So this is the situation: I'm currently ripping my CDs to the library for the travel laptop and while this event is going on I thought it would be time to let you good people in on what I am doing, playing, watching, etc. Think of this as a combo Quick Hits and What Chris is playing. I was going to write a normal QH on Friday but I went out and well I was busy for the rest of the holiday weekend. Now I'm here, I have some time so let's catch up!

Well good morning Pixlpeeps! I hope everyone had a wonderful weekend and I am a day late but I hope this is going to be a good week for you. To my Texas peeps you folks are tough as hell! Over the weekend I decided to play my Vita after finally adding the Humble Bundle code for the four games I bought and I wanted to try the Vita games. One problem, I can't find my Vita charging cable. It is a freaking pain. You know what would have been nice? If the Vita didn't have a proprietary USB cable. Anyways my Vita will continue to sit until I stumble upon where I put that stupid cable. I did however power up my 3DS XL and I started playing

Ok so I really wanted to get a blog out on Monday just so I could say I still wrote a blog on Eclipse Day and not use a title revolving around Bonnie Tyler or Pink Floyd. Since I was nowhere near the path I only got maybe 60% of the eclipse, which is still really cool but not as swanky as the folks who made their way to Oregon. Well I got a late start to looking for eclipse glasses, like I started on Friday. Yeah it was already a lost cause especially at Lowe's where apparently customer service is not one of their strong suits. After making some calls and roaming around including checking on Amazon (congrats to you resellers who are now stuck with tons of glasses that you were selling for $100) I went the old school method and cut up a box

So I'm trying to multitask right now, and maybe rip a couple of CDs to my Travel Laptop's external hard drive and one freaking song slowed everything to a crawl. The CD is in pristine shape, and every track before it ripped at the DVD drive's max speed and now this song. Blah! This really isn't gaming but hey it's something I'm doing while I'm typing this latest entry and hopefully the damn song will be finished and I can't get back to regular speeds.

Good morning Pixlpeeps. It is Friday which means later on today after running a couple of errands I will be heading out to the local mom and pop shop to check out their stock on traded in CDs. Hopefully I find some new stuff that fills holes in some playlists and maybe take a chance on a couple of items I never heard. I do know that I will buy a new CD from Barnes & Noble because of my current project, more on that in a bit. Last week I said I would do a mini review on the Android phone I bought last week, the Coolpad Canvas and I will but I will also write about what I am doing with my small travel laptop. If this isn't your fancy I understand and if you want to check out the latest Hot Wheel pickups or what random dollar bundles I bought just scroll past the nerdy stuff. Cool? Alright let's get started.

In an attempt to get my postings back on track it is Monday and I am here typing away while eating breakfast and watching Dream Cruises on AWE. The episode that I have on is about a cruise ship that is smaller than the typical ships because it also sails, so they can either travel with nature with a good old fashion diesel engine. Kind of interesting and it roams around part of the Caribbean. Anyways you're not here for that, you're here for whatever random games I decided to play this week.

Well hello Friday, and hello Pixlpeeps! I am ready for the weekend but first I want to add my ramblings to the world wide web, throw in some pictures, and maybe read your blogs today. Things are a bit slow around here and I may be partly to blame because I haven't been sticking with my usual Monday-Friday posts. New Month means I get my behind back on track and get this going. So with that let's get started with Quick Hits.

So here we are, Thursday and I thought it wouldn't be right for me to write up all my randomness in a Quick Hits blog tomorrow without at least making an attempt to review what I played (kinda played/simmed/etc) the past couple of weeks. So because of all this, here we are and let's look back what I played. Sound fun?

So here I am, Sunday morning not out of bed and watching the last stage of the Tour de France. I was meaning to write this on Friday but I was tinkering with a project that I am still not finished with, and I had a CD Friday trip so I was busy with that. Saturday I was going to write but again I was still tinkering a bit before deciding the weekend is for sleep and being lazy, which leads us to right now. Here I am, watching folks on bicycles finish up one hell of a race. Let's catch up on the non gaming things Chris has been up to.
