Bring On the New Year
Wow, Merry Christmas everyone! And soon, Happy New Year!
I think one of my new years resolutions is going to be to generate more blog traffic and to BLOG MORE!
There is so much to say and so little time - I hope everyone got what they wanted for Christmas (for Marc, Hanukkah) and more!
I won’t bore you with a list of stuff I got, but I need to highlight one thing in particular that I received, and that is, in a word -
NERDTASTIC
You know that you may want to get counseling for the amount of time you spend on a computer when: 1. You receive computer books for Christmas or 2. When you get bored you hack into your graphing calculator and install Pong on it when you are a 17-year-old in High School.
Neither of which I have EVER done, by the way.
And finally, I present to you THE BEST GIFT EVER!
Prepare yourself for the most wonderful, most entertaining, the gift that EVERYONE wanted as SOON as I opened it up. The REAL cream of the crop when it comes to presents —
BEHOLD!
The Microwave!
Well I told my mother that the duct-taped microwave from my old roommate worked JUST FINE, but she insisted that she get me a new one for Christmas. Go figure.
Actually, that’s not really exciting at all. I have to admit I have not microwaved anything yet with my new microwave, but I can assure you that will be one very entertaining blog entry in the brewer when I do.
Anyways, THIS is actually the most entertaining gift I have received this year. It’s one of those V-Rocker thingies, where it has speakers in the chair and you get 2.1 surround sound in the chair while you rock out and play games on the PS2.
Actually, I also received a really cool controller for the Guitar Hero game. Anyone heard of that game? NO?! GET OUT!
That game rocks - and now I have the first guitar hero, the second one, AND the third one for my entertainment needs. Unfortunately, when I tried to play with my new controller, it did NOT work at all. So today, after going out to lunch with my friend Angela and her daughter, Dominique, we decided to take back the controller and get another one at Best Buy.
This is what you get when you cross a 13-year-old (Angela’s daughter) with a Guitar Controller:
“Like OHMIGODILOVETHISCONTROLLER.”
That was all she said and I was SOLD. Actually, it’s a pretty neat controller when you take away the fact that the STRUMMER LIGHTS UP BLUE.
Guitar Hero rocks.
