(no subject)

I really, really like the Spyro, the Dragon video game franchise. So I did the happy dance when I unwrapped the latest installment Christmas day.

Spyro, a New Beginning is NOT a Spyro game. There are no speedways, no portals, no mini-games. His sidekick Sparks is no longer a playable character, and is also no longer a health indicator. He's just comic relief. And I can't fry helpless little sheep and chickens just for the heck of it anymore!

To make it worse, I beat the game in 8hours 55mins! I usually get a good couple of weeks out of a Spyro game, becaus eof all the mini games and easter eggs hidden in the game. I guess they spent all the budget on getting Elijah Wood, Gary Oldman, and David Spade to do the voice overs, instead of crerating a DECENT GAME!!!! *fumes*

When I ( or my hubby) pay $50 for a BRAND NEW GAME, I expect to get more than a half day out of it!!!

101 in 1001

sandykidd posted this little meme that she pilfered from 101 in 1001. Considering my penchant for massive “To Do” lists, I thought, meh, why not? I’ve learned not to do the dreaded New Year’s resolutions; doing so inevitably leads to a three-way with Depression and Anxiety. And, ya know, those girls tend to be clingy. Nope, I’d rather just avoid them all together. Instead, I make lists of things I’d like to do, but without the “Thou Shalt” mentality behind them. These lists are daily, weekly, monthly, yearly, and far-reaching, but nothing’s quite as thrilling as crossing something off a list.

So here’s my (roughly) three year plan), in no particular order. Some items are serious, some silly, and some probably don’t have a snowball’s chance, but hey, that’s OK. It’s okay to have a few dreams on the list.
