“Your blog is very cryptic and melodramatic.”
Meh… so it has been. It’s time to GOM, get over myself. Let’s get back to the happy things in life!

Yesterday was a really fun night, ’90s video game night at my house. I brought out the old Sega Mega Drive and I found the old NES too. Not only did we realize that these old games are waaayyyy too fast for our brains now, but we realized that our minds are not nearly as ADD enough anymore for these games! Holy SHIT are we OLD? I mean seriously… Sonic seems really TOO fast now. El Viento was way too much information for my eyes to take in at once, too, when I totally used to play these games. Maybe I need to not play games that are fast-based. -_-

Highlights & Moments to Remember:

1. CHEESEBOARD
2. HIDING (see #1). haaaaaaahahah Eugenia hiding too, HAHAHA
3. Novaaaaaa
4. Greg showing pics of his not-Japan trip but rather pics of the Eiffel Tower, New York, Bart trains, etc. etc., and of course, the United Airlines Bullet Train.
5. Doodling with Greg’s first pic of Tokyo Tower for 5-10 minutes, HAHAHAH
6. Mauricio FAILING at the second stage of Sonic 2 with the block elevator things (“WAIT FOR IT, just STAYYYY on iiitt!!”) ; The panis music when Sonic runs out of breath! Talk about high blood pressure to the MAX! This game is HARD!
7. Mauricio FAILING at walking from one sliding plank to another at the second stage of Sonic 2. “DUDE he totally went FASTER that time” [enter reeaaallyy lagged Sonic walk]; consistently falling back into the water; trying to figure out how to use the bouncy spring to get out of the water–AHAHAHAHAHAH FAAAILLLLLLLLLURREEE
8. Mahjoong Zero Wing!! The green one is the best. Using your “dudes” to break stuff on the map and to take all the hits = the best strategy evar. Last time, Greg0r spent 2+ hours playing this, and this time we spent 15 minutes on it… it’s so HARD!
9. TMNT2 for NES: poor chap who has to push those HUGE metal balls down the stairs, which may or may not hit anyone at the bottom; the foot clan ninjas that hide directly behind a flat poster on a brick wall–HAHAHAH; Bebop is invincible. No matter how much time has passed, this game is SO awesome (but sooo HARD!!)
10. Quackshot for Genesis: I TOLD you guys this was a good game! Ultimate stomach sliding technique ftw! This was definitely one of those games where I thought about learning Japanese for the sole purpose of being able to play all the Japanese games we have. Cuz seriously, not knowing where you’re supposed to go to where to pick up whatever item makes this game SO hard!
11. Golden Axe: The Duel! hahaha ; Sucks not having a B button to do regular attacks -_-;; CLASSIC game… but man it’s HARD!!!
12. P.O.W. for NES: This totally gave me flashbacks of Conrad playing it nonstop back in the day! They gave up playing this within 10 minutes. HARD.
13. Shove It! turned out to be THE game most suitable for our elderly minds yesterday–and even then, we gave up immediately when the stages got complicated and we realized it was too hard for our late night, Friday brains to handle.
14. And of course, 2-3 hours of the original Ninja Gaiden. I fell asleep but I kept hearing: “NO! Don’t get that item, that one sucks!” ; “Don’t get it, keep going.” ; and lots of laughing and clapping over how ridiculous the last stage of the game was. I mean… it really IS ridiculous. You could be jumping over to the next ledge and three enemies will appear out of thin air, with no prior indication that they would fly out. gg getting so far on another hard game, guys… ;x

Here are some other happy moments recently:

Bri’s last game: Boobies play! Missing a few people tho :(

I saw this at Target! How CUUUTTTEEE!!

Brent’s really popular and had a lot of his friends show up early to the UFC bbq.
(The best part is: in this situation, does Eugenia actually count as HIS friend? waaahahha)

GH;ASS: Got hungry; ate some salad. [hhahah gass?? waaahha]
Reaching over the railing to pick up the salad.

In actuality.
SOOOOOOOOOO close!!

A picture’s worth a thousand words.
Oh, Eshen!

Cute, guys.

Yummmyyyy! Harris’ filet mignon + scalloped potatoes! DREAM COME TRUE!! =DDD

Two things that make me extremeley happy while at work

I’m sure there will be plenty more to come tonight! Happy birthday, whichquan(s)!! <3 you!!!
