I've been busy training for my snowshoe races and hanging with the new dog. Also been doing a Photo a Day challenge, which has taken up a lot of my spare time. Plus, any blogging ideas I've had I've been saving for BaD.
So far, I'm keeping up OK. But then, Beau is one of the most adorable dogs I've ever met (yeah, maybe just a wee bit biased).
OK, so quolls are the Aussie equivalent of raccoons. Note to self: cuter from a distance.
Yeah, endless battles by yourself are boring as fuck. And the AI isn't all that helpful.
LOL, I dunno, I like it, because if I miss a day, I'm posting at the same time as the rest of the people in the US. Gives me an extra day! It's hard to compete with photos of wild kangaroos and cockatoos in people's front yards, though. Kinda like "gee, all my local wildlife is pretty boring!" By the way, I think one of the coolest animals in the world is the quoll. Bilbys are pretty awesome, too.
Thanks! I'll add you later when I get a chance to game again.
Oh, cutting out soda is hard! Getting easier, though.
Thanks! Gad you're enjoying them. I posted the list of prompts in my Beau album on Facebook. You should join us, there's no judgement, and if a prompt doesn't do it for you, just skip that day. Interpretation is pretty loose too.
I've already played Zestiria and finished it on the PS3. I don't feel the need to buy it for the PS4 :D
I haven't seen Rogue One yet. And Ip Man is on Netflix, I know it's not the same as the big screen, but better than nothing.
Awesome, I'll read that as soon as I'm done replying here.
It's both easier and harder working in a grocery store in respect to diet. I've been bringing a water bottle full of water from home, and when I finish that, I buy a bottle of water there. I'd drink the tap water, but the town water is so heavily chlorinated that it's like drinking swimming pool water. When you can taste the chlorine in a fountain Coke, it's bad! And there's all the goodies to tempt - chips, chocolate, donuts (we get the leftover bakery items at the end of the night, I've been really good and not taking any!). But there's also fresh produce and the hot food bar, which does have some healthy choices.
I wonder how I fit everything in! I could get more done if I spent less time on the internet, but then again, it's how I stay in touch with family and friends all over the world. Less Netflix probably wouldn't hurt, either, but sometimes that's what I need to unwind after a day of dealing with people. The dog has made it impossible to skip the exercise, which is good, and I can frequently take photos while we're out and about. Gaming is in fits and starts. It also helps that I'm only part time at the market.
Unfortunately, it looks like DQ Heroes is just one player. It might actually have been more fun if I could have played it with a friend.
I like soda, I love Cherry Coke, and it was hard to give up my daily Cherry Coke after work. There's a locally-made ginger brew (non-alcoholic) that is really good and not made with processed sugar that I will sometimes treat myself to. It has a lot of ginger in it and pretty much bites back. I find it's really good when I'm not feeling well - ginger is good for your immune system and digestion.
I'll have to pick up Tearaway: Unfolded, you're the second person to recommend it to me.
Which one? Rogue Nation? yes, I actually watched half last night and half this morning before work.
I had a wake up call when I stepped on the scale in August and it told me I weighed 165 pounds. I'm 5'2", that's way too much, so I knew I needed to make some changes. The puppy has been really good at helping in the exercise department.
Yeah, you do need to see Kubo. One of the better animated movies I've seen. I rented it from Amazon (I'm really bad about taking movies back to Red Box, even though we have one in the store I work at) for $3.99 for the SD version. I thought it was worth the price. The other good animated movie I watched recently was Song of the Sea. That one was free with Prime, if you happen to have Prime.
As for the music, it was all over the place. It's one of those piped in channels that we have no control over. Billie Jean by Michael Jackson ( a song I loathe, by the way), Stepping Out by Joe Jackson (a favorite back in high school), Take On Me - A-Ha (love that one, too), and I think there was some Billy Idol playing when I was grabbing dinner at the hot bar. I don't remember what it was, but I was amusing the little old lady standing next to me because I was singing along out loud. Now that I think about it, it's probably all top 40 stuff because I remember it all from listening to the radio back when I was in high school.
The problem with DQ Heroes is it's really just battles and a central hub where you can buy better equipment and make upgrades. There's a bare-bones generic story and you recruit characters from previous DQ games at various points, etc, but I'm only into the third area and it's gotten old already. I really should have read some reviews before I bought the game. Oh, well. At least it was only twenty bucks.
