If my weblog had a Frustrating Game of the Day (FGotD) feature, Ripley’s IQ Game would be it for today. The object of the game is to jump the balls over each other like you do in a checkers game until you only have one ball left. The least ball I can get so far…… Continue reading FGotD: Ripley’s IQ Game

If my weblog had a Frustrating Game of the Day (FGotD) feature, Shove It would be it for today. I’m stuck at level 4. I’m sure the solution is very, very simple but I just can’t see it. Yet. Maybe if I try playing it for another hour, I’ll be able to see it. Maybe.…… Continue reading FGotD: Shove It

It’s been a slow blogging day. Well, make it two days. And the sky hasn’t been clear for, like, ever so I’m going to miss seeing Saturn (the planet, not the car) tonight. If the sky is clear where you are, step outside tonight around 7:30pm, look up and look east. You’re bound to notice…… Continue reading Slow Blogging Day

Pad Thai is the boy’s favourite Asian food so I thought I’d try to cook us some for supper. My Pad Thai recipe is basically a bastardised version of this recipe. I put chicken livers instead of shrimps in my version because I thought it would make it more interesting. Sadly, the boy wasn’t so…… Continue reading Pad Thai

Today is your last chance to nominate your favourite blogs in the Fifth Annual Weblog Awards a.k.a. the Bloggies. The boy has casted his votes last week and, being a good boyfriend that he is, he nominated me in a couple categories. Of course I’m going to wait until the last minute to cast mine.…… Continue reading Oh the Randomness!

I’ve never ever played any videogames in my whole life until a couple of weeks ago when I started playing Mario Party 5 with the boy, for a very silly reason. See, last month I told the boy that I wanted to beat him at Halo 2. Then the boy told me that I needed…… Continue reading Mario Party 5 vs. Halo 2

(Paper Mario Sidekick II, originally uploaded by firda.) This is what you get for having a gaming geek for a boyfriend. You get to be his sidekick character in a video game. And of course you have to be a little blue dinosaur which he gets to ride on instead of, say, a princess.

Test Your Vowel Power is part of a PBS show called “Do You Speak American?”. I obviously don’t (speak American) because all my answers/guesses are wrong. I swear that the fifth word was “Troy”. Take the test and let me know how you did, especially if you are American.

Montage-a-google will search Google for images based on the keyword(s) you enter and display them as a montage. Almost all of the images it came up with when I entered my name or my weblog name seem to come from Google cache because they’re no longer online. Interesting project nonetheless.

I got my love of music from my mother. I know a lot of oldies songs because of her. She liked to listen mostly to songs from the 60s. I like to think that it was because they brought back happy memories to her. There have been at least three occasions while I’m here in…… Continue reading My Mother and Music
