did you eat your Gobble Gobble?
Nov. 25th, 2007 07:47 amso, Turkey Day came and went without a hitch! and i enjoyed it... let's try to make this brief. emphasis on the try... i really do write and talk too much.
anyways! for the weekend, went eastward to Walnut, the land of Filipinos and Where the Relatives Reside. and it's funny, 'cause most of my family apparently flew to the Philippines recently, so only the people who had kids in high school (or younger) were still there. which is actually not that many people, surprisingly. but anyway, we got picked up by our uncle and cousin (we were gonna go on an adventure by taking the bus over there, but my sister totally chickened out on me) and drove all the way over there... and our other cousin, who wasn't home and was actually working at the time, apparently has Guitar Hero 3 and Rock Band. so we went over there to abduct the games...
but alas. my cousin is clearly insane. for one thing, we didn't realize that he'd gotten these things for the PS3, which he now apparently has. so we thought, maybe we'll abduct the console, too! but we couldn't get the fool thing unplugged. there are like, 5 billion plugs for the ps3, it seems like, and my cousin is insane because he had it hooked up to a HD PLASMA TV. and when we called him to ask how in the hell we're supposed to uproot the little monster, he said not to because he "couldn't stand to see it hooked up to normal TV." how spoiled is he?! i mean WOW. so we had to replug it (which i apparently messed up a bit, hehehe) and then just started playing Rock Band there.
and omg, FUN MUCH? the guitar is quite different from the Guitar Hero ones, so that took some getting used to (and we didn't dare try to use the meedleymeedleymeedley buttons near the base of the neck, they're so small!). the drums are awesome, and the mic? THE MIC IS SO COOL. i just find the fact that it actually judges how you sing the song to be simply AMAZING. it's better than a freaking karaoke machine!! by like, leaps and bounds! and we were singing, um, Black Hole Sun, and Here It Goes, and Celebrity Hole, and Ballroom Blitz (which we tried to sing like Tia Carrera, it was quite funny), and just, gah, it was soooo much fun.
and we made a band. so, like, we made little characters and everything. and mine is named Karma, and she's the guitarist for our great band, THE MEDIUMS. yes, that's right. THE MEDIUMS, because that's pretty much the only level we could play on. XD it stuck. ... oh shush, we think it sounds awesome.
but anyway, aside from that... we had turkey. we ate us some Gobble Gobble turkey, and it was delicious. and our aunt had been kinda nervous about it, 'cause she's not usually the one who cooks! but everybody's in the Philippines, so... what could we do? she was nervous and excited, and it came out really good, and that gravy was fantastic... it would have been so good if we had mashed potatoes though. but we're Filipinos, so we'll make do with our rice. ^_^
after dinner, we went right back to Rock Band. XD y'know, after several hours straight of wielding the "axe of rock", my left wrist was starting to hurt. what is that, carpal tunnel? i hope not!! TT - TT but whatever, it was still fun. and we were up playing it until like, 3 am, and then we all passed out. at least we woke up in time for elevensies.
but then, unfortunately, we had to go back to LA. we borrowed a car, though! so now, where we were previously without a car and having trouble getting around, the trouble is averted! and my sister totally took advantage of that time to go run errands, which i was dragged to... but oh well. our apartment is becoming prettier and prettier all the time! :D
in more recent news, we watched Mr. Magorium's Wonder Emporium the other night (since sister's denying me Enchanted until wednesday). IT'S SO CUTE, i love Dustin Hoffman in it, he's all bumbling and adorable! and the monkey doll that wants to be hugged... i loved that monkey doll, it was too cute for words~
and also in other news: yaaaaaaaaaaaay for .hack! i think i'm almost done with vol.1... i'm gonna have to borrow vol.2 from somebody. i ain't buyin' it! you can't make me!
so anyways. see all that? omg, i babbled again. anyways, that's all i've got for now. so... um... TTFN, ta ta for now! ^_^
