Pocky Part Deux

Being the purposefully non-traditional couple that they are, my sister and Karl didn't give traditional gifts to their supporting cast. They didn't have a best man or maid of honor (thank goodness as I would have been the matron of honor...eeesh). They just had Derek (friend of Karl), Mike (friend of Anne), Dan (friend of Anne), and myself. I figured that I wouldn't be recieving the typical wedding jewelry, but I could never have guessed what we did get. Anne and Karl got me a Nintendo DS. Woot and 1/2!

They also got each of us a game that we would like. Mike got a Star Wars game, Dan a Mario game, Derek I can't remeber at the moment, and they got me Nintendogs. They found one with a Cavalier in it so of course that is the first dog I bought. I picked a female tri-color and have been trying out the whole thing. It is interesting, but Bleys is still way cuter. You do have to talk to the dog/game to train it though (voice commands...cool), so it wasn't really the thing for the plane ride home. So we also picked up Rayman DS and Dave got a poker game to try out. We ended up spending too much, but it did make the trip home seem like it was no time at all. I'm kind of stuck on Rayman right now as I am only so coordinated and can't seem to get past this one sequence. Oh well, I'll get it eventually...I hope.

I also finished The Dolphins of Pern and Dragonseye on the trip. I enjoyed both although I like The Dolphins of Pern better, but then again when I was eight I was going to be a cetacean trainer so that might color my perceptions a bit. I think next I'm either going to read A Plague of Angels, or the D&D Player Handbook v. 3.5.
