Geek-Out Moment: Guitar Hero

I'm not one to play video games. The extent of my gaming prowess extends out to Kirby's Dreamland and MarioKart. Basically, non-gory, cutesy games with catchy music.

Until I was introduced to Guitar Hero III.

Not only is it not gory, but it has much better music. And if you stare at the screen long enough, your eyes start playing tricks on you. (Like, ficus trees begin to wave at you and stuff. Whoa... [/Keanu Reeves voice])

Anyway, so I was really terrible at this game at some point. However, after much practice, I finally beat the evil record producer at the end of the Easy level today. Woo Hoo! I feel confident enough to battle those stupid 10 year olds often found on YouTube. Or at least hang out with David Cook. (Hello!?)

Here's Lucy!

Because you all probably want to know what our cat is like. Here is a quick sample.

Current Annoyance: City Limits

So to follow up on my attempt to obtain a business license from Sac County... apparently I live within City Limits. So the county can't extend a license to me. Which is fine, except Sac City doesn't exactly make it as easy to obtain a business license. Argh! No online web forms, no concrete information online, nothing. I have to go to city hall to talk to someone. Which is completely crazy in this digital age. Lame!

In other news, we bought our tickets to Paris and Rome, booked our hotels and we're working on the rail pass. We also adopted a cat. Woo Hoo.
