Me hand love cookie!

Evelyn has a unique relationship with my hands. It all started when she was crying in the car one day, and I reached my hand back in a puppet shape and started talking to her in a Cookie Monster voice. This entertained her enough to keep her from crying, and so it seemed like a worthwhile endeavor.




Little did I know, that was only the beginning. Cookie Monster now gets "called out" quite frequently. The most recent example was when I was putting her to bed tonight. I had her give Faithy a hug and kiss, and then me. I was carrying her toward her bed, and she yelled "COOKIE MONSTER!". I didn't figure out what she was saying until she repeated it, and then I dutifully brought out Cookie Monster to kiss her goodnight. She gave him a ton of kisses, and he asked her for some cookies, like he always does. She said she didn't have any, like she always does. He started crying. (like he always does). And, like she always does, she managed to find some and give them to him.

Anyways, I never expect it, and I rarely initiate it, but she'll occasionally just start yelling "COOKIE MONSTER!" until he comes out and talks to her.

Final daze

Well, it's almost time to say "guh-bye" to one of my old pals. We've played together for hours and hours, and I won't soon forget the feeling of her cool blackness in my palm.

That's right- it's my last week with my Xbox. I'm passing it on to Brian next time we go home, which happens to be Easter weekend.

Faith bought it for my birthday about three years ago, and it lasted through all the Halo and Halo 2 parties I took it to.

Sayonara, old pal. I'm sure you'll appreciate that, since most your components are made in China. (Chinese components like Japanese goodbyes, right?)




This post is pathetic. :)

Horror must end, but seriously.

So I watched The Invisible Children tonight. It is so sad.


You should watch it.

So, I attended the Game Developer's Conference in San Francisco, immediately followed by Battle Cry, also (conveniently) in San Francisco.

I got nicely sunburned... turns out California has sky-windows that let that big yellow shiny thing blast through.



Not as bad as this dude, but you get my point.


Brian, I got Ninjas & Samurai + Samurai and Lawmen in the mail... we have to play Heroscape again, old pal. I'm currently in the middle of a game with my friend at work- we had to pause it because it was taking too long. So at lunch tomorrow, the war continues...

Learning Japanese Made Fun!

I like my game. Brian, did you like it? It took me a couple hours to get up to speed, but now I'm having a blast.

We took Evelyn to the zoo yesterday. It's surprising how hard it is for me to believe that zebras are real. I totally believe that pictures of zebras are real- I've seen hundreds of those. But real ones blow my mind. I keep thinking, "What happened to that poor donkey?!!".

We took some pictures of the creepy zebras.




See? Pictures of zebras are fine.

Geek Status: Verified

Well, today I joined the realm of the true video gaming elite. There was one final step I needed to take, and I have taken it.

I am importing a game from Japan. In Japanese.

Appropriately, it's a game about giant robots. Ironically, it's for the DS. So it's a tiny giant robot game.
