Weather weather weather
Wow, The Weather Authority (WKRC-TV) Stormboard has finally started hopping! I've been watching it obsessively for the last few weeks, hoping people would start having interesting things to say about possible interesting weather (i.e. SNOW!).

Things just kinda POPPED starting yesterday! I had lots of threads to read through. So much speculation about possible storms. I waver between wanting to believe and wondering if we really will get any big snowstorms. I LOVE snow!

But oh wait. How good was that roof repair after last January's snow/sleet/freezing rain mess that leaked into our living room? We've had very heavy rains and it's held. But snow. I always love lots of snow. But lots of it lying there up on the flat roof...I never worried about that before last winter. ::sigh::

Well, we'll just see what happens. I do want it to finally be real winter!

Today so far
Ahahaha! I haven't gotten much done yet. I had breakfast and tried to catch up on reading tweets. I had to skim, as I'd let a couple days go by!

I got my ukulele strings today that I'd bought on sale from Elderly Instruments. One set was mislabeled--I had ordered Aquila low-g sopranos, and they sent me high-g tenors. I phoned them, and they'll be sending out the right ones for me. I asked what to do with the tenors; and they said just keep them, that it wouldn't be worth the postage to return them! I've dealt with Elderly many times over the years, and I've always been very pleased with their products and service. :-)

Now I'm online, catching up on Ukulele Underground and YouTube and email.

Oooo yeah, a day or so ago I bought a UU baby tee in brown! I can't wait!

Cat'r will be over later. We'll probably play a board game and/or card game at some point. And I think I'm going over to his place to play some Rock Band too.

Geekend: Dragon Age
Dragon Age: Origins

Dragon Age: Origins

So remember how last Geekend I was talking about how not to remake a game for modern gamers? Well, this week we’re going to talk about something remarkably similar. In that way that’s completely different.

First things first: When I went to pick up Dragon Age: Origins in EB the other day I was horrified by two things. The first was the price, AU$109.99, which is expensive even for overpriced Australia. The second was the fact that it was distributed by EA. After that awful “Sin 2 Win” wank earlier this year, I swore that I couldn’t in good conscience continue to buy games from EA.i At the time I made this rash vow, it didn’t occur to me that they’d be producing anything I really wanted to play. I’m kinda over The Sims and SPORE was such a bust, and I don’t play FPSes or sports games. So no EA, no problem, right?

Sadly, I didn’t take DA:O into account.

  1. I realise that EA “apologised” for this contest, but nonetheless I have problems with that, too. It was one of those “so ’sorry’ you were offended, you fun-ruining feminazis” apologies rather than an actual “yeah, we fucked up” really-real apology. ↩

Christmas is coming!
We bought a new Christmas tree this year, almost a month ago! It's a table-top fiber optic tree--beautiful!

So tonight we put up our tree (on the stereo) and put the wreath on the door! Yay! We've begun our decorating! Over the course of the next few days I plan to get the decorations out for the rest of the house.




current mood: excited

My first Christmas video
This little ditty jumped into my head a few days ago and wrote itself in about five minutes--can you tell?! LOL! Anyway, I hope you like it! Lyrics below the video:


Santa please bring me an ukulele
A Watermelon or Kiwi would do
A Mainland would be even better
I trust that you know what to do

A Fluke or Flea’d be great
Ohana can’t be beat
KoAloha in koa would really be a treat

So Santa please bring me an ukulele
I’ve tried to be good this year
I really mean it!
I’ve tried to be good all year!
