Yet another countdown post

I’m still counting down towards Origins

 

I’m at the “6 days till Tuesday…my last day to pack”

Tuesday is also going to be the “longest day” in while most likely tieing with the Wednsday carride

 

Has anyone played any good DS games

Guitar Hero: On Tour comes out the 22nd (just in time for the trip)

The World ends with you (A lot of + feedback…no actual reviews or gameplay)

I’m not sure this is a large number

Movies on my To-see list

1. Wall-E

This is possibly the cutesr robot EVER!!

 

2. The Dark Knight

I’m gonna have to see this and will most likey enjoy it

 

3. The Happening

The new M.Night movie. I have to see this and will most likely hate it.

 

4. Madagascar 2

The biggest selling point to the movie is that it ALSO contains the song “I like to Move it”

 

5.Kung-Fu Panda

Just saw this one actually and It wasn’t bad

More stuff about Orgins

I will most likely be doing the “Andy Vs. Everybody” event…but don’t want to do it alone

So it will most likey be a bust unless Greg agrees to do it with me.

 

Another snag is there are 10 people fitting into 2 rooms wednseday night. I can either try to “sweet talk” Britt and Jason into letting me sleep on the floor in their room for a night, sweet talking here is an implied candy bribe, or sleep, possible under the bed, in a room with Jon, XLP Ben, Courtnay and someone else whose name escapes me.

Either way…I’m sleeping on the floor…I’m not quite sure yet what the better choice is

 

21 days to go from the time i’m posting this…20 if you count the fact im going to sleep in 20 minutes
