Green, Green, Red, Yellow… I am going to be dreaming of these colors coming down the neck of a guitar. Today Allison and I busted open Guitar Hero III. What a super fun game. We had an awesome afternoon playing many of the first level songs like Slow Ride, Talk Dirty to me and even Hit Me with Your Best Shot. I couldn’t wait till two guitars were able to be purchased for a Wii. You can play with a wiimote but it is even harder than using the guitar controller.

We are watching the Knight Rider Movie. It is pretty awesome. I hope that they make this into a series. It would be pretty sweet.

Mini Guitar Hero… PAD #1045

My 15 year High School reunion is coming up on November 24th. I have been working with one of my former classmates on the planning of the reunion as well as mailing out of materials and practically begging people to attend. Our responses have been so low and we are scrambling. The reunion is also a fund raiser for another former classmate, Becky. Her family has had a rough time with Cancer and her husband, Mike is still fighting it. Cancer sucks.

So why am I talking about a Wii. Well, at the 15 year Reunion I would like to auction off a Nintendo Wii as one of the prizes in the silent auction that we are having to raise money for Beck and Mike and their three beautiful little girls. I’ve been collecting donations and selling a Calendar to help raise money. I make $2.97 per calendar and $2.00 goes right to the family. If I have enough to do so I would like to buy an iPod or even a Nintendo Wii to give away at the silent auction. Donation have been awesome too. With nearly $100.00 so far. I know that overall it is only a drop in the bucket but every bit helps.

There is a contest going on at Everybody Loves Coupons. This blog is a great place to find out the latest and greatest coupon codes online. Did you know that you can really save a lot of money online by using coupons. It is true. I have saved money on shipping, discounts on overall price and sometimes I have even gotten free stuff, all from coupon codes.

Everybody Loves Coupons is giving away a Nintendo Wii and Mario Party 8. We don’t have that game but we do have a Wii. The Wii would go right to the silent auction. I hope that we have enough items to give to the silent auction. As well as enough people to attend so that we can cover the cost of the venue and still have enough money to give Becky and Mike a nice Donation. If you would like to help please buy a calendar or you can donate through the PayPal donation button on the top right sidebar.

The 15 year Reunion, I need to win a Wii…

After Allison and I got the Wii we went through tons of batteries. And now with a baby on the way we are going to have to get a battery or two or six for every item that comes through our door. I was looking at the things I still need to put together, the baby swing, the baby bouncer and then the toys that make the noise. Each one is going to be battery powered. So the best accessory that we ever got for the Wii was a battery charger, I am going to have to invest in more rechargeable batteries and chargers of various sizes for the coming years.

Best Wii accessory ever…

Today Dad and I worked on finishing up the Dining room. Photos taken today were out of focus, (someone, me, forgot to change the camera back to auto focus.). We started the morning by finishing up the rest of the trim and spot painting the walls. That Aura paint is amazing. Painting right over dried paint looks seamless, no difference in color at all. Spot painting blended very well.

After the painting was done we cleaned up all the “shovels and rakes and implements of destruction” (bonus points to the reader who can identify where that quote comes is from, leave a comment). And we brought up the floor sander that Dad rented. It wasn’t a sander with a circular motion, but rather it came with screens or sandpaper to attach to the bottom of the machine and it would buff off the top layer of polyurethane that was on the wood floor. We only needed one screen so that was great. Dad would do one part of the floor and I was right behind him with the Dyson cleaning up. And these were a few spots that I used good old sandpaper to get some heavy drops of paint off the floor.

We finished up and Dad returned the machine, picked up some new Polyurethane and I helped Allison do some organizing and cleaning up around the rest of the house. We even hung a few photos in the living room.

Our good friends Andy and Rondi, Stephen the Dog’s A & R, came over to go out to dinner with us. We went over to our favorite Chinese restaurant, Fortune House, where the folks there were very happy to see us and very excited that Allison is so far along in her pregnancy that it is very obvious to all who see her. We had a great meal and even took a take out order home for Dad (he called on in while we were there and caused much confusion or us because neither Allison nor I had our cell phones on us and had no idea that he had called in a take out order). When we got home we played a new Wii game called Big Brain Academy. That is a pretty clever little game and Rondi whipped all out butts. I did do the test and scored a very heavy brain though. It is a fun game for a group of people to play, especially in the head to head version.

while we were playing Oliver got very relaxed and showed us the essence of a good stretch.

I got the new Transformers Wii game this afternoon. And I played for a few hours. And a few more, so today’s photo is of a screenshot of the game. I was playing as heroic BumbleBee. I played once as a Decepticon and the game looks like it follows the movie pretty well. The opening shots are fantastic. There are a few behind the scenes videos at Transformers: The Game. I will have a complete review of my first impressions of the game at BenSpark 2: Electric Boogaloo tomorrow. Review is now up for Transformers The Game.

But for tonight it is far to late to be up blogging and far to hot to sit in front of a computer screen.

Also I posted the seventh Tech Tuesdays with BenSpark at the FuelMyBlog Blog. Check it out.
