I’m the Poker Shark!

by Alxala

Been playing a little bit of Ultimate Card Games on my VisualBoyAdvance emulator lately, and I finally managed to get my first win in a game of Poker against three of my opponents by taking all the money in the pot from them:

Wow, I felt so excited when that happened. 😀

Family Road Trip Open Thread

by Alxala

Yesterday my family and I went out on a family road trip to go visit our two friendly elderly cousins who live up in Portland for about 27 years, and we totally lucked out by helping them get us a ‘new’ car that we’re looking for because the first two tries on getting it didn’t go well as planned. Anyway, after we got done chatting over at our cousins’ house we went into a restaurant called The Old Spaghetti Factory for my sister Tomala’s birthday, and we chowed down on some delicious food like toasty cheesy ravioli, spaghetti with meatballs, etc. We also ordered some good cocktail drinks like the White Russian and the Fruit Punch, plus we had some ice cream and spumoni for dessert after we finished our nice family dinner. 🙂

Then the next day we all went to an IHOP restaurant to have some breakfast earlier this morning. We had some delicious pancakes like the original Buttermilk pancake and the Chocolaty Chocolate Chip pancake which is what I ordered, some eggs, hash browns, bacon and sausages. After we got out of the IHOP restaurant and said goodbye to our cousins we drove all the way home so that we can plan on getting rid of our classic Oldsmobile by sending it to a local car dump.

So yeah, it sure was nice seeing our beloved cousins. Can’t wait to go visit them again someday now that we got a brand new transportation. 🙂

Swap ’em up and Drop ’em down

by Alxala

Today was a nice sunny day. Earlier this afternoon I was playing a Roku game on the TV known as Color Swap ‘n Drop. It’s a Tetris-based game where the objective is to line up 3 or more colored squares either in a vertically, horizontally and diagonally pattern while swapping and dropping random multicolored blocks. And the game will end when the stacks of blocks reach all way to the top. I’ve been sitting on the couch in the living room playing that game for about two and a half hours, and I successfully managed to get a new high score of 3200 points. I felt so amazed when I got a huge score like that. 😀

Oh, and what I like about the game is that it has the Top 5 high score leader board, which I find that quite interesting:

I gotta admit, this is one of my best Roku games of all time. 🙂

Wednesday Late Night Open Thread

by Alxala

There’s nothing new to report tonight other than having a fairly decent day. We had some delicious taco stuff for dinner earlier this evening along with the ‘watermelon’ cake for dessert. Here’s what the cake looks like:

It has red frosting on the top, green frosting along the edges, and it’s sprinkled with chocolate chips to make the cake look like a watermelon. 😛

Once again, the Slackers have managed to live another day. Open thread!

Here’s something for the live streaming Overlord

by Alxala

I made this animated ‘Please Wait’ for my friend Tomala since we’ve been playing Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel on her latest YouTube live stream a few days ago:

There’s nothing like floating around in watermelon space. 😛
