Welcome to Hyrule...in bed

[orangerful]

Tim got me the Nintendo Switch for Christmas + Legend of Zelda so if you don't see me on here much, blame him! LOL. This thing is dangerous since I can play it on TV but then turn it into a handheld and crawl into bed with it (which is what happened last night and I ended up staying up way past my bedtime).

Had a lovely Christmas and it looks like most of you did too! We even got a bonus day off today (since they usually give us Christmas Eve off, but that was a Sunday, they gave us today off) so I was able to sit and really play the game a bit more since I had only barely done the tutorial zone last night. It is so fun and adorable and so Zelda.

He also got me the new Buffy Board Game, which I'm excited to play! I got him 'Betrayal at Baldur's Gate', which is supposed to be a really fun co-op board game we can do with friends. Sylvia got me some yummy tea and a Star Wars crochet book so I guess I'm going to learn how to crochet at some point this year! My crazy parents got us a Casio keyboard so I am also going to have to dig deep into the recesses of my brain and find those piano lessons I took when I was 10 LOL.

My Mom got me a second Star Wars purse so now I'm torn between whether I should use my R2-D2 purse or the more subtle Han Solo purse.

Speaking of, I *STILL* need to type up my Last Jedi thoughts. I keep saving the links to everyone else's reaction posts on here because I don't want to read anything that will sway my thoughts. I have a piece of paper in my work bag with all these notes scribbled on it about things I want to talk about haha. I swear, every day I think of something else I really enjoyed about the movie and the writing.

And I want to do some year-end lists because what else does one do the last week of December?

Hoping to have some friends over for New Year's Eve, maybe a little more low-key than last year. Hoping my brother can make it too. My friend got me the expansions to 'Joking Hazard' so I'm hoping we can play that, plus the Rick & Morty card game and I think my brother is bringing a game that was made by The Decemberists of all people! RANDOM!

Anyway, better go to bed at a normal hour since I do have to work tomorrow, even if it is the 1-9 shift.

Toodles!

I love it when something (movie, book, game, etc.) makes me stay up past my bedtime! Well, I love it for one day, more than that and I can't hang anymore. who's old? not me

I'm looking forward to hearing your thoughts on TLJ. I didn't read reactions for a few days after I saw it for much of the same reason. I've dipped my toes in a bit and it seems opinions are varied.

LOL yeah, pretty much me also. I MADE myself leave it in the station last night and came upstairs to read my book instead because I swear when I closed my eyes the night before, I could still see Link burned into my retinas...

Just posted the first of many thoughts LOL. I started typing and couldn't stop so I'm going to post them in chunks for easier reading.

Yay, Buffy board game! I'd love to hear how that goes, once you get around to it.

We gave it a try last night. It has a bit of a learning curve, we ended up watching a 'how to play' video to set it all up because some of the directions were unclear - there are a lot of them - but we managed to play a game and I think next time will be more fun since we know what we are doing. :) You can play with just two people (which is what we did) but I think it will be more fun with more people. The whole thing is co-op so that was fun too!
