Gimme, Gimme, Gimme

Have I mentioned that I LOVE SingStar?

For Christmas, I got two new SingStar games for the PS2 - Legends and Country.  We broke them in at the New Year's Party, and we had much drunken singing all night.  It was awesome.  Unfortunately, I suck at Country, because my range is just a bit too high, but I love the songs anyways.

Today, I got what may be the best SingStar for my voice - SingStar ABBA!

I go through phases with ABBA.  Sometimes I love them, sometimes I can't stand to hear them at all.  I seem to be in a 'love them' phase at the moment.  However, regardless of how I feel about the group, I know their music, and I can sing their songs.  Tonight, on my first attempt, I got over 8900 points!  Without having heard the song in... months, if not years.  So SingStar ABBA is my new favourite game.  Until I go back and play FFXII again.

More addictions

I started playing Final Fantasy XII yesterday. I played again today. I've spent about six hours playing it. I've died several times. I can't stop playing. I tried, but I can't. I'm afraid I'm going to spend hours again tomorrow... and I don't have hours to play during the week! But I love this game! It's kinda like watching a movie, with a bit of video game in between. I'm actually only playing so I can get from one cut scene to the next. I'm surprised at how much I'm enjoying this, given that I'm not really a video game kind of gal. I'll play SingStar and the Sims 2, but that's about all I've really played in the past year. Apparently, it's all about the kind of game you choose.

On a related note, I joined another D&D campaign today. It wasn't really what I'm used to - the group sort of broke up randomly over the course of the game to go take care of kids or eat dinner. It was odd and disjointed, but still fun. I think I'll go back again.

On a completely unrelated note, my computer has been wonky lately. Today, I had to restart it (twice), but this last time, the green light on my webcam came on, and has not gone off yet. I don't have anything running that would make it work. Maybe someone is watching me... not that I'm doing anything interesting! I'm fully clothed and blogging. And sneezing. They're definitely not getting a show... maybe it's Mordthor... he may have found a new way to keep track of my movements!
