I'm Addicted to Evony.

So, last week Pete said he found a game online that was pretty fun. I never really played RPG's before because, well, they look lame. Oh, was I wrong! I've been playing all week. Every time I have a few minutes I peek back online so I can update stuff, recruit more infantry, learn new tricks in my University, and upgrade my walls, defenses, farms, quarry, etc. It's unhealthy.


Evony is basically like World of Warcraft. Only difference is Evony is free. It's a real-time RPG where you are the lord or lady of a plot of land. You have a town hall, cottages, barracks, a school, a feasting hall, an inn, farms, sawmills, quarries, iron mines, etc. You are a point on a map where you have neighbors, deserts, forests, and other stuff that you can conquer to build upon your domain. During the first week you are in beginner status, and nobody else can attack you. It gives you a chance to build up your defenses before anyone can invade your city.


I know all this sounds INCREDIBLY nerdy, but it is so fun! I joined an alliance for extra protection, and the person who started the alliance is actually a pregnant lady from Norway. We chatted about health care for a bit. It was really interesting. I asked her whether she was using a midwife or an OB and she had no idea what I was talking about.

Of all the people reading this blog, I think Pete's Dad would have the most fun playing. Nate (Melanie's kid, not Vicki's, though he might like it, too) would like it as well since he's so into City of Heroes. Anyways, it's fun.

If you now think I'm a huge dork, so be it. I love Evony. Oh, and I'm on server 66 if anyone else wants to join me. I'm Lady Lulu. Transport to my server right away though, because if you do it later your town will be wiped clean when you move. Just so's you knows.

New Doggie!!

After discussing Peanut's sad loneliness and Pete's desire for a big thumpin' dog, we decided to go browse the pound. I had several requirements for this dog, among them being that the new dog get along with Peanut/ the cats/ kids, and that it not shed. No more animal hair for me, thanks. Well, we found the most awesome dog EVAR! Her name is Nelly, and she's a Giant Schnauser/Poodle mix. She's a Giant Schnoodle! She met all my requirements, is completely housebroken, trained, etc. Her previous owners even had an in-home daycare. They decided to get rid of her out of pity because there was another dog they had that tormented her. Poor baby. She is amazing. I think she looks like Sirius Black when transfigures into the big, black dog. So, her full name is Nellius Black! It's a Harry Potter thing...you wouldn't understand. ;) Anyways, we've had her for about 5 hours and she's great so far! She even leaves the cats alone. Hooray!

Oh. Holy. Old Food.

I noticed that there was a lot of food in our cabinets that hadn't been touched in ages. So, I cleaned everything out and looked at expiration dates. It turns out that about 50% of the stuff in our pantry was expired. Eww. Here's the photographic evidence. The left half is expired. I feel so ashamed.

What Maya and I do while Pete is at work.

Pandora Radio

I don't know why I just thought to post this, but I thought I'd share in case any of you out there had never heard of Pandora Radio. It's a website that lets you type in the name of a band or song that you like. It then pulls up a bunch of other songs and artists that you might like, queues up a ton of songs, and you can listen to them all for free for as long as you want. You can make lots of different customized "radio stations" based on whatever type of music you like. While you're listening, you can tell Pandora if there's a song you don't like, and it will never play it again on that station. It is so rad! Our friend, Dorota, is from Poland, and we typed in a random Polish folk band she likes. They had it. That's actually one of my favorite stations, now. It always plays cool music that I've never heard before. If you've never tried it, check it out!
