So it’s Thursday night and I’m indulging myself in Cap’n Crunch Berries, Cheez-its, tequila, and Friends. And of course my best friend roomie. Hmm… I feel like blogging but I don’t know what to write about. I kind of like my new blog look. I think my old one was more ‘homey,’ but this one is more wordpress friendly. The last one was kind of a wordpress hack-a-thon and this is more of an actual legit theme that won’t be affected by future wordpress versions. Score.
I’m reading up a lot on the future of Flash vs. HTML5… and I gotta say I am siding with both right now. I think HTML5 is going to be the dominant flavor for mobile devices and Flash is going to remain the platform for desktop web interactivity. Honestly, yes HTML5 has a lot going for it but there’s really no comparison as far as interactivity and animation go. You can’t put together an interactive online game with HTML5. At least, not an interesting one by today’s standards. Plus, can you do this with HTML5? I sink not.
So my friend introduced me to Web Therapy, which is a new web series starring Lisa Kudrow and it’s effing HILARIOUS improv! Check the whole series out here.
I just started watching Dancing With The Stars this season, and it’s fantastically entertaining! Except for Kate Gosselin. Bless her heart, she just shouldn’t be doing this. And I shouldn’t be living in a world where Shannon Doherty and Pam Anderson are in the bottom 2 while K8 and Buzz Lightyear are still in the running. Can I get a witness? Sigh barf.
Well, I did it. After weeks of playing in my spare time, I finally beat the first Zelda! Hmm… well, that was a little less climactic than I thought it would be. AH WELL. I BEAT IT!! Now on to Zelda II: The Adventure of Link…
The progress is slow but steady… Just beat the boss for dungeon 6! Getting ready to hit up the graveyard and get the super master sword. Look out world! I think I’m almost done with this game… then on to Zelda II
Oh how I love old Nintendo games! I recently acquired the ability to play old NES games, SNES games, N64 games, and GameCube games, and guess what I have chosen to play… ZELDA!
My goodness I love The Legend of Zelda! I’ve recently reconnected with an old classic from my youth (and also got my boyfriend hooked on it!) and am SO frustrated at how difficult this game is! It’s deceivingly simple, but we don’t think of video games the same way we used to and it’s just so much harder than you think.
So, I have decided that in my spare time I am going to beat Zelda (with NO cheating or hints!), and then move on to Zelda II, Zelda III, etc… what a wonderful use of my free time!

Cheers, and enjoy!
