There have been a lot of power outages throughout our town and other areas lately. Once the power went out just after I had cooked dinner the other night and the power only came back on a few hours later. The power was out for a few hours for some days and it would happen at the moment when I was busy with something. When I was writing a blog entry, watching a DVD or doing something else on my computer, the power went out. It is so frustrating! Like when I wasn’t saving whatever I was busy with and lost it at that moment when the power went out.

Stupid Eskom!

Hmm... Magic: The GatheringSo with the thunderstorms summer brings and the power outages we’re without the television, computer and our other electrical entertainment… Then Victor and I would play Magic: The Gathering. With my Time Spiral theme deck, Fun with Fungus; I’ve won the last several games that we have played. I’m quite impressed with myself because I haven’t been playing long. I’m getter better and better, or so Victor says… In an effort to win, Victor had tweaked his deck after each time I had won but he still hasn’t won.

Now he’s jealous and wants the same deck that I have been using lately because he thinks it’s “powerful”. I don’t know if it really is or not, I just like it because I win when playing with it. He had his turn of winning all the time, now it’s mine!

Well, Isn’t This Just Freaking Typical!

One of my favorite cartoon characters is T-Man of Urbo: The Adventures of Pax Afrika. He’s a thirteen year old, emo-loving disaster magnet whose skills include that of walking into things and accidentally blowing things up.

Urbo: The Adventures of Pax Afrika is my new favorite cartoon show. It is South Africa’s hottest animation show and biggest animated series yet; fifty-two episodes to be exact. I really want to get the series on DVD someday, if possible…

I’ve missed most of the series but from what I have watched with my youngest sister, I think it is a really good, funny and entertaining show; even though it is aimed at the younger generation.

Life’s got one rule: Live it up

My youngest sister and I were playing Rayman: Raving Rabbids on Friday and I must admit that it is quite fun. My sister loves the “Shake your booty” tasks and I pretty much like most of the rest. The bunnies are cute, crazy and silly; they make me laugh and I like that. My other sister likes GTA: San Andreas so I ordered that last week from Kalahari.net for all of us to play… I ordered some DVDs too, so I should be receiving all that some time this week.

Items I purchased from Amazon.comOn Saturday morning I got a package containing some items I had purchased last month on Amazon.com; Candy Land and eight pairs of stainless steel chopsticks… Amazon.com doesn’t ship anything but books, DVDs and music CDs to South Africa, so with Stinky’s help I was able to receive the items that I had purchased. Stinky received the items for me and then mailed them out to me… Next month I’ll be mailing him a little package containing some biltong and some other South African goodies a little gift for his help.

I’m worried if something is missing from the package though because it was resealed by the local post office authorities due to being “found open or damaged”… I should be receiving another package that Stinky mailed which contains the rest of the items I had purchased. I can’t wait to receive a notice for me to collect the remaining package!

I love shopping when I can actually afford to do so…

I’ve also been playing a bit of MTG: Online this past weekend; I won once out of the few games I played. It’s a little fun but after a while I get bored of it, close the application and move onto something else that will keep me busy…

I had to baby-sit my niece yesterday morning as she stayed over from the day before; she’s so adorable and also a little fussy at times… She’s turning one this Sunday! Time has surely flown by too fast, I can’t believe it!

Last night was fun as my younger sister, Victor and I played Candy Land a few times after playing a bit of Rayman: Raving Rabbids… We had lots of laughs; mainly because I was all anxious when playing Candy Land… I didn’t want to pick the peanut card and go all the way back which happened the first time we played. I was thinking, “Oh, please not the peanut card! I’d have to go all the way back! That can’t happen, I want to win!!!” whenever I had to pick a card, LOL! I get anxious for the most simple things sometimes, it’s funny!

What’s up with me and children’s games lately?
