tour of popcap games

I found this video on YouTube that shows off PopCap's 3rd floor a little. (I will be working on the 2nd floor though.)

how could she be saying that?!

So I was listening to some old schoo' No Doubt today and it reminded me of a story. Soon after I turned sixteen I asked my crush out on a date. I can't remember who I doubled with, but while me and my date and the other couple were sitting in the car (mid-date) my date started talking about me by name as if I were not myself. So let's pretend my name is "Tom Cruise", the conversation went kinda like this:

My Date: So the other day in chemistry "Tom Cruise" did the weirdest thing...

Me: Huh?!

My Date: Oh wait! You're "Tom Cruise"!! I feel so stupid!!

Me: Wow. Get out of my car you hobo.

I made up that last part and kind of made up the first part because I can't remember exactly how the dialog went, but she mentioned me in a story without realizing I was me. I was kind of let down! This was my crush I was taking out for the first time! Needless to say, I wasn't too interested in this girl after that date. Jerk.

On a more positive note, I am on a roll. I've played volleyball twice the last two Saturdays and a long couple of games of basketball tonight--I almost died a couple of times. I am SO out of shape. I thought I'd fair better since I have hanged pretty well with the volleyball... I forgot that you have to run in basketball. Dang. I scored a bunch though so that is awesome.

enjoying valentine's day

The Wife really did good today with her Valentine's Day gift to me. Back on my mission a good friend of mine (a fellow Elder) drew me an awesome picture of the Tree of Life. Up until today it sat in a degrading poster frame. Now it shines in this (sorry, I couldn't get a good shot with my office lighting and iPhone camera):

Also Big and Little Sons were having a BLAST playing "Just Dance for Kids" (their Valentine's Day gift from The Wife). Check out this video to see how they boogie (it gets good in the middle and watch Big Son at the very end):

Like I said, I think The Wife did great... now the ball's in my court.

kinected for good

Today Big Son and I finally opened the XBox and Kinect. This is the result:

We were playing a game where we were on a raft and had to jump around. You wouldn't know from these pictures, but the games are SUPER fun and quite amazing. My legs are feeling it too (but that's not saying much).
