Best Game & Video

As I write this, it is simply 46 minutes since July 19th has ended. It was a pretty great day, and for no big, exciting reason. Just a couple of small, good reasons. July 20th has been pretty decent as well.

• At work I moved a family from a drive-up (kind of old), into the main hotel (renovated in the past couple of months). First he said he wouldn't forget it. When he came back to drop off the keys from his former room, he handed me a $20 bill. I can count the amount of times I've gotten tips working at the front desk: $2 for bringing up a corkscrew to a room, $10 to split with a co-worker one morning when checking someone out, $5 for bringing a bucket of ice outside to someone, and $20 for switching someone's room. Since the money is much needed, I'm quite happy about it.



• Mozza sticks. They need no explanation.



• Big Brother is ready and waiting for me on the DVR!



• Saturday night I watched Degrassi Takes Manhattan. I love Degrassi: The Next Generation, as I mentioned in yesterday's Getting To Know You. Of course I loved the movie, as unrealistic (and creepy - eg part about Declan and his sister Fiona) it was. I DVRed the new season of Degrassi, and just got home to see that there were 3 new episodes tonight for me to watch : )


And see if this doesn't make you smile:




• And last, but maybe my favorite: The Best Game in the World.

It is called Bloons Tower Defense 4. Basically, you buy random monkeys, and cannons and other means of shooting to pop 'Bloons' Before they get to the end of the track. It starts off simple but soon you've got all kinds of 'bloons' coming out, and each color is worse than the next. Red is normal. Every other color has at least one more 'bloon' inside, some 20, and they speed out. Each time you bust one, you get more money to upgrade and buy more weapons.

I spent all night at work playing it (honestly, from at least 7 until midnight, with some job interruptions) and I still want to play again now that I'm home. Don't play it unless you have the time to get addicted.

But if you do, let me know what you think : )

GTKY - More Sunday Fun

It's Sunday again (already!) Time for MannLand5's 'Getting to Know You', the one weekly thing that's stuck with me the most. Head on over to Keely's blog if you want to play and link up.

1. If you had to choose a country to live in besides USA (or the country you live in), which would it be?
I live in Canada and I think I would probably pick some place in Europe, but since I haven't been to any of these places before, it's really hard to hypothetically pick a place to live. I'm interested in Italy the most, and I really don't have a specific reason why, I'm just curious.

2. Which would be worse, wearing flip flops in the snow or wearing gloves in the summer?
Flip flops in the snow. Gloves in the summer would suck, but I don't think it would cause permanent damage like like toes freezing and falling off. As long as I don't have to wear the rest of the winter outfit (boots, coat, snowpants, hat, etc.) I'm fine with the gloves.

3. Fried or Baked and why?
I'm an unhealthy girl, so of course I think fried tasted better. But really, it depends. I loved baked potatoes. I pick baked over microwaved, any day. Does that count? I love my deep fryer. I didn't love cleaning it last night though, just sayin'.

4. If you were an entertainment reporter, which celeb would you love to interview and why?
Reese Witherspoon, because she's adorable. Of Ellen Degeneres. She's so funny and it would be nice to interview her since it's usually her you see interviewing others. Or Gerard Butler because.. well, just look at him.

5. What was your favorite book as a preteen/teenager?
Probably the 'Sweet Dreams' teen romance books. I definitely read and loved 'Three's a Crowd', 'The Right Combination', and God knows there were others. Nice walk down memory lane :)

6. List your top 3 guilty pleasure television shows.
Degrassi: The Next Generation. So much Canada crammed into one wonderful, drama-filled tv show. Big Brother and The Bachelor(ette) probably count as my other two.

7. What bumper sticker slogan best describes you/your attitude/your life?
Consciousness: that annoying time between naps.

8. If you were to join a circus - what performer would you be?
I've only been to the circus once so I'm not as familiar with the positions as I'd like to be. But I think it would be fun to be a clown. I've definitely already expereience 'Clown Car Syndome' (when wayyy more people than what would seem possible pile out of a little car).

Hope you all had a fantastic weekend!
