Videogame veggies

I was at my in-laws yesterday for Ross's birthday(Ryan's brother) and Ryan and Ross were playing Ross's new video game. I was watching and realized not for the first time how much Ross looks like Ryan. In fact, the first time I met Ross, I thought of him as just a mini Ryan.

I love watching them play because they have the same expressions and intensity.
This one was my favorite. They both had their mouths hanging open and they get so into it.

My new want


Sony - Cyber-shot 10.1-Megapixel Digital Camera

Model: DSCT700/N

Isn't it beautiful? I need a camera, and I saw this one in Best Buy. It is all touch screen, great picture, and it is only about a 1/4 inch thick! However, I will definitely have to save up since it is over $300.

Goo Balls

You are right! A Liripoop is a smart trick or stratagem. There is another definition of the word which I love. A liripoop is also a silly person!
Ryan downloaded a new game for the Wii called World of Goo. Anyone heard of it? The game is really cool, especially if you like a challenge. You have build the goo balls to get to certain spots but physics is in play and so you have to build without it falling! The music is cool, the graphics a bit weird, and it was created by only two guys (there was a third for part of it).

Random

Does anyone else find it ironic that eyelashes get in your eyes, when they are the very things there to stop things getting in your eyes?
Is anyone excited about November 4th?
Today's post is a mixture of my thoughts this week. I don't have pictures so I have to make up something. Although, I should have had Halloween pictures but I forgot to take some. Ryan and I went to a party at an old coworkers house. Ryan was a karate guy, and I was a french runway model. You will have to use your imagination.
Church was pretty good today. I have been trying to thing about Christ more during the sacrament and today I finally did. I was thinking about the basics, what it represents and so forth, and as I was thinking about why Christ died for us (because he loves us) I also thought, he did it so we could be happy. I think too many times we are unhappy with our life or situation, but I have found you can find joy in anything and I would much rather live that way than to be miserable in my complaints. I also thought about this subject the past two weeks as I have been reading the story of Nephi and Laman and Lemuel. Man, Nephi was an amazing guy, huh? I knew it before, but I never really KNEW it. And, Laman and Lemuel make me want to scream. Can you be any dumber? I found a common theme however, with the bad people, they are the murmurers. They are the ones who even though they repent, they soon find some part of their situation to complain about, and fall away again. And the common theme with the good people, is they have really hard trials, but they are always praising God and giving thanks. When I read this story, it literally scared me out of my complaints because I finally realized exactly where they were leading me. To failure. I don't want to be a Laman and Lemuel.
Thanks for listening folks.
