DS-cellent

Well, we both submitted. On Friday we walked in to Future Shop to pick up a Nintendo DS Lite, and we walked out with TWO! Now we are able to take advantage of the two-person features like Pictochat (ridiculously entertaining), and multiplayer modes. It seems each DS unit can communicate with other DS units within a range of approximately 80 feet. With basically means that Col and I will be able to attempt to destroy each other in Bomberman and Tetris without having to lug around a wire. Keen! The manual does strongly warn about using this communication mode in hospitals or on airplanes, so I suppose we will want to keep it to single player modes during our flights. I wouldn't want to suddenly start controlling the plane! :)

Heading Back to the Emerald Isle

I haven't written in months! I have been really busy with school, but still... The school year is wrapping up. Overall, I am pretty happy with how it went. I still have two more exams and another paper, but it will all be over in less then a week. It looks like we will be returning to Ireland for about a month and a half. We won't have the laptops but I want to try to keep up with this little space. I am going to bring a notebook and write at least half of a page everyday that I can transcribe up onto the blog once I return. Hopefully the camara keeps working for us and we figure out a better method of downloading and storing our photos. Anyhoo, I'd better get working on that last paper...
