hey, happy bday, self!

yeah its a little early, but i had my bday dinner on wednesday. i think pictures would describe the evening better than words could really...i think these about sum it up.

my favorite month

hi everyone! guess what. i have a cold! this sucks, because it's really bad timing... it's my favorite month, i am supposed to go on a date this week, we have our company xmas party on friday, and next week is my bday dinner... so i am loading up on the nyquil, dayquil, and zycam trying to get over this fast.

last weekend was pretty fun tho (before i came down with this biznatch) Raz and i went to the Ugly-con at the Giant Robot store which was an art show featuring Ugly dolls. we didn't realize there were gonna be so many kids there. so no scoring for tasha & raz... well it was fun anyways, the costumes were pretty funny.
what was really cool is that the store was selling dolls made by a friend of mine from school, anna chambers. i feel all special because i have a hand-made doll from her before she was rich & famous.

game review: jeanne d'arc

warning: maybe spoilarz if you care!!! anyway. i think i'm done playing jeanne d'arc. it sucks because i really liked this game, and put several hours into it, until the very end, when it got all hard all of a sudden and wanted me to level up my characters a bunch to beat the last boss. i hate when games do that. THEN i beat that boss, but it wasn't the end, it was a trick and there was ANOTHER boss after that, that i couldn't beat... and it doesn't let you save in between. so, i think i'm done with it because it's just annoying me now. but, the good parts of the game before i got to the end were: 1) gameplay very similar to final fantasy tactics which is great 2) nice graphics 3) fairly interesting storyline 4) combining skills to create new skills is pretty fun. so if you have a lot of patience to level up your characters a bunch by doing the same level over and over at the end then go for it.

but now i think i'm ready to move on to some phoenix wright 3.

happy halloween!

guess which pumpkin i carved.

happy bday razmig

last night was my friend raz's bday... well actually his real bday is either today or tomorrow, he's not sure which. (?) so we went to this awesome & cozy restaurant called La Mediterranee. i'm not usually a huge fan of mediterranean food but what i ordered - 1 of each fillo dough wrap with vegetable lentil soup - was absolutely delicious. afterwards we went to a pretty cool bar called the Hemlock for some chillin. hope you enjoy your gummy tongues and instant critters raz!

reunion

so now both kitties are back with me at my apartment! there was a short adjustment phase where snoopy had to get used to mr. peterson invading her territory. surprisingly mr. p adapted to the new place super quick! a little bit of hissing, a little bit of barfing, but nothing too terrible. Now things are back to normal, with snoopy trying to hit mr. p's tail or sniff her butt while she's eating, and mr. p her grouchy self.

i got this photo by holding up a baggie of dried fish flakes which mr. p loves. if you look close you can kinda see her mitten hands (she has thumbs) i should try to get a better pic of those.

lets see what else is going on...i got a cleaning person to clean my apt. twice a month so i'm excited about that. i'm trying to keep up with running 2 times a week, altho i have been a bit inconsistent it's just so hard to wake up early during the week! My fantasy football team (The Dungeon Lords) has been horrible so far this season, but oh well :p oh also my new psp arrived but i haven't played it yet. i'm still playing WoW, rogue galaxy and hotel dusk so i have too many games already. also to be honest i'm getting a little bored of video games lately... just a little tho. weird.
