Happy New Years! as well as Happy Geo Popper Year!
Game on! blog resolutions:
Up the blog posts to 2 or 3 week (I'd say daily, but that's just crazy talk)
Monthly contests with fabulous prizes/coupons
More talk about the potential of games
Instead of the normal gifts this Christmas, I gave Christmas coupons. My nephew received a share in Playcadia. Another less fortunate nephew received a coupon entitling him to a personalized message from mwah on his answering machine. He was really, really unimpressed. There was the usual donation to the Human Fund as well as a donation to an actual charity (is this evidence of maturity?) Perhaps the most exciting coupon was a feature guest post in my blog, won by my brother Stevo. With a sharp sense of humor and an interest in games, sports, Coco..., the readers are in for a treat! (I just hope he redeems it!)
Everything's going to be alright
Something disturbing happened the other day, that makes me thing sometimes not everything is going to be alright. While playing a lovely Sports mix on Kinect, my sister was attempting a world record discus throw. A young nephew walked by, so she paused ensuring she didn't hit him. After he passed, she wound up and swung, just as her 1-1/2 year old son walked by, completely knocking him to the ground. The crying eventually stopped, but how traumatizing for the little guy:( The only redeeming thing was that he was not seriously hurt and Kinect shows the replay. It was horrible and hilarious at the same time:/
Zorro's corner
Zorro's been pretty quiet lately, maybe he's letting his clothes make the noise. On Christmas, he wore a tie that played Christmas music (purchased at the dollar store). When he left, he forgot the tie. When my brother was leaving, a relative said she didn't know who the tie belonged too, but correctly assumed it belonged to my dad.
