Pirates and Video Games!

Having a blog is sort of like having one of those virtual pets, like those little nano or gigapets that came out a few years back. Nothing will happen if I don't post things on here, but I feel I have some type of quasi-commitment to it. Like every once in a while I should dedicate the time. But at the same time, what if I don't? Nothing will *actually* happen. I have to laugh at the situation a little, but alas, I sit here writing.. :)
So anyway, the boy and I tried to see Pirates 3 at the drive in. We went and stocked up on snacks, brought a few brews, and we were ready for a nice, romantic, fun night. Then it starts to pour just as we were pulling in. I mean POUR. We attempted the movie for a bit, then decided it will be much better when we can actually see it. And hear it. Although from the little we did see.. looks a bit stranger than the first two. But we decided that we will make a later attempt sometime - so we'll see what it's like on the rain-check - no pun intended.
Today I finished up a little shopping spree. Work gave out our <sarcasm>ever-so-large </sarcasm> bonuses, and I decided to just buy a few things. Nothing really huge, just some stuff I wanted. It started late last week with a Starbucks French coffee press, cinnamon roll-flavored coffee, and clothes. Today, I ended up at Sally's Boutique buying way too much there, and I ventured to EBgames with two DS games following me home: Brain Boost (which seems kind of lame so far) and Trace Memory which I have not yet played, but seems to have a cool plot from what I've read. I also found out that later this month they will be releasing Big Brain Academy for the Wii. Excuse me while I get a tissue for the drool........ Ok, I'm back. Then I was looking at the DS lite. Yeah, I want one :( I have a DS and EB will buy it from you for $40 normally, but they are running a special until the 17th that they'll buy it for $60. Do I need a Dlite? Nope. Does that make the decision easier? Nope :)
