Nintendo DS and Cold Nights
The hubby has a new toy, and I’m sort of bemused by the fact that there will be cold nights to come for the Evil Woobie. However, it’s so much fun looking at him getting absorbed by his new DS, showing off his virtual pets to me and finding excuses to show off his new toy, like “oh i think my pet doggie is hungry, look at him…” XD
My consolation is that there is one other that may be feeling jealous over the DS. I’m talking about the “other woman” in my hubby’s life for a long time, his Sony PSP. She is now under the pillows, in her case, sulking. Now, miss PSP here is my friend. Why? It’s because she actually helps me remind hubby of my existence.
I created a customized PSP case design for hubby, and added a few, very non-obtrusive reminders.
1. Hey!!! Have you kissed your girlfriend today?
and
2. Sex Time! 10:00 PM
Neat huh?
I’ll probably do this also with the DS as soon as I learn how to customize the case and the interface. Oh, she will cooperate. It’s time to show these digital femmes fatales who’s the real Alpha Female around here!
Recently, hubby asked me to upload photos of his beauties on my photobucket. He borrowed my camera to snap photos, then excitedly told me to pause my blogging for a while to upload them. He wanted to show them off to his buddies at the handheld-hobbyist forums. I was rolling my eyes and snorting while he was flattering me with statements like “See, you’re better at photo uploading than I am. C’mon, you’re a master at doing this!” I finally relented and voila, here are the photos…
Throughout the years, we maintained an easy-going relationship where we’d meet up whenever we felt like it (to watch Matrix and other hot movies at that time), and kept apart when we had other stuff to do, which was most of the time. He’d invite me to his Magic The Gathering mini-tournaments, where I got to hold his deck cases for him while he pawned everyone with his necromancer/Land D deck. I was surprised at the guys attending these tournaments. It seemed that they only approached a girl there if she was holding a Magic cards deck, and always with the coolest pick up line, “Wanna try that against mine?”
These moments with him introduced me to geek culture pretty drastically. What I thought was geeky (getting absorbed in a book for hours or days at a time), got revamped with concepts of Pokemon, Anime, Manga, Star Wars and Tamiya races. I gladly embraced the geek culture because hubby was right in the middle of it.
For some reason, we always got together during Valentine’s day. It’s like an annual thing for us, and no matter how infrequent we see each other throughout the year, we will surely meet during Valentines. More than once, I had to tell a current involvement that I am going to spend Valentine’s with an old friend, and I would get the “spend Valentine’s with that guy and it’s over” ultimatum from that other guy. To which, I could only reply a mumbled, “I’m sorry.” No wonder it never worked out with anyone else.
