What's the greatest video game console on the market? Do you own it or is it on your wish list?

Out of the most current ones, I have to say I loooooove my Wii. The controls are so innovative and fun! We bought the Wii last February because it was #1 on our console wish list, but Dan and I both would have liked to get an Xbox 360 and a PS3, but that was just way too expensive.

However, a friend of ours recently got a PS3 for his birthday and he doesn't really use it so he said he would sell it to us for $300 (console + two controllers + two games). An amazing deal for a system that sells for $600 (for just console and one controller). So yay, now we have a PS3 too :)

Each console has it's pros and cons. Wii is new, fun and different but the internet gameplay sucks. PS3 has beautiful, amazing graphics and I have heard it is decent on internet stuff. Xbox 360 is king when it comes to online gameplay.

Maybe one day we'll get a 360, haha.

Also, as far as handhelds go...the Nintendo DS Lite is amazing! It's the best handheld I've gotten my paws on. But I still want a PSP too T___T

What game are you really good at?

I'm really good at Mexican dominoes. I tend to get really serious when playing it too, lol I'm sooooo into it! :)

Oddly enough, I've never played traditional dominoes but a lot of people have told me it is pretty much like Mexican dominoes except the Mexican dominoes are colored, not black and white.

I LOVE love love this dress.

OMG I want it. The top is just like the top I liked on the one I tried on. But it just looks more elegant, classy and sophisticated! Gonna go check on its availability at the store today or tomorrow.

Where is your favourite place to be on a sunny Sunday afternoon?

Definitely poolside at a private pool...or at the lake. I have water on the brain because Alabama is crazy hot right now. I loooove the sun and swimming :)

What are your favorite websites and resources for travel planning?

I wish I had some, honestly. I have never flown before, so trying to find good prices on flights online is foreign to me. I usually go to typical sites like travelocity.com or expedia. But I know there has to be better websites out there.

I have a honeymoon coming up, which could possibly be my first flight ever. Any suggestions on where to buy plane tickets from? :)

Should driving while talking on a cell phone be outlawed? 
Submitted by Soup.  

I think so, especially if you are holding the cell phone to your ear and driving with one hand.

Pretty much every cell phone comes with a headset now and I think that makes driving while talking easier...then you are just basically talking like you would if someone were in the car with you.

I've almost gotten into several accidents this month alone because someone was talking on their cell phone and not paying one lick of attention to traffic.

What do you have, what do you need and what do you want?

I have a wonderful male counterpart to whom I'm getting married to in April.

I need a solid career and to make more money and to move out of this boring little town.

I want to own a loft downtown, buy Manolo Blahnik shoes, have my own photography studio....I suppose I want a lot of things.

I just got off work. I stole one of Dan's Brooklyner Weisse beers out of the fridge and then started plotting with my friend Sherry about costumes for Dragon*Con.

Yes, Dragon*Con is a week away and we're trying to come up with last minute outfits, haha! I have my Fuu outfit ready to go, but it sucks to cosplay alone. Right now she is scouring the internet in search of a quick and easy Bleach school uniform. We shall seeeeeee.

Sherry's also bringing her wedding dress with her for me to try on. She told me if I liked it then I could have it. I'm excited to see how it looks!

So yeah, Dragon*Con is just around the corner again. Last year was our first time attending and it was a total blast.

I'm really looking forward to getting out of Anniston, into Atlanta, submerse myself into geekdom and all that good stuff! AND having the weekend off <3

I have this Saturday night off as well. My friend Mike's birthday....his boyfriend Tommy is throwing him a surprise get-together at Mellow Mushroom. And Sunday I think they are going to go with me to a bridal expo, LOL :)

Anyway, that's pretty much all I'm up to right now. Wedding stuff is on the brain too.

Will try posting here more!
