Boardwalk and Parkplace

So I played Monopoly with the house hold (Siblings and parents) and was easily destroyed. My dad recieved Parkplace on his first turn around the board, and missed Boardwalk. At this point in time I haven't even made it half way around the board.

On his next turn he lands on chance. The card read, "Take a walk on the Boardwalk." So my dad had houses on the biggest places in the game, before I even passed Go once. Strangely enough, he was the first of the family to lose to my younger brother. He ended up winning.



The past couple of weeks I've been participating in a little contest at the union township library. It ends this week, and the grand prize is a Laptop. The first place is a MP3, and there is nothing else to win. This has been happening for a couple of months now, and I haven't won a thing yet (I was wrong, every week they drew for a goodie bag). So yes, monday starts the week were I just sit in the library and read. Cause, heck I wanna laptop. Especially a free one.


So for those of you who don't personally know me, I am a complete Zelda Freak. I've played every Zelda game, and I have already bought the next one (Twilight Princess). I've been replaying my favorite game in the series, and saving up a LOT of money. I've been replaying Ocarina of Time and I've got about four more dungeons left, and then there is the big boss battle.


I've been saving up for the Wii(Nintendo revolution). I've only got $10 saved up, and I have about two months to save up somewhere near $250. The Wii is not going to be any more than $300, and that is more than the people at nintendo want it to be, so I'm going to stick with about $250.



Well...yea, that's all new and exciting in my life. Oh yea, I went to see Pirates 2 again. That's all that I can think of...Daphnes Nohansen Hyrule.

CAPTIAN Jack Sparrow

So I went to go see Pirates two, and loved it. I have the song played on the organ stuck in my head. Although, I don't think it's right...Okay I've got it now, no need to panic. Now I've really got it stuck in my head.

I've been playing a lot of video games lately. Most of them I've already beaten, but then again I've beaten all of my games but one. Three, I lied, four I've done it again. Okay I think that's all of them...

That's all that I can think of that is new and exciting for the time being.

I'll see ya later.

Update

I rode my bike on an actual road, a road other than a neiborhood road. I've done this one other time, and almost got hit. This time I rode during a time other than rush hour, and made it to my destination and back in one piece. So right now I'm very proud of myself, one for not dying, and two now I have something to do. Clepper Park is not too far from my house, so I can ride there, or I can ride to my friends house.

Today I went to my friends house to return a game, and ended up staying there for about three hours. While there I played Guitar Hero, and Resident Evil 4. Guitar Hero is like DDR (Dance Dance Revolution) except instead of a pad that you dance on, your controller is a Guitar that you play on. Resident Evil 4 is possibly the scariest game that I've ever played, and on top of that it's also a very challenging game. There are a total of two discs, and there are very few times that you do not encounter an enemy of some sort. My friend has a manual, and I peeked through it today. I was almost to the end of the game, and I decided to return it. I hate it when I do that.

I might go back to my friends house tomorrow, go to Clepper, the library, or just stay at home. Regardless of what I do, I can promise you that I WILL get around to riding my bike on the main road. Mainly because...I'm able to get my temps. and I need to be able to not freak out while being on main roads.

And because their funny, I'll leave you with a Garfield comic.

Recently I've been reading a lot of Manga*. I've been hooked on a series called Rurouni Kenshin lately. It's about a man who is a wandering samurai, a Rurouni, when he visits Tokyo. While he's in Tokyo he goes to a dojo and involves the master of the dojo, Kamiya Kaoru, in his past. What we don't know, is that Kenshin is Hittokiri Battosai. Battosai was a mass killer in the time of the Bakamatsu, which is a Japanese war. It's a romantic comedy, but there's a lot of action too.

*Manga is a reverse comic made in Japan. You read right to left instead of left to right. It's not too bad once you get used to it. The hardest part is reading a regular comic right after you read a Manga.


So just about every day I've been checking out 1up.com in hopes that they would have more information on any new games that I want. But the game being my main concern, would have to be The Legend Of Zelda Twilight Princess. So far there have been a million Zelda games, and I've liked all of them. Well...Four Swords wasn't as good, but it was okay. Twilight Princess has been in existence for about two years now, and I've known about it for about a year and a half. The graphics look amazing, and we get to go back to Hyrule. Hyrule is where the Zelda games originated from. Also I happen to be an obsessed Zelda fan, so...I want to play every and all Zelda games.

Along with Twilight Princess I've been keeping my eye on Super Smash Brothers Brawl. Ive really like the Smash games, and I think this one will be even better than the last ones. My only worry is how it will operate on the Wii (pronounced we). The Wii controller is in two parts, and while the "nunchuk" has the analog, the remote doesn't have nearly enough buttons to do everything necessary. Well it will, but it doesn't seem to have nearly as many options as the Gamecube controller has.



So I went to go see Nacho Libre and I invited a huge amount of friends. No one showed, so I watched a mediocre movie with about ten to fifteen other people in the entire theatre. There were some funny parts, but it wasn't worth either the funnel cake that I ate, or the six twenty five that I paid for the ticket.

It might help if I picked an interesting movie to go to in the first place, a movie like Superman Returns, or Pirates of the Caribean Deadman's Chest...I dunno.

I've tried to get a hold of people, just to see how their doing, and I haven't had much luck.

Wow total brain dead...
I'll post later, when I don't know, but later.
