Thanksgiving in Unexplored Areas

Happy Thanksgiving everyone. I'm back from Georgia and am quite full. "Georgia?" might you ask? Yes Georgia, the honeysuckle rose of my very large family. I've got extended family there, more specifically my Granduncle's family and my oh my was it a good time. "Enough Food to Feed a Small 3rd World Country" was the main idea of this year's celebration and man did they deliver. As you might recall last year's Thanksgiving was an abomination. "Enough Discus-Shaped Tofu and Rice to Make You Sick" was the theme that somehow formed in the head of my oh so health-conscious Mother; thank heavens for soy sauce. No my friends, this time I had a REAL Thanksgiving dinner. All the fixin's and more. I was so grateful I cried a little, a single tear if you will . . . and then continued feasting. Good times were had playing poker, ping pong, pool, Halo 2, and little breaks of Dance Dance Revolution and the Nintendo DS.

Nintendo DS: handheld gaming system for adults, crack for children. Being the technology whore you all know I am, I went out and bought the Nintendo DS. After this weekend's playtest with the DS, I can assure any of you who might go out and buy it that it is well worth it. My cousins and I were ready to claw each other to play and beat each other's scores if common sense didn't kick in. Wait, if I kill to play, then who's score would I beat? This was all over the two games I bought for it: Mario 64 DS and Feel the Magic: XY/XX. It's also a really good way to pass the time when oh let's say you're waiting for a plane from Atlanta to New York when it's delayed for two hours or maybe a taxi in a two hour line outside of Newark International Airport in the frosty cold. As long as you have the warm Nintendo DS in your hands the pain melts away.

All of the festivies ended with a nice run in World of Warcraft, my current addiction. World of Warcraft my friends. As I write this blog I play World of Warcraft. As I eat my dinner today I play World of Warcraft. As I sleep I play World of Warcraft in my head. I'm like a wet T-shirt to my computer, it's hard to take me off. I didn't think that I was going to get this addicted to this type of game. You know you kill creatures and then you level up to kill more higher level creatures and what not, but nay. It's an ingenious game that never lets up in the department of fun. That is to say that the pacing is very well thought out and I never get bored with it like I did with Final Fantasy XI or Morrowind. The environments are beautiful and the animations for the game for the most part are spot on. Anyways, you should all go out and experience it for yourselves.

So good food, good people, good games, what more could someone like me ask for? The latest and greatest USB add-on to your computer. May I present the flowerpot speaker USB device. Fresh air, a nice asthetic, something to play your hard metal on, simply wonderful. Life is good and I feel complete.
