Day 29: Alliteration
Birthdays and Batman
The birthday fairy visited our home yesterday to celebrate
the birth of my favorite little man. He
requested bacon, eggs, and gold coins for dinner. He also asked to play Lego Batman and totally
made me feel completely inadequate as he guided me through each level with
ease. Because he is a generous little
person, he let me play as Batman and I chuckled as the lego version of the dark
knight followed behind Robin as we jumped platforms and built
contraptions. We told my son he could do
anything he wanted with the family on his day, and he chose to play video games
with his mom. There are a lot of things
that I am failing miserably at this phase in my life, but I think I am
doing alright with raising this kid (the jury is still out on the other one).

Today I am leaving Bakersfield for the Bay Area and will be
gone for three full days. My heart aches
that I am leaving the hubs and kiddos behind.
Several people have inquired about the “plan” while I am traveling and
I happily reported that turn-based games Carcassonne and Agricola have been
added to our digital devices by the hubs.
After yapping on for a few moments, I realized that the intention of
this question was not about my plan to keep up my gameplay while I travel. So truth time, we don’t have a plan. All we have is trust. Well trust and a strategy that we will keep playing
video games, even while we are apart, and that everything will be okay. If you find that as you read that last line,
you are shaking your head from side-to-side, just remember, it is technically
none of your business, and you are being super judgy right now.
RL Romance (so
ominous)
It is a little over a week until Valentine’s Day and if you
read this blog you know that subtly is not in my arsenal. In case I forgot about the looming holiday,
the 50 Shades trailer that shows on every Hulu show I watch reminds me in
regular intervals (vomit). I am thinking
of re-posting my blog from last month about why it is great to send gear and not roses to your fellow gamer. I am
torn because maybe sometimes it is good to send the guy in your life
flowers. Not because consumer culture
deems that you should, in fact we are told all women want jewelry and flowers
by every commercial currently running on Hulu (FYI big ole lie). So to challenge gender norms, to support
small business, to have something pretty blooming in the house maybe I should
send my husband roses. But just so I am
being totally clear, I fully expect and desire to receive gear in my Diablo 3 mailbox on Valentine’s Day. I would also
not object to a clean house in RL with that gear.
Wil Wheaton & other Blog Updates
As soon as I arrive back from my trip this weekend we will
start playing Grim Fandango on the PS4. The
blog received a twitter challenge by another couple to defend the Ticket to
Ride title and I will post the outcome soon. The hubs is open to guest blogging again but
I need to come up with some questions.
If the two people who read this blog have anything they want him to write
about, please tweet or write in the comment section below.
Most importantly, I have not heard anything new about Wil Wheaton coming to Bakersfield. I went to mass yesterday and added Wil's visit to my silent intentions. What did you do today to get Wil to B-town? What should we be doing? How can we make this happen?
I think John should write his perspective of playing games with you. Does he "let" you win or is it til the death if you are playing against one another? What's his fantasy game? What would a game be like if you and he were the characters?
ReplyDeleteThanks Kris, lots of good questions. John pick a few and start your next guest blog.
