Swords, Sand Dollars, and...Yoshi Fails?

Hey, guys!  Sorry I haven't blogged in a bit; I've been busy spazzing out with Caroline.  (SpellCheck still doesn't recognize "spazzing" as a word.  How lame is that?)  Anyway, today was a day full of, as always, wins and EPIC FAILS.  Let's start with the night's most recent fail, shall we?

I'm not sure how many of you play Super Smash Bros. Brawl for Wii (I use a GameCube controller because I am a fail with the Wii remote, like most people), but those of you who do play probably know about the CPUs and their levels.  Well, I have an alliance of local gamers that play similar games including SSBB.  We have a color and rank system and it's all official and pretty.  You know how I said my best friend Caroline was my mentor?  Guess what!  Anyway, I can kill three level sevens on a good day, which technically makes me a level eight.  Well, she was testing me on my level eight status.  After several fails, I got very, very mad at a certain egg-laying Nintendo dinosaur with a tendency to be green in color, high-pitched in voice, and annoying in demeanor.  Also known as YOSHI, who is *officially* my sworn enemy.  Just by the way.

But I degress.  Well, I set up a battle with me as gold Pit, the epical level-eight-in-training, two level-one Yoshis, and one level-three Yoshi.  Now, I know what you're all thinking:  "You dominated!"  Yeah!

NO.  

The level one killed me, people.  I have never experienced a bigger, more EPICALLY FAILING FAIL in my short life.  EVER.  God bless Caroline...

In other news, Caroline and I scuttled down to the toystore I mentioned in a previous post and purchased some *toy* swords and shields!  I'm not sure how much I said about our selections in the aforementioned post, but either way, they're those ones.  And they're awesome!  We can now run around the condo like idiots with *style.*  Win.

Also in other news, the sand dollars are bleached!  Nice and shiny white.  Yays!  And though I'm sorry to say that our local hobo, whomever he or she may be, does not get a white and sandy companion (if you'd paid attention to the poll I put up, you'll know what I'm talking about), it does make Caroline and me feel like we've done something legitimately productive.
