When Gaming is Good

Posted by Ami-chan on September 29, 2008

We’ve been playing Rifts with a few of our friends for a couple of months now. The game has always been really, really good, in part because the GM has such knowledge of the Palladium universe and is a born actor and orator and story teller. However, last night’s game was above and beyond.
It’s [...]

 Self Portrait Sunday

Posted by Ami-chan on September 28, 2008

Guess what we’ve been doing?

It’s not finished yet. Guess what other two colors I’m going to put into it?
I’m posting the picture first thing so that I remember, as I’ve missed Self Portrait Sunday the past couple of weeks and also because my Mum is coming over this morning and we’ll probably go [...]

 I’m for Obama

Posted by Ami-chan on September 27, 2008

I may as well go ahead and say it. I feel it’s a bit like my religious views. Why should I be ashamed I’m a witch? Why should I feel the need to hide my political affiliation? I’d been leaning towards Obama for some time now because all I really saw from McCain was waffling [...]

 Weekend Getaways

Posted by Ami-chan on September 26, 2008

I think I’ve talked about going to Branson before, but perhaps it was on my other blog. I was intrigued the first time I heard about them because I had no idea there was so much to do up there. They have a theme park, I’m so used to theme parks really just being Orlando [...]

 I Kick Butt

Posted by Ami-chan on September 23, 2008

It’s been a while since I’ve felt that way but today I think it’s definitely justified.
Roomie has reading assignments each week in college. Over the weekend she was focussed on a research paper and left the article reading until today so that she could get the paper done and turned in. Come to find out [...]

 Yard Work

Posted by Ami-chan on September 20, 2008

With the past hurricanes in our area, such as they were, we did actually get some damage to our property, in the form of a tree that was in the side yard near the fire pit falling over. We borrowed my father-in-law’s chainsaw to cut it down, but in the end my husband was able [...]

 Health Again

Posted by Ami-chan on September 19, 2008

I’m having another one of those times where I’m feeling sorry for myself with regards health. So, I thought writing out some of the things I’ve done might stop me from feeling the need to read diet pill reviews and contemplate ordering some and taking an unnecessary and risky short cut.
I’ve lost 10 pounds [...]

 Renovation and Family Update

Posted by Ami-chan on

I finally found the picture I was going to post last Sunday:

Which I think is really cute even if I do say so myself. Roomie and I are planning on dyeing hair over the weekend, although I actually got compliments at the grocery store during the week from the people who were operating [...]

 Almost Complete

Posted by Ami-chan on September 16, 2008

Our house renovations are almost complete. Today the last of the plaster was done. Roomie and I started the plastering over the weekend, hence me forgetting to post for Self Portrait Sunday. I actually got a shot taken and everything, I’ll probably post it tomorrow just because it was a cute shot with Roomie and [...]

 Red Ring of Death

Posted by Ami-chan on September 12, 2008

Unfortunately for us our XBox 360 has succumbed to the red ring of death phenomena. We found an interesting tutorial on Youtube which indicated that wrapping the XBox in towels for 20 minutes can some times fix the problem, and that actually worked! The first two times, since then the XBox has begun flashing the [...]
