Recent Love Affairs

Here are some things I have been obsessing over lately.

1. Vanilla Cream Soda
Soda is ok, it makes you pee a lot, but vanilla cream soda is the closest thing to heaven you can get in the soda department. At the Bent Spoon in Princeton, they have italian soda ice creams, and my next adventure in the Bent Spoon department will be to have a vanilla cream ice cream soda. heck yeah!

2. Leg Warmers
I've been searching for a good cheap pair of leg warmers for forever, always too lazy to order from catalogs and internets, but always on it when I find them in stores. This Sunday Lee and Matt and I went to Columbus flea market, and I bought 3 pairs of legwarmers, 2 pairs of tights, and 4 pairs of socks. The legwarmers are my favorite. They're just so practical, and, since I bought them in the brightest colors they had, guaranteed to make a statement to what might be an otherwise colorless work outfit. Bonus - they can double as arm warmers. Also, two pairs of them have lil buttons! Too cute. P.S. the two pairs of tights that I bought had nifty patterns - grey and black stripes, and get this - ARGYLE.

3. Dr. Mario
I'm good at this game. Some days, I'm great. I can beat everyone I know. I can't beat everyone on the internet though. There are things I see people who are better than me doing when I'm playing against them that I understand, but can't recreate with that amount of speed they do. Right now my rank on Wii kind of shuffles between 6600-6800. Over the last two months I've completely lost interest in Final Fantasy Tactics A2 (its just too much of the same thing over and over again, regardless of how many jobs they've stuffed in there it can be extremely boring to the point where i've fallen asleep playing it) and since Persona 4 comes out in a steadily decreasing amount of time I have refused to pick up another serious game. That has led to me playing Dr. Mario, sometimes for 5+ hours, online, almost every day. The big lure is that I am more often than not going to play against someone different every time, so its a constant gauge on my skills. I really would like to have some serious bragging rights to this game, so if you have a Wii, and you have downloaded this game, lets play. I'd like to prove to you that I can kick your ass. And if you're better than me, well hell, its awesome to play against you. You will never get better at a game unless you play people who challenge you.

That's that. Persona 4 comes out in about.. 2 days, so don't expect many things coming from here that aren't related to that game.

It cost five bucks. What do you think?
