Castle Wars and Other Stuff

So the group I blogged about the other day had what I thought was another good suggestion for today’s outing. Jelly (new link, update people!) and her guy Hawks led us all in Castle Wars, the brainchild of RacerX Gullwing. I had zero idea wtf to do because my Quicktime broke and I couldn’t watch the movie with instructions, but I kind of got the hang of it in the end and Jelly helped me in the beginning <3. I actually finished runner up in the first war despite having zero strategy or any understanding of wtffff to do. More importantly, I outlasted Adec - so it was worth it :P

The one chick I didn’t beat was again, Misacha Vaughan - who kicked my ass 9/10 times at the Go Kart track. So she’s tough and I’m waiting for a challenge where I can beat her ^-^

I notice the group tends to be a blend of visits to corporate sims (not usually my thing unless there’s something really different happening, thanks) and cool stuff like this. So far, both the activities I took part in were fun.

I took some really crap snaps - something has gone all wonky on my machine since I installed and de-installed the First Look viewer (which totally doesn’t work for meeeeeeeee *whines*) - so here’s a crap photo of Adec protecting his blue castle. Meh.

In other news, I shopped last night, which never really gets old when there’s new stuff out - or new to me anyway. In my travels, I (like the rest of my friends) picked up the Boogeyman coat by Krius Misfit of SiniStyle. I put it on this morning, along with a skin from Last Call that I never get to wear, and took a couple snaps while listening to “Open Your Eyes” by Snow Patrol (a remixed version from Adec - no he sent me the song not this weird YouTube thing). I don’t usually love emo music but I do love this song and it kind of inspired the next snap, which I promptly took to PS (which I also suck at) … so sorry, it’s not great but the words of the song made me do it <3 The music Adec sends me usually inspires me - mostly because he sends it :) I’m mushy like that.

I also finally got the hair from Naughty I wasn’t able to get at Hair Fair because I couldn’t keep from crashing every 2 minutes in that hell of lag. Before anyone (ummm you know who you are) says I already have too much hair - I did have too much before I boxed like 30+ up where they’ll probably be eaten by the LL trash compacter. I look rather prim and proper with this hair and this really pretty dress from Ivalde (the Julianne) that screams SUNDAY MASS - but since I am Jewish, I can wear it anyway and smoke a cigarette :) It also comes with shoulder prims, which I opted out of.

Lastly, and I have no snaps for these yet, I did the sale at Oh! What a Neat Boutique and picked up two (buy one, get one free) of Rosemary Galbraight’s new cocktail dresses (I cannot for the life of me remember the name, can’t find a blog or forum entry, and I am not in world at the moment). Will try to add a snap at some point. Editing to add the post from Celebrity Trollop at SecondStyle…so this is the dress I have in blue and black. I can’t get the prims to fit me correctly just yet, but since it’s copy, I can keep trying :)

Oh and I did a flyby the Last Call sale, where Ginny and Starley put out a ton of great outfits and all the Deviant Nation skins for big discounts. I didn’t buy anything but the crowd of ladies there (and by ladies, I think I might mean men in a few glamazon cases) always cracks me up and yeah, the lag was fun /sarcasm. Seriously though, we all love Last Call don’t we? Yup Yup.

So that’s all for now. I’m away this weekend - so have a good one :)
