Yesterday's Fun

I thought I would share my yesterday I spent with my baby sister Melissa. We have a lot in common and I love this. I love that we can call it a "girls day" and not do anything girly and be completely ok with it. Our day consisted of first driving around trying to figure out where we wanted to grab a bite to eat. This becomes a tad limited when it comes to Sundays in Centerville. So we opted for IHOP, a sure-to-be-open-on-Sunday option. There I finally had some waffles, to which I have been craving forever. Not that they are the greatest, but it satisfied my craving. Melissa opted for a breakfast sandwich with onion rings. Not exactly the most common combination, but who's to judge?

After we ate our satisfying meal, we ventured over to the new Centerville movie theater. This place is fancy. The whole lobby is a giant circle with a cafeteria-like eating area in the center. And a super fancy soda dispenser that is all computerized and let's you choose from 100+ drinks from this one machine (or so it says). Anyway we went to this futuristic theater to see Sherlock Holmes. The movie was pretty good (a little too much slow motion for me), but otherwise a fun movie.

Once the movie was over we then proceeded to go back to my house and play video games. We played a very little bit of Call of Duty, Melissa taught me how to better kill zombies, so I'm excited to try now. I was really sucking it up before. We then proceeded to play a little Super Mario Sunshine (I love how the Wii also works as a Gamecube), and then we moved on to some Super Mario Galaxy. We're Mario fans in this family.

Once we were all video-gamed-out, I took her home and then went back home to watch more Firefly. All in all it was a pretty good Sunday, and I again have to say how I love that I can spend time with my sister and it doesn't have to be girly, not that we don't love to do that from time to time as well.

Cheers!

Gaming Addiction in Progress

I may have a new addiction. I'm not sure yet, as it is fairly new (this week), but I've been playing every night (except last night) and I'm aiming for perfection. Yeah this is an addiction.

On Christmas day I went to my mom's house for a delicious ham dinner, and during our dinner conversation we started discussing the movies and tv we like to watch (this is a fairly regular thing), and then we moved on to video games. It was then that the discussion of Call of Duty was brought up. I have never been one to play these games, but have enjoyed watching others play them. Until now. My brother and his girlfriend brought up along with my sister and her husband that on Call of Duty Black Ops you had the option of killing zombies. This excited me! I've known for awhile that I need to start preparing for the zombie apocalypse, and what better way than learning how to kill them. I know this is just a game, but it's hella fun! The other part of the game where you go on missions from the past is pretty fun too. I'm getting pretty good at shooting people. I never thought I would say that.

Mine is for Wii

Well anywho, I now have a new addiction thanks to my family. And I'm still amazed that I hadn't heard about this game's zombie killing option until now.

Happy gaming!


P.S. I totally suck at the zombie killing part of the game. I can't get past killing more than 3 before they eat me alive. If anyone has some tips on where to turn on the effing power as it keeps yelling at me to do so, I will love you forever.

About Me

So I get the constant question when I meet new people, "what are your hobbies"? To be honest I bloody hate this question, because I don't think of myself as an exciting person, and I also hate to talk about myself. So let's get this out of the way:

My name is Chryshele (how did you get this name?). I really am not sure if I have the story right, but I always tell people my mom knew a lady who had named her daughter the same name (mom interject as needed).

I'm 30 (yep the dreaded 3-0).

Never been married (and I'm ok with that, boys suck right now, and usually all the time).

And I'm a self-appointed geek/nerd/fanatic take your pick. And I'm damn proud of it.

This is where I like to talk. I know what I love, and I will share it with anyone who will listen, so long as it's not about me directly.

So what are my hobbies? TV, Music, Movies, Books and the occasional Video Game. So expect a lot of discussion on the like (I like to write and paint too, but not as much. Funny how I started a blog...)

Yep this is me. Semi-recent picture.

Alright moving on.

P.S. I might piss people off with my sarcasm and direct comments. I'm ok with this as long as you are.

And now commence!
