Happy Halloween

Posted on by under Holidays, Movies

Today is Halloween! We celebrated Halloween on Saturday and watched the Conjuring 2. I picked it out this year. I  have to say it was scary! The nun in the movie scared me so much! I haven’t been that scared since The Ring. Then later I watched the Babysitter on Netflix. Yes I liked this movie. It was comedy horror.

Earlier we also carved our pumpkins.

Jeff did this one:

The cat was the hardest one I have ever carved ever. I don’t think it turned out so well as my scary face though. Also Jeff free hand his. He always complains doing pumpkins then his always turns out amazing!

Jeff’s pumpkin came from Walmart it was the roundest pumpkin we have ever seen. I picked up my pumpkins from a local farm. The only difference is Jeff’s had a hard shell where my was soft. We all had a lot of seeds in our pumpkins too which is awesome!

I’m better per say. I got a sinus infection however depression is pushed away. Feels like the negativity cloud is now sunshine!

Even so my parents got mad at me over something super stupid! Last month my dad stubbed his toe. But this month it was still bothering him. So he went to the doctor and found out he broke his foot. My dad group texts everyone that he broke his foot. I was going to respond but I was sleeping then later I forgot. My brain goes to fizzle mode when sick. It’s not like I didn’t respond on purpose. He took it as I didn’t care about him breaking his foot which is a lie, I do care. So he got mad at me and my mom was mad I could tell that I didn’t respond. Isn’t that the most stupidest thing to get mad about? So after talking to my mom, I texted my dad to ask how he was doing. He ignored me because he was mad. The next day I texted him if he went to the doctor. That is when he responded. Why be mad about something like that. I really do care and didn’t do that on purpose.

Jeff and I drove three hours to Dodgeville and back home for a Ford Explorer. That was a long night of driving, six hours. It was silly because the maps took us through all these little towns. At one point granted it was night but we came up to a church with a cemetery next to it. There was nothing else around this church and the church was lit up too, made it super creepy looking! Finally got to the dealership around nine o’clock at night. I got to drive it back home as Jeff drove the truck. This vehicle makes me look small when driving. Ha!

October 25 we went to Witt Auto dealership and had the Explorer get new tires and all that good stuff it needed. Like oil change and it needed to be reprogrammed and such. We spent 5 hours there! It was crazy long time to wait. It’s nice there though. Even though there is one strange thing at the Witt Auto dealership in the woman’s bathroom there is no garbage in the stalls. Other than that everyone there is super friendly even saw one of the Witt brothers. Never been to a dealership that didn’t make feel like leaving immediately. I really hate being in those places. First I have no clue about cars so whatever they say goes right over my head with all those fancy terms. However there they explained everything in laymen terms so I didn’t feel stupid. Another thing it’s super clean and super nice in there! I am impressed actually. Also to pay for most of this we actually sold our Escape. The guy didn’t even negotiate the price! Also we sold the ps3 with a whole bunch of games.

I get little sad about selling my games. Isn’t that a silly thing to be sad about? I just remember playing them all and all the time I spent on them. Also all the money I spent on them like DLC’s. All I can describe it as “Goodbye my digital friends.” Ha!

Speaking of which didn’t know in Until Dawn supposed to keep everyone alive. Oops! I beat it once and I was done with it. I tried to go back to get different story line but you can’t skip the cut-scenes and wow some of those characters are so annoying. So I gave up trying to beat it again.

I bought Dead Island for my PS4. One of my favorites like I said before. But I bought Dead Island Definitive Edition.What’s the difference? Well! They fix some plot holes and the characters look better. They also fixed the level of hard it is. As I play and go further in the story more and more zombies show up that didn’t happen in the PS3 version. Also funny when chopping off limbs or heads they flop like fish out of water. HAHAHA!!! With this addition you get all the mods as well so that’s cool.

 

Life

Posted on by under Everyday Life

The last couple of days I have been feeling a bit depressed and I haven’t felt this way in a long time. Ever since I changed my way of thinking I have kept depression away but I do have it. I have had depression since I was a teen because I was bullied really badly in school so I tend to think less of myself. I use to take medication for it but I decided to not take anything and to change my attitude, my way of thinking and my lifestyle to not make depression part of me. But for last few days it has been hanging around.

I have been feeling like others in my if are moving on and I am standing still. I’m not sure how to fix that. My BFF April is learning how to ride horses and one day she will have one. My friend Helen is learning how to play electric guitar and is getting good at it. Jeff started his own business and has a client he is working for. And me I have done nothing. I haven’t really learned any new skills that sounds great like them. I learned how to loom knit, who cares.

To add to my mental misery our Ford Escape died. We can no longer drive it or fix it. On top of that we paid some money towards that vehicle. We got the license renewed, had the oil changed and it was all for nothing. Now that we don’t have that vehicle I can’t go to this wedding I was looking forward too. We do have our truck however can’t really drive it in the winter. I have no idea how we are going to get another vehicle.

