PS3

I finally got my PS3 (well, in December). I used birthday money (thank you everyone), as well as a special that they were having.

I'm very excited and I enjoy it for the games, and it works well for watching home videos (my computer is too slow to run them), and streaming MP3's off of our computer as well. We also use it to watch Hulu on our TV.

We've also had fun playing games online, as well as video conferencing with Chris and Lanea.

Anybody else that has one, feel free to add me to your online list, my name is ABaMD.

And thanks again, everyone. I'm having a blast with it, and Elena has fun occasionally too.

Can Wii be friends?

I enjoy my video games. I currently have a Wii, and I know a few other people who have Wii's. Did you know you can share messages, Mii characters, and game online (over built-in wireless) with your Wii.

Only problem is that you have to exchange Wii numbers or game specific codes.

This post is specifically for exchanging Wii friend codes. Mine are posted below, and if you put your Wii numbers in, I will put your numbers in mine. (Both numbers have to be put in for it to work).

Also, let me know if you need help finding your numbers, some of them are surprisingly hard to find.

Wii console number
4578-2409-3806-9761

Mario Kart Wii
3351-5397-7930

Dr. Mario Online Rx
3784-4718-2593

Bomberman Blast
4081-8375-3098

We've got TV!

Well, actually, we just bought rabbit ear antennae. We've been without broadcast TV for a year, because we're too cheap to pay for cable, but we wanted to watch the olympics (and we have enjoyed them).

And for those of you who were thinking maybe we had gotten a NEW tv, no, that dream is still not yet a reality.

Week at the Child's in Utah

We had our second week at Elena's family. We had lots of fun with our nieces who were also staying there as Darren and Katie are off in Peru.

We had fun doing various things. Too bad I don't have any pictures (or video) of us all (well, except Dad or Mom) playing Rock Band.

Week at my family's in Utah

We made it to Utah in time to go to a family reunion with my Mom's family.

We stayed at my family's for our first week in Utah. I enjoyed being with family, playing basketball with Shawn, and PS3 with Chris and Shawn.

We went out to eat, (we enjoyed Roma Ristorante ) with my Dad, and Elena also went shopping.

Beast settled down quite well in my parents house, but was shy for a while. He enjoyed finding high places to scope things out. He stayed there the following week while we were at Elena's parents as well.

And Dad, thanks for the sacrifice, we appreciate it.

PS2 Sadness

We've been arranging boxes since we've moved into our apartment in January. We've moved them to room to room, gone through and gotten rid of boxes, raised our bed with bed raisers from Home Depot, and stored boxes in our closets.

We finally have enough room in the extra bedroom (our TV room) that we can use Maya, the virtual personal trainer for PS2 in the game Yourself!Fitness. Well, I went to do a workout and I had the dreaded disc read error. It's been showing up more frequently lately.

Try as I might, I couldn't get the disc to work, so I turned to google for a little tune-up advice. I'd opened the PS2 up before to fix it, with positive results, so I wasn't that worried.

I found the site I used before, and couldn't get it to work. Then I saw that there was reference to a cable that needed to be disconnected for it to work on my machine. Well I disconnected a cable, no luck. After much trial, right now, my PS2 will not even power up.

Needless to say, I'm rather discouraged.

Yeah, I'm terrible at this blogging thing.

First off, I've only told Elena about this blog so far, and I didn't even remember to give her the website.

Secondly, It's been a month and a half since I wrote.

Time to do better.

Had a great trip to Utah for Christmas
(got an iPod for Christmas, and a Wii with Christmas and birthday money soon after)

Elena got her cat, we named her Belle, since she likes playing with bells.

That's the quick update. I'll work on improving the blog and adding some pictures.
