what's going on these days

Let's see... what's new...

I might be going to Sweden in February on an audit trip. This would be extremely awesome, especially if any or all of the following happen: 1. I get to fly business class 2. my boss lets me stay a couple extra days to visit [livejournal.com profile] fireceremony 3. my boss lets me fly home from seeing [livejournal.com profile] fireceremony on the company dime even though I'd be flying home from a different country 4. that homebound flight is also business class.

We are taking my little cousin Alicia to New York on Saturday to go to the American Girl Place as a Christmas present. Looks like serious business. My husband and I have both been sick, and I was pressuring him to put the trip off a week, but he thinks he'll be well enough to go.

The Giants play Dallas on Sunday, and if you think I will be anywhere but parked in front of the TV screaming my head off, YOU ARE SORELY MISTAKEN. I don't expect them to win, but wouldn't it be exciting if they did? AND THEN I WOULD HAVE TO SCREAM MY HEAD OFF NEXT WEEKEND TOO, YES.

Looks like another year will be spent wasting a perfectly good Saturday sitting on the couch to watch the NFL draft. So sad that Ray Rice is leaving RU, but I want to see where he goes.

FFT is addictive. Good storyline so far, too. The cut-scenes are gorgeous! It almost makes me want to cosplay again. *sniffle*

Still not over this bug that's been going around. It's been almost two weeks of yuck. How annoying.

I have to stop procrastinating on this presentation. Back to work.

I'll be in the city on Saturday too! We usually stick to downtown, though, but I'll look out for you!

FFT=Final Fantasy Tactics?

:) We'll probably be hanging around 5th Ave., looking in windows.

Yep, Final Fantasy Tactics. Husband bought me the PSP port for Christmas.

Oh wow, American Girl. That place is supposed to be pretty fancy. And here I remember when there were no dolls and only three main characters in the books.

Yeah. This place looks like srs bizness.

Oh yeah, this American Girl thing is big business. It's very popular among the younger set, and you can bring your dolly to the store and have her hair done and all that crap. HUsband and I are kinda gritting our teeth through it, but we'll have fun because my little cousin will have fun.

halfway through the day, you find yourself staring into space and formulating how to kick the next guy's ass

Inorite? I've been playing FFT and FFT Advance (which is a different game) and it's frustrating with FFT how you can't see your enemy in advance. FFTA allows you to see the whole field and re-equip during selection mode.

You're coming close to me as well, then! Okay, so not that close, but closer. :D
I hope it works out, Sweden is a great country. :)
