While I normally post a YouTube video for Favorite Friday, this one is just too good to pass up. Joss Whedon created a mini-series that is currently playing on the internet. I believe it is also available for purchase on iTunes. Believe me, it is worth every penny to buy it. http://www.drhorrible.com/
Watch it. Love it.
My sister has a form of hemophilia so she has to wear medical id bracelets all the time. I've been debating whether or not I should get one due to my allergy to penicillin. It's pretty important that, if I'm unconscious, the doctors know not to give me any of the -cillin antibiotics. However, I've never gotten around to getting an ID bracelet for it. Maybe I can find a pretty one for me. ^_^
The Sultan's Labyrinth is a hidden object game where the goal is to find an appropriate suitor for the Sultan's daughter. Each prince must solve a number of puzzles in order to prove his worthiness. To be completely honest, I didn't play this game. My daughter did. I watched. However, she had no problems with any of the puzzles. The hidden object pieces were mostly based on matching the shadows with the objects and there were puzzles where you had to put shaped pieces together to make a larger shape. None of the puzzles were very difficult but they were still interesting and fun. All in all, a good game.

I want to know more about you Gonna rock with you…right now About the song: BoA got a little more rock and roll with this song. While her songs are almost always good, they frequently have a typical pop sound. Rock With You relies more on drums, synthesizers and a throbbing bass. The result is a great dance song with the added benefit of BoA's strong vocals.
I was shopping for some new shoes online over the weekend when I came across these Ecco shoes. Some of them are really nice but I think I prefer the children's shoes over the adult shoes. (The children's shoes are for my daughter, of course.) I just think a lot of the adult ones look boring and I have trouble spending large amounts of money on footwear that will inevitably wear out. Maybe I'll try a pair anyway. Who knows, maybe they are the best shoes ever and worth the price tag.
Title: Honey & Clover
Broadcast dates: 1/8/08 - 3/18/08
Genre: Romance, Slice of Life
Cast: Narumi Riko, Ikuta Toma, Harada Natsuki, Mukai Osamu, Narimiya Hiroki
Plot: A group of art students try to make sense of life and love.
What is good: The characters seem a bit more human this time around.
What is bad: The first half of the show is still pretty boring plot-wise.
Letter rating: B -
Overall: I've now watched the anime version, the movie version and the TV version of this franchise. Of those three, the television series is definitely the best version. I believe that is because the writers gave a little more humanity and depth to the characters. Ikuta Toma, who played Takemoto Yuta, is a great comedic actor. As such, he was able to make all the crappy things that happen to his character seem a bit less apocalyptic but the big changes still had a big impact. Also, Narumi Riko's Hagu has a lot less creepy than any of the other versions. I'm not sure how she did it but she took a very creepy, little-girl-looking character and transformed her into a shy woman who is plopped into a strange new world. So, while I'm still not a huge Honey and Clover fan, I'd definitely watch this version more than once.
Awhile ago, I talked about pimple problems I was having. Well, luckily, they are gone now. I just make sure that my face is clean and that I don't touch it all the time. However, here are some acne treatment reviews in case you need a little more help with your acne. After all, no one wants a gross face full of pimples, right?
Here's the trailer for the Max Payne movie:
Ah, Carrie. How she has grown. First she was a babysitter. Then she was a preschool teacher. Now she is a camp counselor. The gameplay is the same as the other two. Drop the waiting kids to their seats, bring them the things they need, hang their finished project (in this case, tie-dyed shirts) to dry. The most complicated part of the game is trying to get everything done before the kids get angry.
I found this version to be more enjoyable than the preschool version. The things you were asked to deliver to the children made sense. You weren't asked to do things that they could do themselves. There are also some slight additions to the game. Some of the tables have two seats. Those tables require two people to be seated before they will start the project. If you don't have two children available, you can pull another counselor in to help the child. I didn't find it particularly necessary though. You know that those tables need two children so you just try to wait until you have two children. Otherwise, sit them at the one-person tables. Not a difficult task.
This series isn't my favorite time management game but this particular one isn't terrible. I wouldn't plan on wasting a lot of time on it though.
I do lame things when I'm bored. There are times that I will pick a random city in the US and look at what sorts of jobs are being advertised on Monster.com there. It kinda ends up being a sort of game. This week's browsing was jobs in Chicago. I don't have any sort of desire to live in Chicago but it gives me an interesting look at the city. You should try it sometime!
