There are clues, but they were hard to find, if I remember correctly. That level was a pain in the ass, though.

Or Mister Tamborine Man, for that matter.

Ever heard Leonard Nimoy's "Bilbo Baggins"?

I don't have anything that would play a mobile game. I have no apps for anything, lol.

You would give a Valentine to Ulala.

I'd give one to Lavitz from Legend of Dragoon.

I want DQ VIII on 3DS! But money is an issue at this time of year. Sigh.

I porked out over the last couple of years. I went from 135, which is the most I should ever weigh, to 165 when I weighed myself in August. I knew I needed to do something, because none of my uniforms fit anymore, and I couldn't walk to the top of the hill that park HQ is on without huffing and puffing. And then I got Beau, my new dog, at the end of September. He's pretty much still a puppy, so I have to go out and walk him every day. I started doing the Couch to 5K running program with him in early October, ran a week, and then I got sick and had to stop running for almost six weeks. I figured I'd have to start all over again, but I found out I was actually in better shape than before I started running. When I weighed myself at Thanksgiving, I'd lost 13 pounds and an inch from around my waist. Christmas Day saw another two pounds gone. And last week, I was able to fit into a pair of pants I haven't been able to button in over two years. And two weeks ago, I ran a 3.5 mile race on snowshoes in under an hour. That's the exercise end of things. On the food end of things, I'm being conscious of portion size, I cut soda and chips out of my diet for the most part. I do allow myself a soda or a bag of chips as a treat every once in a while, but I'd say it happens no more than once or twice a month. I also started eating my big meal during my break at work instead of coming home and cooking a big meal (or indulging in convenience food like frozen pizza) after 9PM. I do grab my dinner from the hot food bar at work, but it's high quality food made from scratch in our deli, and I'm probably eating more vegetables this way. And I keep my sweets intake to a minimum. My mom gave me a big bag of Lindt truffles for Christmas, and I've been rationing them - one a night, if I don't eat something else sweet.

The older pinball machines take a lot more skill than the newer ones. When I ws a kid, I'd get to go to Boston and stay with my uncle for long weekends. He knew where all the pinball machines were, so we'd go to a pizza parlor for pizza and pinball. More often than not, my uncle's initials would be on the machine.

That looks both cute and fun. May have to get it for my 3DS.

Never was a fan of Whitney Houston. My mom and one of my sisters were, though, and that may have sealed her fate as far as I was concerned.
