Long Week

This has been a very long week for me. I’m pretty much dead at this point and feel like a walking zombie.  I glad the weekend is here to finally be able to relax by getting some work done.

Mario Kart

Picked up Mario Kart for the wii.  No real impressions yet since I’ve only done 1 50cc circuit so far.  Only thing I’ve noticed so far is that I’ve missed the first turn of every race.  I keep hitting the directional pad instead of turning the wheel.  Need to get rid of some old habits.
My friend code is 0087-2707-0051

E-junkie

Painting

Here’s a little tip I’m learning the hard way. If you ever want to have the entire interior of your house painted, don’t. It is a major nightmare and something I’ll never do again. Have the place painted before you move in and then only do one room at a time after [...]

MarioKart DS

MarioKart DS finally came out today.  It’s the game I’ve been waiting for since I bought my DS last christmas.  So far it hasn’t disappointed.  I’ve played through all 8 cups (all that I have at this point) at the 50cc level.  The cups are broken into 2 Grand Prix, the Nitro and Retro.  Nitro [...]
