Hi Bia!

Winelover, we''re super excited about the car. They made less than 1000 of them with a manual transmission, so we were psyched to see one show up in Portland!

Awesome! I love driving a stick. My tribeca is my first automatic so sometimes I miss it! What color?

 

[ladypirate]

It''s black, which we aren''t totally thrilled about, but it''s not a terrible compromise to make.

 

[FrekeChild]

YAY for a new car!

WL, which picture of it do you want to see? Today, yesterday or the day it happened?

Hey there! Mine was great, I finally found new brown boots after 2 years of looking!

 

[FrekeChild]

Ok. No collage...

This was not long after it happened...

 

[FrekeChild]

This was yesterday morning--aka after sleeping with it.

 

[FrekeChild]

This was yesterday afternoon, after taking my clear (hardening and strengthening) nail polish off.

 

[FrekeChild]

And this was taken about an hour ago.

Fun! What did they serve? I''m so hungry right now, I love talking about food!

 

[FrekeChild]

Nice boots! My pink pretties should be here today! Yay!

I''m Christmas shopping for FI. This is harder than I thought it''d be...

 

[misskitty]

Morning, ladies! I am thoroughly unmotivated today. It''s not even noon yet, and I already want a nap.

 

[jcarlylew]

Wl - oo. what didnt they serve? well, drinks all on the house, so we had quite a bit of bubbley Shoot! my sister has the menus, so lets see if i can remember it all.
1st course - champange with a squash bisque and a washington apple/goat cheese creme brule
2nd course - white wine (something sweet, i don''t remember which one) with finger potatoes, black truffle sauce and sweetbread. this was probably the least favorite dish out of the whole group. while i do not care for truffle sauce, everyone was commenting on how you couldnt taste it, the sweetbread was a bit chewy (i didn''t notice that) and the potatos were cold. oh, and the wine did not go to well with this meal.
3rd course - cedar wraped cod with some stuffs on it. another white wine (dry). this was good, except i do not like fish

4th course - braised short ribs with spatzle. and i know i spelled that wrong! AMAZING dish. AMAZING! plus served with red wine. which i was very happy about.
5th course - dessert! a maple custard (amazing! not to sweet, and a little spice (nutmeg)), yam sticky rice, pulled sugar, and huckleberries, served with dessert wine (this i only had a taster of. i am not a fan of dessert wine). oh and coffee.

meal #1 was by far my favorite!

Haha.

Umm.. I''m torn. I''m enjoying Aion because its new, and its pretty. But there SO MANY n00b programming mistakes, and certain controls that just don''t make sense. The framerate sucks compared to WoW. WoW is SO fluid and smooth. Aion is really jerky. The classes are not balanced at all. My 5 priest dueled DHs 7 mage and OWNED him twice in a row. Me = not so good at PVP. DH = awesome at PVP, and 2 levels higher! My mana point max was 1400 and a 75% heal to me only cost 29 MP! Thats a LOT of heals! How could anyone beat my priest at that point?

The game is prettier than WoW, but its just too similar, but not as intuitive. I thikn we''ll go back to WoW after we''ve leveled up our characters. I can''t see sticking with this game unless there are some serious changes.

When are you able to get the new laptop, Jcar? Which games are you going to play?