Ugh…I give up on this week.

 

 

Until Dawn

Posted on by under Everyday Life, Video Games

I made a new friend. Well gaming friend anyway. It’s a guy Jeff’s works with. Oh! I got up to the Demolisher in Dying Light and can’t beat him. So frustrating! First I ask Jeff can I be Dana’s friend on FB? Jeff is like I don’t care. So I chatted with Dana and asked him if he could come over and beat the Demolisher and he said sure be over tomorrow. Guess what? Just as I thought he never came over. I figured because that always happens to me.

I should have just went with the person who I first thought of. His name is Sam he works with Jeff too. I asked him if he could help me out and he said yes. However while waiting for this I got sick of playing Dying Light. I started over to get better health and in the process got sick of it. Ha! So I was looking at PlayStation Network for games $20 or less to give me a break since Dying Light is my only game.

While looking I saw Evil Within which is on my list of games I want to play but I also saw Until Dawn. While chatting with Sam he said he had Evil Within and his kids play Until Dawn. He only said that he had Evil Within in disc form and told me he would let me borrow it and the next day bring it to work to give to Jeff. Here is the thing: If someone wants to borrow something from me, I make sure they have it the very next day. However in my case if I want to borrow something I don’t get it till days sometimes a week later. So I wasn’t expecting him to give me the game the next day.

Then he said he forgot at it home the next day which like I said I figured. However he said he would bring it over after work. What?! And guess what he did! Along with Until Dawn. Awesome!

I got them on Tuesday and I already played all the way through of Until Dawn. Until Dawn is choice game and they base it on the Butterfly Effect theory. So whatever choice you make no matter what effects the story. Now I love the choose your own games. They are super fun! I wish I could remember the title of the first video game I played where my choices mattered. I’m sure it was on PS2. I remember it being strange but it was the first time I encountered quick time events. However in that game if you didn’t press the buttons you died. Now in these games you don’t press it turns into funnies!

There are parts of this game that are annoying and of course makes no sense. I know video game logic!

Near the beginning two characters have to go another cabin which the other character says it’s just up the trail.  No it’s not just up the trial it takes FOREVER to get there. Now I know they are trying to prolong the game but seriously. The characters are a male and female. By the end of getting to that cabin I wish she would die. So annoying! In fact her and another female character are super annoying and wish for their demise. Ha!

There is one point where you go a an asylum that closed down. No electricity of course but that is to be expected. Here is one place where it doesn’t make sense. Your character goes to the morgue and you can open several slots where dead bodies would be. As you open them you can see that it is cold in the slots. That doesn’t make sense because there isn’t any electricity so the morgue would not be that cold. I know overthinking but for a game that made the characters look so realistic that could of paid attention to some minor details.

Also the game premise is I would slasher flick. It has jump scares and a creepy guy lurking out in the woods who you see from time to time. But then it switches genres. It goes from slasher to creature feature. I was disappointed how it switched. Would love it as a slasher horror game. Some strange guy out in the woods killing them one by one. But somehow in the middle there is these strange creatures that follow you and try to kill you? What?!

I like when you are talking to the guy who breaks up the game chapters and how his scenery changes throughout the game. The game graphics are amazing!

This is my second time going through the game as I know what to expect I want to change the story and try to kill different characters. HA! I assume some deaths have to be and expect that. I am glad that I didn’t pay for this game as it not as long as I wanted it to be. Since it took not a lot of playing time to go through it.

 

 

 

 

 

Working Out!

Posted on by under Everyday Life

I survived! 8 weeks, 5 days a week I worked out!

I hate mornings and there is a morning before coffee? I found there is a morning before coffee. Every morning my first thought was “No! I don’t want to exercise.” Then I got up and go exercise. There were some exercises that I couldn’t do because of my back and I don’t bend that way. So for those I would substitute with another exercises. As long as I was moving it was all good.

Even though I didn’t lose a bunch of weight, I lost around myself which is how my body loses weight. I can fit into some of my clothes I didn’t think I would be able to in a long time. I have energy in the middle of the day AND I can lift heavier things then before. I was skeptical that in 8 weeks I would accomplish anything and found out I accomplished a lot! Also I think I did a hundred squats. Ha! However I have toner legs! I also found out that Yoga isn’t that bad. I have always thought Yoga looked boring and there was no way I would be able to do any because I am not that flexible. But! I found I like Yoga yeah there are some positions I can’t do however I found I really like doing the Pigeon pose. It feels great! I can’t do the Cobra and that one is the one they loved doing but I like the Child Pose was the one they would do with Cobra. Yoga is relaxing! I didn’t find it boring as I thought I would.

I feel good about myself and that is what is important. Will I do this again? Yes! I even want to buy more programs and do those.
