actually doing them...I'm afraid the end results would be way worse, i.e. cutting off my finger. 

As for games, Ben has got me hooked on Age of Empires (the online free version). It's a little hard for me to explain exactly what it's about, but basically you have an empire that consists of workers, fighters, and healers. You get different quests to either build up your empire or to destroy an enemy empire. There is some time management involved (which I really really like playing time management games) along with strategy, hence the genre of it RTS (Real Time Strategy).

As for time management games, some good ones are Build-A-Lot and Diner Dash. 

Funny story about games: I was playing the game Ben helped create and I broke about 6 different things in his tutorial! It's bad that that many things broke just during the tutorial, but he was sitting next to me while I did it, so he was able to see what a new player would be going through and the frustration that comes with bugs. A free online game with enough bugs to make you frustrated at the game will more than likely make you not want to play...therefore it was good for him to see so that he can fix the bugs and hopefully keep their players...which is also good for our personal life because that means he keeps his paycheck! Win Win Win!  

(sidenote: for an inside joke on the "Win Win Win" comment, please watch The Office episode for "Conflict Resolution")

Wellll...that's all folks! Let's all pray for those that may be and have been affected by Hurricane Irene and pray that the damage, if any, will be substantially lower than they are predicting. Goodnight and sayonara!

Picnik

I love love love looking at neat pictures/art. I'm not as great at creating it, but sometimes I like to give it a whirl and see if I can be artsy. I've recently discovered Picnik and am in love again (I know, I know, Picnik has been around for a million years and I'm always so far behind what's out there...) but really, this site is amazing! I've really gotten into the 60's picture looks, so every picture I play with gets this effect, haha.

 

 Maybe it's just the rounded corners I like so much. Anywho, for anyone who hasn't tried picnik yet and loves playing with pictures, go check it out! It's free and I love free (coming from the girl who opens the itunes store once a week just to get the free songs)!

Bewitched

I have been watching the original Bewitched from the beginning (I've seen episodes here and there, but I like to watch things from the very beginning...so that's what I'm doing), and I've realized...I would really like to be able to wiggle my nose like Elizabeth Montgomery and voila! The things (a.k.a. housework) I want done but don't want to physically accomplish would be in their respective places. It's funny because I had finally got this apartment cleaned up, and I guess it needed to be dirty/unorganized again because I asked Ben if he'd help me clean out the garage (a storage place for packed things....the things that got moved there a year ago and still haven't come out of their boxes). So we did some unpacking, however now the living room is a mess and I can't summon the strength to finish....all I wanna do is play computer games all day on my one day off.

I think it's time for a fudge round.
