NiKKO's Day Out

We went across town to get this, but we ultimately didn't get it and I was mad...

Today was one of the few days that I ventured out of the house, mostly because I had a mission. My boyfriend and I have been wanting to play Tales of Vesperia for quite a while and the only GameStop on the island near us that supposedly had it in stock was in Kapahulu. So today we got on the bus and headed for Kapahulu, and let me tell you traffic was hell today, it took forever to get through Waikiki. Damn all those road constructions.

But finally we made it to Gamestop, I saw the case on the shelf I was so happy they still had it. I even remembered my $10 off used games coupon, and I usually forget everything at home. Which is why I was super happy, because I would be getting what I wanted for cheaper! So I got up to the counter and waited for the dood to find my game. All I could think about was how it was mine, all MINE! I did not travel all this way for nothing. . .

However, that feeling of absolute bliss was to be extremely short lived as I learn that I had, in fact, apparently travel all that fricken way for nothing and I am just floored as I listen to the dood tell me that despite the case being there, Tales of Vesperia was awol. How can a game just get up and walk away? Who knew games could even do that? And more importantly, why the hell would you put it up on the web site as available and even go as far as having the case on the shelf, only to NOT be able to find the fricken game!!!! They are just as stupid as Walmart!

Those bastards put a bunch of K-drama cases on the shelf and they didn't even have it in stock, I could see if it was one case, but no they had at least five cases on the shelf. Okay so maybe they aren't as stupid as Walmart, but this isn't the first time they did this to me, its been a couple of times.

Tips For Better Living! Volume 2

Look Younger

- Take care of your hands. Slather them with SPF 30. Put it on your arms and face too.

- After brushing your teeth gently brush your lips in a circular motion. Be sure to apply cream.

- Try bangs, a flattering layering around the face is more youthful.

- Use cream blush. It goes on smoother and “no more clown cheeks.”

- Pencil your eyebrows in with a slightly darker pencil if they are sparse.

De-Clutter

- How long should you let magazines, newspapers, outgrown kids clothes clutter up your house? Decide how long you want to keep it and when you reach that point, recycle, donate, or toss.

- Define a room’s purpose and don’t let foreign objects creep in. If your bedroom isn’t the official laundry room, move all laundry related items, including laundry baskets out.

- De-clutter often. When you first notice clutter, remove it and put it in its rightful place.

- Don’t buy containers until you clean and sort everything out. You will want to buy the right sized container and you don’t want to wind up with more containers than you need. Often times you find you don’t need any at all and they contribute to the clutter.

- Keep your counters neat and clean at all times. Messy counters are psychologically draining and make preparing a meal more difficult.

Kitchen Help

- Stock up on broth or make your own by cleaning and cooking the leaves and ends of fresh vegetables. Use it for cooking noodles, spaghetti, rice, macaroni, and as a base for soups or gravy. It will add more nutrition to your food and will taste delicious. It will also save you money.

- With a box of cake mix, cream cheese, and confectioner’s sugar you will always have a desert that is quick and easy to make for any emergency. Just follow instructions on the cake mix, mix your topping of confectioners sugar and a little milk, mix in the cream cheese. Put the icing on the cake and there you have it.

- Whatever you do, do not buy bottled water. Water that comes from the tap is as good if not better and you pay for it anyway.
