Looking forward to more pics. When do you pick her up?

I love Agents of SHIELD. The end of the season plots twists were pretty incredible. I scored the first season on DVD used two days after it dropped for about $20 and made Jason watch it while he was at the cottage taking care of the pets while I was away for six days. Need someone to talk to about the show and he stopped watching in the middle of the season. I did good - no spoilers, so he was as surprised as I was at the plot twists.

Looks like you had fun as usual at the mid-week swap meet. Have fun shopping today.

Glad the new job is going well. Yeah, there's always that exhausting adjustment period, but regular hours are oh-so-nice. I have to seriously start looking for something for the winter so I don't go as deep in debt as I did last winter.

You seem to really enjoy that series and keep going back to it in different installments. Kind of like me with the Ratchet & Clank series.

Yeah, I don't usually go for the open world games, so not entirely sure what makes this one different. I think it has to be the story. And the non-story stuff is pretty well labeled so you know where to find i,t and the amount of collectibles isn't too overwhelming.

I love Lego Marvel Super Heroes, except the flying parts. I'll never be able to Platinum that game because of the races where you have to fly. The controls are terrible. But other than that...being able to play as Agent Coulson was pretty awesome.

Yeah, WTF ails tourists when it comes to driving or pulling over? I hate getting stuck behind the ones that do 20 in a 45, and there is absolutely no way to pass safely. And I'm usually on my way to work when that happens, so I tend to be very impatient...

I'm a huge Shop Local! supporter. My brother owns a small independant grocery store and I know how much he depends on people shopping locally. The other part of this is, more money staying in the local community helps everyone, not just small business owners.

I'm going to my friend Mindy's annual harvest party tomorrow, so today I'm going to make a couple of apple crisps, one for me and Jason, and one for the party.

Playing: Bouncing back and forth between South Park: The Stick of Truth and Sleeping Dogs. I've noticed that they both have some serious technical issues, South Park more so that Sleeping Dogs. I got stuck in a freaking loading screen, fer crying out loud! And the loading times seem a little excessive, but what do I know, I'm not a game designer. Either way, technical difficulties have not lessened my enjoyment overly much.

Reading: Months and months worth of blog entries from when I was too busy this summer. Thinking of starting my annual reading of The Lord of The Rings while I'm doing laundry today.

Watching: All kinds of stuff and none of it Halloween-themed. I need to get caught up on Arrow before the first episode of Season 3 disappears off Hulu Plus.

So, where are the pics of your new kitty? Kitten or adult? Color?

The last level of Psychonauts can be extremely frustrating. Just a heads up now. Psyconauts was the first Double Fine game I ever played, and hooked me on most of their games.  Because you're playing it, I'm now wandering around through the house quoting random phrases from The Milkman level.

Playing a couple of games now that would have benefited from packing in instruction manuals.

Have fun!

Sorry for your loss. My dad died six and a half years ago on Valentine's Day. I still miss hm a lot. But he thought video games were stupid, but I would have liked to show him Ratchet and Clank, because that might have changed his mind.
