I received a mysterious package in the mail today! On the elevator ride back up to my apartment, I was reading the return address and started to get excited: XXXX Virtual Way! Virtual Way, for those of you that don't know, means that it's from Nintendo!!

So I cut the box open, and there it was, my spiffy new Mario hat! For those of you that didn't read my blog a few months back, I decided on this as my reward for being a freakin' Platinum member of Club Nintendo (Platinum Member = spent $600 or more on recently released Nintendo products ).

It's become somewhat of a tradition that I pass all my silly hats on to my Kirby plushy. Why? Because the hats usually don't fit me, or they really have no practical use. So, here are the hats that I've aquired thus far:



Mario Hat! The only one that I have that Kirby actually wears in a video game...so far



This is Kirby's usual hang out...on mah couch watchin' the TV with me...I'm such a dork.




Another recently aquired hat is the Scribblenauts hat. It was meant to fit a child, so Kirby was the perfect candidate.
I got this for pre-ordering Scribblenauts through EBGames. Whoot.




Jayne Hat (Firefly)! This was my X-mas present to myself last year from Wear With Style.com. She makes them specially for you head size, though I think that I ordered mine a wee bit too big to account for all my hair! It's still super awesome...and cunning!




Ahh, the bone hat. This is the hat that started the Kirby tradition. He wore this hat proudly for a good couple of years.
I got this hat when I ordered the Duckman PC game from a software company (I really can't remember the name of it). They told me that they get promo stuff like this all the time, so they throw them in with orders. I think that I was more excited about the hat then the damn game that I was trying to find for months
For those wondering, the hat is promotion for a fairly tiny game development company called Headbone Interactive.


That's all for silly hats, a small collection at the moment, but I'm sure that it will keep growing




A friend of mine had his birthday party this past weekend. I promised him one of my sister's specially decorated bakery cakes, so I had her whip this up for him:










This is none other than the companion cube from the video game Portal! Not only does it look amazing, but it was also incredibly tasty too! Many kudos to my sister for being so talented



Aside from my adventures with Kirby, and zee cake eating, I've been hard at work in night school, and have been posting as many eBay auctions as I can to try and make ends meet.

I found this hilarious image on the top of one of the boxes that I had aquired for eBay shipments:



Uncle Ben's Rice box cracks me up.



If you haven't already done so, go check out my shiny new website! I have all my prints and books for sale on there, as well as my portfolio and links to the other various locations that you can find me around the internet.







Next: Zombie Walk tomorrow, and the countdown begins for Halloween! I'm so excited
