I’m crazy tired today because my little guy didn’t sleep at all last night. He’s all stuffed up and when ever he drifted off he would toss and turn and wake back up again. So yeah… got only a few hours of sleep last night.

zzzzzz….

So lets have some sleep questions today.

Do you sleep with the blankets right up to your head or are you a “blankets are evil” person? Do you like to have light sheets or do you enjoy the weight of lots of cozy blankets?

Me? I generally pull them right up to or over my head and I love to have the weight lots and lots of blankets. Mmmm…. sleep..

gonna go he me some…

Well Halloween has come and gone.  Did you dress up at all?  Go to a party?  Sit at home and stuff your face with candy?  We have a costume contest at work every year.  Once again I didn’t do any thing… I had planned a great costume but I failed to get all the pieces I needed.  I’m not once to get all costumed up, but if I was going to I would want the costume to be perfect with lots of details.  You know… make it really worth it.  So next year I’ll see if I can make it.  Maybe I’ll document the process of it since I’ll have to make some pieces of it.

Anyway… I stayed at home and gave out candy to the little witches and monsters.  They’re so cute ^_^  It bugs me when the older kids dress up though.  Most just put on a Jason mask with a hoodie and go door to door.  Maybe next year I’ll only do the little ones and not give candy to the older kids.  Although… I don’t want my house to get egged.

Damn kids.

Guh… am I tired…

Last night I was up until about 1am playing Mega Man ZX Advent for DS.  I was trying to finish it.  I failed (haven’t given up though).  It reminded me of past times I’ve stayed up playing games.

A number of years ago I found a used copy of Batman for NES and played it till 2am trying to beat the Joker.  I remember I beat him when I was younger on a two day rental.  How I did it before I have no idea because no matter how hard I played I just couldn’t do it.

The first time I ever stayed up playing games was way back in public school when I sneaked staying up to play Mega Man 2 on a school night.  It was around 3 in the morning when I finished it.  Man, I was so happy.  I’ll never forget it or how tired I was the next day.

Fun times. ^_^

bed now…

It snowed today!  YAY!!!!

I love snow.  Always have, always will.  I think it’s funny when I’m all “yay snow” and others around me complain and say they hate it.

…

Do you know what country you live in? o_O

Nope, snow doesn’t bother me one bit.  When I shovel it, it’s a nice quite time alone, a bit of a workout and a great time to get lost in some thoughts.  I love the quite that snow brings to the world.  Everything becomes soft and silent.  It did snow a bit early this year and it most likely won’t stay, but that’s okay.  See, I am a bit bummed that it snowed because my kids are going to have to get super bundled up to go trick or treating.  That sucks.

Oh well, you can’t control the weather.  My daughter will just have to be a princess going out in a snow storm or something ^_^

Have you ever bought a game and never finished it?  How about never even got around to playing it.

I have a stack of games that fit both those categories.  Here’s my list…

-Unfinished-
Paper Mario: The Thousand Year Door
Super Swing Golf
Super Mario Galaxy
Mario Kart Wii
Katamari Damacy
Shadow of the Colossus
Super Smash Bros Melee

-Unplayed-
Metal Gear Solid 2
Metal Gear Solid 3
Super Paper Mario Wii
Killer 7

I actually picked up Paper Mario: The Thousand Year Door again last week after a year of not playing it.  I’m now pretty close to the end of it.  I will finish my lists… one day…

Went and to a clinic today about my toe.  Nice lady doctor said that it isn’t broken, but I do have micro tears in the tendons.  I’m supposed to keep off it as much as possible as it’ll probably take about 8 weeks to heal.  She gave me a prescription for some anti inflammatory drugs and recommend I get an x-ray done and set me up with some places that will do it.  Also, after the x-ray she said I should bandage up the toe with the one next to it and use it as a splint.  That will help with the healing process.

That’s pretty much it really.  I’m glad it’s not busted.

I’m also glad that Canada has a decent health care system. ^_^

I’ll update again once the x-ray as been done.
