A Superhero Halloween

Way Off Topic No Comments »

This Halloween is going to be so much fun since my little one is old enough to enjoy it. I’ve been contemplating her Halloween costume for weeks. There are so many great Halloween costumes ideas and directions we could go.

I even dressed up as her as a kid but my costume wasn’t nearly as nice as the one I found at HalloweenExpress.com. Some might say that I’m reliving my childhood through my daughter and while they may have a point, this might be the only year that I have the final word with her costume. Next year she will be much more vocal about her costume choice. So, yes I may be reliving my childhood through my child but only for this Halloween.

HalloweenExpress.com has so many costumes to choose from and since they carry adult costumes, I might have to pick me out one since I do have at least one Halloween party to attend. I’m sure I can find something that is to my liking as well as price range. Halloween is a fun holiday and am glad that I can enjoy it no matter how old I am.

The Sims 2 Castaway

sims2cast.jpgI’m so behind on The Sims 2 expansions that it’s not even funny. Now I see that the next Sims 2 expansion will be Sims 2 Castaway, which is very exciting to me since I”m a huge Survivor fan.

In Castaway, the Sims are stranded on a desserted tropical island and you must help them find their way back to civilization. In the spirit of Castaway, Gilligan’s Island, and Survivor, this could be a fun situation to have our beloved Sims in. Now if there is just a Wilson basketball in the game, it will be perfect.

iPod Accessories

The first accessory I bought for my Nintendo DS was a screen saver. I didn’t even play a game until I had placed the clear plastic coverings on both screens. So, for me the first accessory to buy for any electronic device is protective coverings. That would be especially true for my long-coveted iPod. Luckily the PDO Store has all the ipod accessories I will need.

For my iPod, I will buy a screen protector since it’s important to protect an iPod screen from scratches especially since I will probably be watching a videos and other programming. I will also buy an invisible body shield to protect the covering from getting scratched when I use it everyday.

I am a firm believer in buying protective gear for electronics. It not only keeps them looking new longer but will help their re-sale value, which is good for when I want to upgrade models. Also, there is a sense of pride in taking care of my DS or iPod since they bring me so much joy then I should do something for them, too.

Wii Wait

The plans for the Wii might have to wait until next week. I hope not but with the pay period falling on a Monday instead of Friday and with our planned trip this weekend, it might be impossible.

I definitely want to get a Wii before November. I just think of November as the rush to buy Christmas gifts, so I want to have a Wii before it becomes competitive to get one.

Meanwhile, I guess I will just have to be happy rediscovering Guitar Hero since I finally unpacked the PS2.
