...and a Happy New Year!  That is the sound of my doorbell and my 14month old daughter loves it.  She always wants to hit the doorbell and when it starts playing...she starts dancing to it.  Ya gotta love it.

 

I'm thinking that by the time Christmas rolls around I'll pull my hair out after having heard the tune about a million times.  This is the first time that I'm actually doing some real decorating for Christmas...its lots of fun and kind of expensive!...LOL

 

So, I've settled for some subtle decorations that really have some ooomph and then when those mega clearance sales roll around, I'll but lots more stuff!

 

On that note, if I don't get back before then....Merry Christmas and Happy New Year Everyone!!!

...is one movie I probably won't see.  Why?  Well, I keep seeing a preview and Jake Gyllenhaal's accent really stands out and confuses me.  I haven't been able to figure out why he had a British sounding accent.  I kinda figure that he should have more of an Arabic accent...since as far as I know, Persia is now known as Iran.

 

Now my Mom suggested that it comes from when Britain occupied Persia...thats an idea.  I haven't seen the movie, but is this movie taking place before that time?

 

Another reason that I probably won't see it is that I just don't see Jake Gyllenhaal in that kind of role.  I'm actually not a big fan of his in any case....but I dunno, it just doesn't work for me....and his accent doesn't help at all...LOL

 

I think maybe this movie just should have stayed a game.

 

Anyways, thats my small take.

I can't believe that I haven't made an entry since May.  I can tell you that I gave up on Harvest Moon with disgust and traded it in for another game.  That game was too frustrating and dull. 

 

I've read the Twilight book series and am eager to see the movie but my sister wants me to see it with her...the problem there is that she never has the time.  She has a busy life.  One of these days, I'm just going to have to drag her there to see it with me and hopefully, I'll make it before its no longer in theaters.

 

So, thats the most exciting thing I can think of to post....maybe I'll put some quizzes later!

 

So, I got Harvest Moon: Cute...it seems potentially addicting.  I've actually restarted the game about 3 times now since I'm pretty clueless and I have no idea what I should be doing.  Thanks to some online research, I've got a better idea.  I'm supposed to run a ranch and try to find a husband along the way.  There are also little sprites to help you when you find them.  Maybe I'll finally get a clue and not have to start over again for wasting a tons of time wandering around.

No one visits this site....so, what exactly am I doing here?  I dunno.

...and the fact that I'm not that interesting, but ever since they introduced that google search thing....all I ever see on the visitors list is google.  This tells me that pretty much no one ever visits my site, or google searchs outweigh the number of visitors that we get to their sites.  I don't need a million visitors but come on.  This was also a big way for me to discover other blogs at mindsay, I'd click people who visited my page or someone elses and it was endless journey from there.  Now, its just google.  Has anyone else noticed this?

I need something to do online....something that won't cost me money.  I find that I always find one game site or chat site after another but very few have gotten my interest for very long.  These days, I don't have anything but Mindsay and offline games.

 

Things I have done and liked: 

• Vzones (but its a pay thing I'm not online enough for it to pay off)
• Mythwar (this I liked but eventually stopped because there was a need to join in groups with people and it was hard cause I'm not online enough for people to wait for me to catch up to them in levels)
• IMVU (very cool concept, but I'm not online enough to find my friends at the right times.)
• The Palace (Met some excellent people here that I am still friends with till this day, but once it shut down, we really didn't have any place to go.
• Delphi Forums (Again met some fantastic people too, I don't get there often cause being basic bugs the heck out of me and I don't have the little funds to spare to pay)

Well, thats all the ones that I can think of at the moment....so, if you have any suggestions...Let me know!
