The next couple days, we don't have any set schedule for what needs to be done when.

We need to go play Animal Crossing today so Jingle, the Reindeer, can give us a Christmas Present (more special furniture). And I'll probably play more De Blob tonight, since K's going to Church. :D

K also have to call her family, whilst we open the gifts from her grandma and our friends Nicole and Peter tonight as well.

Tomorrow, K gets to open a bunch of gifts from her parents. We have Turkey and Chocolate Fondue planned. No real plans past that. I've told K if she "needs" to watch her Christmas Specials (Little Drummer Boy, Frosty, etc.) I'm OK with that.

.. it might be last minute, but there's definitely Christmas Spirit in the house.

The tree is done. They cats DID NOT knock it over, so the ornaments went up last night.
Also, K made the dough for her mom's Christmas cookies, which she'll probably finish tomorrow.

And that, as such, are our plans. :D

And either tomorrow, but more like Friday, K and I are going to see Marley and Me. :D

So... Merry Christmas to all my Friends!

o/~ A Video Game and a CD o/~

There's this Wii Game I've heard all sorts of great things about: de Blob. The premise is pretty simple... you are in a colorless world, you are a blob that can pounce on wandering robots containing paint, suck in the color and color the world around you.

There's a little strategy involved, especially in later levels, but it's mostly a 3D platformer. You jump, smash and slime your way around a three dimensional world, meeting challenges, coloring things and finding things to smash.

One of the neat things about the game is that depending on the 'mood' you say Blob is in at the start of the game, the sounds the buildings make as you color them different colors change them. I played my first game with Blob feeling 'Smooth' and it was orchestration (coloring buildings yellow, for example, made a flute play.). The second game, Blob was feeling 'Funky' and it was much jazier. Pretty neat.
There's things you unlock as you play as well. Free Mode. Multiplayer games and mini-missions. I'm liking the game so far.

As she was looking for gifts, she happened upon a CD called "Let it Snow Baby, Let it Reindeer" by Relient K which had a number of covers of Christmas Favorites and some originals. K took a look at some of the names and said "Howard would probably like that." It's decent. :)

And last night, from K's parents, I got "The Producers DVD" (K's parents actually gave me *8* gifts, one for each night of Hannukah. So I open them one per night, as, I think, was the intention. :) )

The PROBLEM now.. the PROBLEM is... we "HAVE" to play Animal Crossing to keep the town we've invested so much effort into going (keep our flowers watered, look for fossils) but I have at least one new Wii game I wanna play. :)

This could be a Problem. We'll have to sort it out. :) Luckily, we're all adults (sorta ;) ) in the house. Also, luckily I have two 4 day weekends ahead of me. :D

We spent a quiet weekend at home. Mostly because K couldn't ditch the cold.

That was OK, honestly. We spent alot of time playing Animal Crossing, which is cute all it's own, but add other people, and you can have all sorts of other gameplay you couldn't have had otherwise. You can play hide and go seek in someone else's town. You can have 5 or 10 minute fishing/bud-catching tournaments. You can exchange fruit, go raid each other's shops (Clothes Shop and General Store), visit each other's museums to see how people are doing compared to you.

It was a good time.

Not much to say past that. We're hoping to get Fleetwood Mac tickets today. 3/10 at the Verizon Center. The tickets go on sale at 10. :) Both K and I like Fleetwood Mac and how many chances will there be left, I wonder, to see them live. :)
