The Legend of Zelda: Triforce Heros

First off, Happy Easter everyone! Or as my kiwi and I have been calling it, Bunny Day! I won't go into detail what I was calling it--it was less PG and more PG-13. Anywho, not sure if I've mentioned this or not, but I'm a gamer. I've been told I'm a casual gamer though (by some guy I used to know who was more hardcore gamer and jerk but we won't go into that). My video game urgers comes and goes in spurts. There are certain series I pay attention to though. Final Fantasy is one (not the only one ones) and my biggest passion? Zelda. I got into Zelda when my parents purchased Ocarina of Time on a N64. Ahhh..the good ol' days. From then on, I was hooked. I've got all the Game Boy/DS/3DS ones that have come out since then. I never disliked a Zelda game. I've enjoyed them all for different reasons. I have my faves though. OoT will always be my top fave. I think Twilight Princess will also be right up there (I'm a sucker for Epona). I enjoyed Windwaker and Majora's Mask. I'm not a huge fan of Skyward Sword, but I like the gameplay. Overall, I've enjoyed them all.

You’re Not You: Film & Novel Review

Hey everyone! Hope you survived your Thanksgiving and didn't get trampled on while doing some Black Friday shopping...and enjoyed the Seahawks vs 49ers if you're into that (I was reading...more on that). I just got back not too long ago doing some shopping with my sister and mom. I didn't get to run yesterday as planned, but as I've discovered over the years of being with my boyfriend, family plans change...usually last minute and last minute was 10:30pm the night before. Oh well. I'm really really glad we got to be with his family the morning of because boyfriend worked that night (along with my papa). I spent the night with my mom and papa (who had to sprint off to work). Day well spent. Even the warmest Turkey day in 130 years. Crraazzzy! I'm just glad we didn't get 6 ft of snow like Buffalo, NY did! So anywho, as I mentioned, I was reading during the big game. I only had 10% of my book left and I wanted to finish it darn it! The book was called "You're Not You" and is by Michelle Wildgen. I started reading the book after I saw the trailer that featured Hilary Swank and thought I'd give the book a shot and then watch the movie online. For those who aren't up to date with your movie trailers or haven't heard of the book, you can find it easily on wiki or youTube. To give a general plot, the story follows Bec (played by Emmy Rossum) who because a caregiver for Kate (Hilary Swank) who has Lou Gehrig (ALS) disease. Josh Duhamel plays Evan, Kate's husband. The story follows how the two gals get along and, as wiki puts it, brings out the best in each other.
