"girl" video games

I read an article on MSNBC about how one particular video game manufacturer was getting flack for making "girl" video games. Caring for babies, being a vet, being a fashion designer, etc.

There are certain groups who are outraged that they are limiting girls to such trival persuits such as fashion designer and caring for babies..

But not once in the article did they say anything about "boy" games. All the games out there designed to maim and kill. Where is the outrage that there are "Boy only" games..

and um.. there is NOTHING preventing the girls from playing any game they want. If they want to drive around and kill pedestrians, they are more than welcome to. and if boys want to give their hand at caring for pixilated animals, there is nothing stopping them.

I think it is great that they are creating new games that appeal to a different set of people. I for one won't buy the road rash kind of games, nor the war games, or the shoot em up games. I like Mario and games like that where you have to get past a series of tasks and challenges. I own one of the vet games, and it is very unchallenging to me, so I don't play it much, but I really liked the premise (so much so I bought it)

and btw, girls are more likely to want to play "girl video games" because.. wait for it... they are girls!! *rolls eyes* nothing says they have to, but they are creating the option out there for those people (yes, PEOPLE) who want them.

and it is about time.

We've had "boy" games for far too long with out this counter option. really the market was "boy" games or gender neutral games like Mario. Kudos to the manufacturer for doing this, and boo and hiss to the people who say things like this are wrong!

(now if they wouldn't let a girl buy a boy game, that would be a *whole* different story!)

oh how I love heat

For Christmas, my boss bought me a small portable heater. I mentioned I didn't have any spare plugs at my desk, so it sat on my desk until the recent cold snap. She made a point to find a way to get the heater turned on for me.

now it sits under my desk and has been running for three days. I tried not to turn it on this morning, but after about an hour I was shivering..

I LOVE IT!! its like wrapping yourself up in a fresh from the dryer towel..

mmmmmm

only issue, when I get up my legs get REALLY cold..

Greek yogurt w/ honey

I had this one years ago. I found one in the store the other day (I see and buy greek yogurt all the time but not with honey) so I bought it, and had forgotten how much I enjoyed it. I am classifying this as one of those foods I love.

small suggestion

When it is 16 degrees out, do not wash your windsheild unless you have FULL heat.. yes, I am that much of an idiot.

Yesterday I had a pretty good day despite having some major setbacks (I ran my car off the road. hey, at least it was intentional). I was able to keep a good mood most of the day. Today, nothing goes wrong, and I just want the whole world to go away and stay in bed with my kitties all day.

I'm also in major need of a hair cut. I can't seem to do anything with it any more. What is most annoying is I prefer my hair longer, unfortunately my hair does not prefer to be longer. It looks horrid on me. I'm trying to decide if I want to cut it all the way back to my shoulders or just have a standard trim.

I'll probably go with a standard trim to start, and go from there. I haven't had one in months and maybe that will help my hair look like something more than something a 3 year old glued to the top of my head..
