Ferris Wheel 1 Has Broken Down...
What I mean is, I build them while playing Roller Coaster Tycoon rather than actually riding them, because... well, there's a lot less vomit involved. Actual vomit. Of course with my parks, there's lots of "virtual vomit." That's what the handymen are for!
My daughter got the Roller Coaster Tycoon game in a box of cereal a couple years ago (probably Honey Nut Cheerios or something), and we've been playing for a few weeks now. It's a ton of fun, and rather addictive. I've been helping her with different aspects of her parks: the placement of various rides and attractions; working on walkways, park benches and food stalls; and giving her name suggestions for some of her fun creations. But on the sly, I've been building some of my own parks, and creating vicious, virtual creatures that I would hate for even my worst enemy to ride. It's been fun!
But don't worry if faces are a little green exiting my latest scream machine, I'll just hire another handyman to do a bit of sweeping....

They're Magically Delicious...
I bought a new cap yesterday at Wal-Mar... err, I mean, Zellers.
Just a side note: Does anyone else feel guilty for shopping at Wal-Mart? I mention it in hushed tones depending on who's within earshot, sometimes. But to tell you the truth, their child labour practices and overuse of the smiley face stickers aside, I love shopping there.
I was looking for snow pants for Jayce because, well, it's snowing and she'd like to play in said snow. Who am I to stop the innocent yearnings of a young heart in the wintertime? While I was there, I bought this Lucky Charms hat. I saw it, I liked it, and I purchased it. How's that for impulse buying? Actually I bought two. You'll be able to purchase the other one at an inflated price on eBay soon. Watch for it.
Anyways, there's something I want to ask you: What is your favourite cereal? I've got quite a few that I like, but Corn Pops and Froot Loops are right up there.
Fire your responses under comments, unless it's Red River cereal, then I don't wanna know....

Bloggin, Bloggin, Bloggin, Keep Them Doggies Bloggin, Rawhide...!
Phew, got that out of my system.
Wow, it's 2008 already? I've been asleep for a LONG time! There are some old songs rolling around in my head this morning. See if they make any sense to you:
"(dun, dun, dun) Another one blogs the dust." - Queen
"Does anybody really know what blog it is? Does anybody really care?" - Chicago
"If I had a million bloggers..." - Barenaked Ladies
"American blogger, stay away from me..." - BTO
"What's blog got to do, got to do with it?" - Tina Turner
"Shot through the blog, and you're to blame..." - Bon Jovi
"Might as well blog (blog!), go ahead and blog." - Van Halen
"I found my blog, on blueberry hill..." - Fats Domino
"Raise a little blog, raise a little blog, raise a little, blog!" - Trooper
That's my inspirational thought for the day. Hope one of those classics gets caught in your head for a while! In the meantime, I'll see you back on Facebook....
