winter break #3 (gaming)

what has taken up a good chunk of my time these past two weeks? three little discs named final fantasy 13. i've been meaning to beat this game for a few months now (i actually started last april) and now seem liked the perfect time to invest time into it.

people usually give video games a hard time, but RPGs (role playing games) are very similar to books in the sense that you're having a story unravel, but with upgradeable characters. more engaging.

anyway, good game, sad ending, people die. would play again. in ten years.

time for a movie?

winter break #2 (reading)

so, after watching the third Narnia film, i decided i wanted to read the series over Christmas break. granted, this is not the most stimulating material for a third year social science major to read, i feel like it is a classic and great for light LIGHT reading. besides, who wants to be reading naomi klein's 'the shock doctrine' after taking six classes [ecology anyone?]?

finished the first one a few days ago, hope to finish the second one soon.

i'll probably read these to my kids are something.

anyway, i'm gonna go play some video games...

winter break #1 (eating)

okay okay, i realize KD is not quickly associated with typical Christmas eating, BUT i haven't been able to stick to my list of not eating garbage.

i just downed a whole box of the stuff (in two sittings. used to have one box all at once).

also, yesterday i made myself a platter of nachos.

they were delicious.

in my defense, it hasn't been all crap. i've been having omelet's in the morning.

anyway, back to eating...
