Drink Me, Like Liquid

Entry served on 17 May 2010 at 21:26

I’ve been quite hooked on Trauma Center that I think my arms are suffering from trauma. That game is seriously addictive.

Oh yeah, may have been ranting on about DS and all that, below are my latest purchases. The DS Lite was from JB-Hifi while the cellphone charms from a private LJ seller. With the LJ seller, the only reason I bought from her was because the items were going at a really low price.

NDS Lite - Coral Pink 3 Keychains

Forgive the smallness in the “big” preview. Not too sure what’s up with my YAWCAM software. *smacks YAWCAM* I haven’t touched the image settings at all but somehow it’s gone smaller. When I try and get it back to the size it was before, it was a “non-existent” image specification. Yeah right.

Right, the DS. It’s a DS Lite in coral pink. That was the last DS Lite in the store. Instant buy right there. And straight after, I got myself the Pokemon HeartGold. I’m going slow with that game. Trauma Center takes priority. I’ve got patients suffering from GUILT that needs my ~healing touch~. I’m slowly levelling up my Pokemon with the Pokewalker though. It’s on myself most of the time.

With the keychains, they are super-mighty-awesome! The left-most one is a bun and it smells like a real bun! Not joking. I’m being really real here. (???) The other two supposedly flashes if a call is incoming (after plastic tab is removed, duh!) I’m waiting until my New Zealand charm breaks off to use these new cuties.

In real life, I attended a 21st on Saturday night. It was OK. My two other friends and I left at about 12:30AM. I expected to last until about 2AM, guess not. But there’s another 21st in about two weeks so I’m hoping to last a bit later next time. I learnt that next time, to last late through the night, don’t take a “food” break.

Within three hours, I had already downed three drinks. And these weren’t pissy low alcohol beers/wines. I started off with a Mojito, followed by a Midori/Lemonade mix, had a few sips of Grand Marnier with Lemonade mix finishing off with Cointreau/Lemonade mix. I did not like the Grand Marnier because it had that raisin taste. Yuk. Total spent = NZD ~$30.  Me = (??;)

I’ve got a Chemistry assignment which I need to beat with a stick to death at the moment, so…that’s all folks!

DS Fever

Sometimes, I think it’s ridiculous to set a minimum post count per week for any sort of hosting. I saw one that said the hostee must update at least three times a week. Right. Sometimes I can’t even update three times a month without sounding like a broken record.

Mini-tirade over, I’m 99% sure I’ll be getting my paws on the DS Lite Red Mario console next weekend. I can’t wait. Doesn’t help that there’s also the Pokemon Heart Gold and Soul Silver game with more interaction via the pedometer. That should encourage me to exercise more. Mm-hmm. I’ve checked out some games that I may buy initially. They will hopefully include one of the following: Kirby – Canvas Curse; GTA – Chinatown Wars; and Drawn to Life. Hopefully.

And to entertain yourself some more, Modi’s take on good health is sound advice.

PS. Bought a few items online. Should be coming soon. *glee* ?

My new sandals/slippers!

So my old slippers were hazardous to my personal safety. And I’ve been checking out the Ipanema Gisele Bündchen footwear range for a few months now…and I finally got my pair today!

Ipanema 01 Ipanema 02

Ipanema 03 Ipanema 04

These were bought at Hannah’s for NZD $50. They only had this color scheme or the neon orange in this sandal-style. I bought the sandals with the aim to be able to wear it anywhere. Including the office.

This is because my current manager, told my colleague to tell me that my old slippers aren’t “appropriate” for the office and that she has had “complaints” from a few people regarding the slippers. Right…complaints. Other employees are tramping around the building wearing black slippers and uh…yeah. Shall I lodge a complain about them for you?

Yeah, OK whatever. I’m still working on my feelings for my current manager. It’s coming along…

Anyway! With these slippers/sandals, she can’t say a word about it being “inappropriate“. Otherwise…let’s not go there…

But check it out! It’s awesome! I love it. I heart it. A lot. I expected them to be quite tough, but they are one of the most comfortable sandals/slippers I have ever worn. Now let’s hope they last until next summer.

Rawk.

It’s really stupid that Photobucket removed the old uploader for anyone who has Flash installed. I’m on Firefox 3.0.11 and it should be compatible (I think…) but it’s not. Everytime I use their stupid Flash uploader, all my images say ‘uploaded’ and when I refresh, it’s not there. I’ve been using FireUploader to go around the stupid PB problem. Anyone want to suggest a better service?

I’m looking around for a wireless mouse because my optical mouse on this laptop is slowly crapping out on me. When I want to highlight a text, the laptop thinks I’ve double-click and refuses to highlight. I’m trying to select my bookmark folder in Firefox, the stupid menu wouldn’t open because, again, it thinks I’ve double-click so refuses to open. I’m trying to insert a text in the middle of a paragraph, it selects the whole paragraph and I have to slowly move the cursor using the D-Pad. I’m just about ready to throttle the mouse itself if only it was alive. And today is only the second day it’s screwing up.

Oh yeah, my ring arrived! Be jealous, my minions, be very jealous…

Ring 01 Ring 02

Pardon the bad lighting in the first picture, hence the second. All from webcam. Now you see what I mean that it is like a wedding band? Oh well. I love it.
