I took this picture, then another one of my inventory with the key and my game name, which I sent off to the event email.  I hope I made it in time!  I played this ... http://blog.sanriotown.com/euphoriafish:kuririnmail.com/2008/10/30/empire-key-booyah/ If you want to be blog buddies, add me to your blogroll! http://blog.sanriotown.com/euphoriafish:kuririnmail.com/2008/10/29/link-to-me/ My cat, Shadow, was howling the "I'm upset, where are you???" cry just now. When I called out, "Shadow, what's wrong? I'm in here!" she came running in, still meowing, and dropped a piece of meat on the floor. She was so excited, at first I thought ... http://blog.sanriotown.com/euphoriafish:kuririnmail.com/2008/10/29/hello-kitty/ Did I mention that I spent a year in Japan three years ago? It’s well nigh impossible to live in Japan for any period of time without developing at least a little bit of nostalgia for bento.  Bento is simply a boxed lunch, but is usually arranged in the box ... http://blog.sanriotown.com/euphoriafish:kuririnmail.com/2008/10/28/i-love-bento-and-i-miss-japan/ Here's another one.

I've been a huge Harmonix fan ever since Frequency, but on Frequency and Amplitude there was always a bar of difficulty I couldn't cross.  I would ace the single player game on both easy and medium, and then hit the bar in the middle of ... http://blog.sanriotown.com/euphoriafish:kuririnmail.com/2008/09/16/guitar-hero-continues-to-be-awesome-on-the-ds/
