Other than that I want to find something new to binge on via Netflix, and maybe play some COD.

We posted at the same time. Wow the laundry. Dang, wish I had energy for that. I want to clean up the loft. Fun! What kinds of movies do you like to watch? What is COD?

*mind boggles* There is a World Cup you say? Hehe, hehehehe.

So we did, lol. Yeah..... Laundry... Yay. v.v

I tend to like comedies. Romantic, action, horror... As long as it makes me laugh, I'll give it a shot. I actually just finished watching Glee through season 4. I feel like such a late bloomer for it too. I was all against it back when it first came out, for whatever reason, but when I was crocheting our families' Christmas presents I started playing it for background noise and wound up really enjoying it. I'm thinking about starting Fairy Tale next. I started reading it, but I'm hoping that I can get better into it animated.

COD is Call of Duty. I play COD:Black Ops and Black Ops II on the PS3. I was never a big fan of first person shooters, but I started playing just to be able to spend time with my hubs (he's totally addicted to it), then wound up enjoying myself so much that I started playing just for the heck of it. Do you play any video games?

[Lawtan]

I used to play the Battlefield Series...and I've "fanned" 100x over Neverwinter Nights (Aribeth forever!)
I tried playing Crysis, and it was fun...but no modding (game modification/add-ons by game fans) in most games is a deterrent to me.

TERA was fun when I actually played with someone (or went indie/glitchy exploring). I would like to play Rust or an indie Steampunk Airship game I found...but one is "troll if you don't have a team" and the other requires a team to even play ;_;

Ideal game: fps/Skyrim mechanics; Neverwinter/Dragon Age/Baldur's Gate storyline; Aurora/Battlecraft modding kit.

Dragon Age was one of the first games I played after I got my PS3. I absolutely LOVED it! I always find myself playing the rogue, regardless of what species I pick. <3 Also love the fact that almost everything you do has an effect on the end outcome of the game! Excuse me while I have my fangirl moment, lol.

Anyway, I've never played any of those other games. My range is pretty limited at the moment. I grew up with a Gameboy and didn't actually get a "real" console that wasn't circa late '70s (Atari 2600 and Magnavox Odyssey), until almost 2003.

I like Glee too but it was my husband who really liked it and actually put it on. If he had not then I would not have watched it just because I don't watch much TV. I put TV on as background, like I will watch Bollywood movies when I study Hindi or something.

I do not have video game reflexes. I found that out with FFX. I could never kill anything. Or get anywhere. Also I could not figure out the point of it all. But it was so pretty! So then I tried a kids game...Spyro the Dragon or whatever. But I could not get all the gems. I was bummed. That is my game experience. So then I used the Playstation to play DVDs.

[Kilala Mikal]

Glee really appealed to my inner choir geek, haha. I was in chorus all throughout middle and high school. I LOVED it. <3 Although, we didn't have all THAT much drama, hehe. All we have is Netflix right now. The only thing we used cable for was the little kids shows for my son, so we did away with it.

I miss FFX! I had it, then I moved and it got lost between place a and place b. FFX-2 was even prettier! I loved the Dress Spheres (although a lot of FF fans will find the fact that I like FFX-2 blasphemous. The guy at GameStop called it Barbie Doll Dress Up the day I bought it, lol).

And "kids games" aren't always that easy either. I loved Spyro for the PS1, but it took me FOREVER to get good at it. I'm not like my hubs, who can adapt to any game near flawlessly and kick butt instantly. I have to keep at it and die fifty billion times before I actually get somewhere. XD

My favorite type of background noise is random music. I listen to just about EVERYTHING (with the exception of polka. That is not something that appeals to me. >.<). In a typical session on Spottify I'll hear country, showtunes, 90's pop, 80's hair metal, a bit of rap, disney themesongs, today's top 40 hits, back to country. It's wonderful. <3

[Umaeril]

I have never thought of listening to everything at once! Novel idea. I agree about polka, but I also do not listen to country or pop music.

I just got my new boy doll usps so I am going to open him and maybe take some pictures. *hops around all happy*

And I am glad to hear you have had some similar issues with playing games. I felt sort of like I was a failure at them, but I did actually enjoy what I was doing so the gain was mine overall. :]

[Kilala Mikal]

I have my set lists for different moods, but for an overall good mood, I run the gamut, haha. Right now I've got Glee Radio on Pandora going. What kinds of music do you enjoy?

I hope you're going to post pictures of him! I love the cover photo you're using for fb, by the way. Your BJDs are so pretty.

Have you ever tried Little Big Planet for the PS3? It is so adorable and fun! Starting off, it doesn't take too much coordination, and you can edit your sackperson much like on an Av site. I love it. <3 <3

*sneaks into corner and hides*

[Kilala Mikal]

*sneaks over to Law and offers a box, blanket and pillows, or hollow tree/shrubbery to hide in*

*whispers, "Now you have your own hidey place."*

*sneaks back to regular spot in le thread*

[Lawtan]

*whispers, "Thanks."
*sets up thread hidey-hole*

[Kilala Mikal]

Ohh...for my Hell-Pirate...same highlighted item

[Umaeril]

That is a superb background Lawtan! The ground, everything! So how you doing today?

Hi Kilala, I should have stopped by here yesterday but I was just mindlessly working on an avatar. That is what I do when I work late. Anyhow, I got my boy doll, you saw his piccie, Marcus, lol...what a name. Anyhow, I don't have a playstation anymore, we got a real dvd player, lol. Whatcha up to today?

[Kilala Mikal]

It's all good, lol. I've been trying my damnedest to get this hair to work right. I've got my contest av just about ready, I'm just needing one more hair item to make it perfect! It's soooooooooooooooooooooooooo frustrating! *flails* And I know which hair item I want, I just don't have the runes for it. I wound up buying Charming Coiffure, and I'm wanting to use the red version of the second pose AND the red and white long hair from the last pose. I've tried several different common items, but I'm just not satisfied with the way it looks... I wasted so much aurum in the shops yesterday, haha.

He's wonderful. <3 Any ideas what you want to do with him? What all do you think you'll be changing out on him?

And awww... I was hoping for someone to play LBP with, haha.

Today, I'm piddling around the house. My hubs got let go early today from his current assignment, so I'm anxious for him to get home and explain what's going on. He says he's supposed to be going back tomorrow though... Sooooooo... yeah...

How about you? How are you today?
