THE SIMPSONS NEWS

A much easier week this week than last weeks. It helps that I don’t have to stay late.  That really wore me out last week.  Been getting a lot of work done lately and I’m feeling good about it.

FAMILY

Sept 11th was Alesha’s birthday. She was a little concerned about what she wanted to do for her birthday. She really likes celebrating it and having fun with it. We celebrated her birthday on Saturday the 12th.  Alesha had invited (at the last minute) her family and ours to our house for a barbecue. Most everyone showed up and our little house was packed.  I took Munchkin and her cousin Chrystal, to the playground and then we went swimming.  Meanwhile Alesha’s sister, Devisha, cooked food.  After our swim, we came home and ate.

Alesha was having a great time.  The kids where happy because they got to eat the junk food they don’t usually get to eat.

Later in the night, one of Alesha’s best friends, Monica, brought a Karaoke machine from her car and we ended the night singing Karaoke.  Munchkin loooved singing and put on a show.

Overall, the party was a success and I don’t think Alesha felt it was a lot of work for her (which was her biggest concern).

We got up early Tuesday morning on Sept. 8th. We ate breakfast, got the kids ready and off we went to Disneyland.  It was 7:30am when we left the house and traffic was awful. What should have taken 30 minutes took about an hour fifteen.

We got a little lost getting to the park but, after going around in a big circle, we managed to make it to the parking lot.

I had called my parents before we had left.  They were going to meet us at the gates.  Surprisingly enough, they got to the park at the same time we did and even parked three cars away and we didn’t even know it. We discovered it when we left for the day.

We made our way to the shuttle and where confronted by the first obstacle we would encounter, namely, how we were going to get our big double stroller on the shuttle.  Lucky for us, The shuttles have a big space for double strollers.

Once off the shuttle, we made our way to buy the tickets to get into the park.  The tickets are just soooo darn expensive.

BLOGS

My friend Chance from the Simpsons is up to all kinds of things. Here’s a look at his reel :

…as well as his blog. Check out the adventures he’s had which include getting invited to the Alba’s house (as in Jessica Alba‘s family’s house) to draw with a few friends.  Pretty crazy.

ROLE PLAYING GAMES

This week I’ll add to last week’s list of free Dungeons and Dragons type games with a free version of the hugely successful newly released Pathfinder Roleplaying game.

This is an updated version of the D&D 3.5 rules.  It cleans up the rules and makes many of the classes and races much more interesting:

Free Pathfinder rpg rules (courtesy of the publishers themselves).

The link contains all the rules that are included in the new rule book, but it’s all on the site. I’m using it at the moment to make myself  some Eberron characters. I found the  Eberron  3.5 Campaign Setting book for three bucks at amazon (woo hoo!). I must say I’d much rather buy the actual book thought. It’s darn inconvenient to go through the site to make your characters. Not only that, but I’ve heard the art in the book is incredible.  That said, it’s free, so there isn’t much to complain about.  If I wanted to, I could buy the pdf of the book for $9.99 from Paizo, but that’s still not as cool as having the book. Whenever I can afford to buy the cheaper amazon copy of the book, I will. For now I’ll just use the site.
