It's all fun and games some nights!



Patty and I played a new game with our friends last night, it was called Dominion. It ended up being a card game, which I thought Patty would hate, but it was really fun and we both had a great time! It always helped that I won! :)
Tomorrow we are going snowboarding at Appi. I'm really excited to try out my new board, and to go out again and hit the slopes! I'm really excited for Patty aswell. I know she is going to feel way more incontrol this time and hopefully I'll get to take her down some of the bigger runs!

Happy Snowboard Day!


Well, my snowboard, boots, and bindings all came in the mail today! Needless to say I'm pretty excited! My apologies for not posting anything for the past few days, but I didn't realize how late school would really go to, and how tired I would be. I'll be sure to post earlier though to make sure I get a pic in every day! Anyways, either this weekend or next week, I can't wait to shred the mountain up with my cool board! They also included a nice winter hat, a baseball cap, and a pair of headphones for free in with the package! I highly recommend the place I got the board from (The House), which you can find here. They had wicked fast shipping and great service!

That's alot of Warhammer!

I traded some stuff for this sizable Warhammer army awhile ago, only to come to the conclusion that I don't really have the time (or the desire really) to play alot or get these guys up to a table top standard (ie painting and whatnot). So, I spent awhile today trying to sell them off. I think I might have some buyers too, which is very nice. These guys are always in demand so I hope I can move them. In another note, my side still hurts from my massive fall on Friday. Yesterday I was in all sorts of pain, and not just my side. I had this killer headache all day, and I didn't get around to posting a blog. Anyways, I felt guilty and the need to explain so, there you go. Anyways, good times, noodle salad.

Snowboarding at Mikado

My friend Ed and I took leave from work yesterday to go snowboarding. We were hoping ofcourse that there wouldn't be anyone else there really except for us, and boy were we right! After a little adventure getting there, we finally arrived to find that it was pretty much us and 4 other people on the slopes. The Japanese Army was also doing some training for a little while, but only on one run of the mountain. It was a really great day, filled with amazing views and awesome powder. I really only fell once (I'm getting much better now!) but that one fall made me think that I punctured my kidney. I fell so hard that somehow I elbowed myself in my right side, and bruised my insides pretty bad...needless to say it took the wind out of me. Luckily though I was able to shake it off and keep going! It was a great day and I'm looking forward to going again Monday!

My First Snowboard

Since I have been snowboarding so much, Patty and I thought it would be a good idea if I actually bought a board. That way I don't have to rent one every time we go, and in the long run we will save money on it! So, I ordered this one lastnight! The best part is that it already shipped out too! So, I'm hopeful that I might even get it as soon as next weekend so that I can use it soon! Anyways, I'm pretty stoked. They say that you should really like the artwork on your board too because that is half the fun. I have to admit, I'm pretty enthused about this board...the weird thing is that I've never been too into comics though. I mean I've liked some, and even own a couple, but I was just surprised that I liked this one so much! Well, this board should last me the next couple of years, so I look forward to carving up the mtns on it!

Fun in the Snow!

Since it snowed a whole bunch, Patty and I decided to go outside and build a snowman! It was the first time she had ever made one, and we both had alot of fun!
Aside from that, I've been researching snowboards for the past week or so, with it culminating today. I think tomorrow I am going to go and look at purchasing one. I'm excited! There is so much fun to be had in the snow I can hardly contain myself!
Even Patty said she likes the snow! Ahhh...how we love Misawa!

Why Won't This Work!?


Patty: The PS3 won't play the disk!
Me: Hmm...weird. Are you sure it's not showing it on there?
Patty: Yeah! Look! (flips through all the menu's) It's not there
Me: Hmm...weird. Try ejecting it and then putting it back in.
Patty: Ok. (PS3 beeps to let you know there is no disk in there)
Me: Are you sure you put the disk in the player?
Patty: Hehehe...whoops!!

Disk Fail.
