Rhythm Heaven and the Nintendo DSi

by MouthyGirl

I recently bought the game you see Beyonce playing on TV, Rhythm Heaven and I’ve gotten past the first test, but not much further, it’s hard!

I preordered a DSi and went and picked it up in the wee hours of my birthday, April 5th. I had to buy it, in June 2007 I won a DS from BobMeetsWorld.com (run by someone else now) for Bob’s 30th birthday he gave his away. “Bob” later went on to start JohnCow.com, a wildly successful domain, playing on a commonly misspelled domain, JohnChow.com.

I found it somewhat funny that the newest generation of the DS was coming out on my 30th birthday, so I preordered it. I’m enjoying it, I bought the black one, and they’ve by far improved it over the previous design, the power button is no longer a slider that can accidentally be flipped during game play. The sound is no longer a slider either, and the screens are bigger.

The Nintendo DSi camera and sound are my favorite parts of the DSi, aside from the games of course. As you can see in the commercials, these are really fun ads to the DSi:

If you have a Wii, you can watch commercials for upcoming things, there are videos there about the DSi that are definitely worth watching showing all the cool things you can do with the sound options that have been added.

When you buy the DSi you receive 1000 Nintendo points to use in the DSi shop. Very cool. I bought two games with my points and now have 100 points left, I’ll have to buy more points to use them since the levels are Free, 200 Points, 500 Points and 800 Points.

You can download the DSi browser for free, it’s fun but I haven’t explored it that much yet. They recently added a game under 500 points that’s from Clubhouse Games, it’s called Card Classics, and I’d recommend it. I didn’t download it but I have the actual DS Clubhouse Games:

It’s a very fun game, by far the best DS game I’ve found so far, and the online play and local game options are a lot of fun if there’s more that one DS in the household. I also have Mario Kart, My Sims and Touchmaster. I got Mario Kart with the Nintendo DS that I won and it’s a great, intense game though a lot of people have cheats.

I never really got into games in my childhood or adolescence so it’s a little funny that I’m into them now, but it was winning that DS two years ago that set these wheels in motion. Now there’s no stopping me, lol.

What games do you play?

MouthyGirl turns 30!

by MouthyGirl

So there’s roughly three weeks until my 30th birthday and I’m pondering my next 30 years.

gameover :(

Sounds like a country song. In fact, it is.

“My Next Thirty Years”

I’ve never been intimidated by turning 30. I haven’t felt my twenties leading up to it, haven’t considered it a grand landmark or anything like that. If anything, I welcome 30 and all that the age comes with.

A lot of the insecurity I knew in my early 20′s is gone, I’m a lot more secure in who I am now, and some days, I’m actually proud of myself. My son is growing up, he’ll be 12 this year, that makes me feel old, but otherwise, I don’t feel old.

30 is just a number. My grandmother is 82, will be 83 this year. My mother just turned 50 this year. There are lots of birthdays, mine is just one of them and while it feels like it should be some sort of landmark, I can tell you quite honestly that when I was 18, I had no idea who I would be when I was 30.

DeboHobo has a birthday today. Happy Birthday Deborah!

Now that I’m almost 30 and I look back to when I was 18, I was so stupid back then. I made a lot of bad decisions, things that didn’t alter the course of my life, but could have been done better. I was lost when I was 18. I was also pregnant that year and trying absorb as much knowledge as possible about being a parent.

I think I’ve done pretty well. The kid is well rounded, smart, funny and a lot like his mom. :D

Generally I guess 30 means to me that I get to look back at some things and be glad they happened, and look back at some other things and wish that they hadn’t, like the family members I’ve lost in the last decade. I wouldn’t change anything that has happened in my life though, only because they’ve all culminated and marinated and made me who I am today.

And I don’t think she’s so bad. ;)
