I see the world through pixeled glasses

My thumbs are dance'n for joy ^_^

A few days ago my fabulous wife went and purchased me a Nintendo DS. Partly because I wanted one and partly because I wouldn’t stop whining about it, seriously I was like a 6 year old. Well maybe not that bad, but my GBA SP was on its way out and was feeling pretty down and out about it. But huzzah! Happy days are here again. I have new DS a few new games to play so I’m one happy pappy. I’m having so much fun with it too; I now see what all the hype was about. My first two games are Mario Kart and Meteos and both are proving to be worth every penny. I keep my DS on my desk at work and I stare at it out of the corner of my eye… It wants me to play it… it calls to me…

I also went as saw Kong a few weekends back. Not a bad movie, I think Peter kept his 3 hours a 7 min flowing pretty good. I took a convenient bathroom break during the bug fight though. Bugs… ewww… So the moive was good but being in a movie theater again brought back good times. I used to work in a Famous Players as a projectionist and I have to say it was one of the most excellent jobs I’ve ever had. I got to work up stairs by myself. I got to see ever movie that come though the place for free if I wanted too (I’ve seen Austin Powers 3 seven times!). I got to see lots of movie trailers which is always fun (I might have even scammed a few 35mm trailers before I left too. Don’t worry. They would only have been thrown out anyway.), I even had to learn how to splice a movie together and got to hear some neat-o projection and movie house history. Yup, it was a blast. If only it paid better. Ah well, they’re good memories (I remember free body pillow sized bags of moive popcorn... Mmmmm... true story).

And now for some icy pictures I took during the holidays. All but one where taken at my Dad's house up north of 7 in a little town called Madoc. Can you guess which one it is? I think it was the day after boxing day that I took these. Was had a lot of freezing rain so everything was slippery and shiny. All over cast though, I was hoping for a nice sunny day but you can't find nature. Still all in all I think that they're pretty good. Always improving I am ^_^
