My typing is awful today. I just typed Harry ]otter and Harry Poo in front of a class of hyper 10 and 11 year olds. *groan*
My weekend was fantabulous. On Saturday I played lots and lots of Civ2 and did exercises and stretches so it didn't hurt me, then we had Svend's Buffy game which was wild fun. And THEN we played Singstar at my place. On the Projector. Read different accounts here and here. My account goes like this:
Singstar is awesome fun. We played this team game where it called up different members of each team to compete in different ways. Randomised songs made this one a lot of fun. Dam you Daniel Bedingfield and your song none of us had heard before!
It was a battle of the sexes game and luckily it was a draw. Heads may have rolled otherwise.
Then we played the actual singstar game and took turns being the star. Lee got into it after arriving in the final round of the previous game and being very anti-kareoke. I had a great time. My best score was for Madonna's Like a Virgin I think. I was very excited to do Avril Levigne's Complicated but by the time I got to do it my voice was cracking from the pressure. Too much singing along with other people's songs and yelling to encourage people. Therefore I didn't give it the best I might have. Stupid voice giving out on me.
I also finished the Curious Incident which is completely awesome. I am now reading Thunder Road by Ted Dawe and it isn't grabbing me yet. It won the Young Adult section of the NZ children's book awards and is about boy racers in Auckland. We'll see how it goes.
I read yesterday and played more Civ2. Lee bought a piece of furniture. It's going into the kitchen so we can finally move our microwave into a place it can be reached by shorties like me. Hooray!
