Dad Update, Ghost Hunters and Rock Band

Dad Update
Dad ran fever again last night and today. Mom's meeting with the doctors and the patient liaison tomorrow. She's hoping they'll either put an oncologist on his care or send him home so he can restart his chemo. It the fever is caused by the lymphoma, we're hoping he can come home soon and begin treatment again.

Ghost Hunters
New Ghost Hunters tonight. Can't wait.

Rock Band
My Rock Band 2 came in tonight. I can use my Guitar Hero III guitar with it, by the way. The Rock Band guitar looks very cool, but wasn't in the mood to put everything together tonight. So, I tried with my Guitar Hero guitar and it worked fine. So far, I like the Guitar Hero graphics better, but the actual "playing" seems more intuitive to me on Rock Band than on Guitar Hero. Can't wait to play with a whole "band."

Really? At CVS?

I popped into CVS this afternoon to buy some eyeliner and bread and look what I found for $49.99...

Blow it up, real good

I Blame Farm Town

This blog is temporarily crippled by my obsession with the Farm Town application on Facebook. That's my farm up there. If you don't play Farm Town, you're thinking,"That's a farm? That's why you're not blogging? Lame-o!!"

If you play Farm Town, you're thinking, "Coooool."

Sitting

I've been sitting here all day waiting for DirectTV to install my satellite. They have called me, no exaggeration, five times this week and e-mailed me three times confirming my appointment and giving me fifteen different ways to contact them if I needed to change my appointment. My "appointment" was for anytime between noon and 4:00 p.m. It is now 5:20 p.m.

I disconnected all my Time Warner cable boxes at 9:30 a.m. and I'm sick of reading and sick of surfing the net. I didn't want to watch my NetFlix and have to stop it in the middle and I'm too pissed off to play Wii or clean house.

However, here's a shiny little surprise I found while being bored out of my skull. Lemmings! I love Lemmings. Click here to play.

Note: Sometimes the game below is replaced with a message that reads "HOTLINKED FROM VENUSARCADE.COM", which sort of makes it look like I copied it without permission or something. The Venusarcade.com page is where I got the code to put the game here and, as you can see, there's a link to Venusarcade.com in the code.

Keep trying back, because sometimes the game actually appears and it's a great time waster, if you're into that sort of thing.

This one's for Carly...

My friend Carly and I are totally addicted to our Nintendo DS Lites. This is Cory testing his brain age while holding Ava. He's multi-talented.

My Brain Has an Age

I bought myself a present. It's the Nintendo DS Lite. I also bought the game Brain Age which is supposed to make me smarter.

When you first play the game, it tells you how old your brain is. My brain is 80 years old. However, my alter ego LuLu has a brain age of 55. I knew that bitch was smarter than me.

Stupid Frogs

It's nice to know that some things never change. I'm still as spastic as I ever was at Frigger...uh, I mean...Frogger.

Click here to play more 80's arcade games. They say they're 80's arcade games but I definitely played some of these in the 70's. Yeah, I sucked back then, too.

The only things I could play with any degree of success on my son's first Nintendo were Excitebike and Kung Fu and, even at 7 years old, he always kicked my ass.

Edited 10/6 to add:
HOW TO USE THE SKATEBOARD: To use the skateboard, your hamster has to encounter one as he's flying through the air. Then, the game puts the skateboard in an inventory at the top right hand corner of the screen. If you can make your hamster approach the ground in a semi-vertical position, as it nears the ground, the skateboard will appear and your hamster will coast a few extra feet.
