After Christmas, we decided to do a family activity. I suggested marathon gaming. They went on a road trip to Death Valley.
The best part of it was the run. Here’s us getting ready to run.
Then we ran.
It was so good we needed a nap afterwards.
I had this idea once we were back home again that we would be getting right onto our gaming machines.
Instead I learnt that all the family was already in town, and that gaming would have to wait.
At least the positive was that I got to build a B-Wing space ship featured in a movie that I haven’t yet seen yet.
There’s got to be some positive to that?
I’m good at directing things to be built.
It’s Christmas! It’s one of my favourite holidays again! It’s a strange Christmas though because we had no tree and hardly any Christmas decorations. But at least we have Christmas gifts!
We’ve been away for a long time so I’m sure my bud must have gotten me some cool game presents to make up for it.
I was in such a good mood I made the effort to 3D print some cool Christmas name tags. I focused on blinging out the name of the giver. That’s the important part after all.
And then it was time to open my presents.
First I got Canadian Smarties. They’re cool. But I’m already a pretty smart bear.
Then my bud got a bandana. I took it and put it on. Looks better on me anyway.
Next I got to the packages that were from my bud. I can’t wait to see what they are!
STEAM GAME CONTROLLERS! Yesss! I have more ways to game. I knew my bud would come through for Christmas.
To the media room, Nicholas!
Can’t wipe that grin off my face. I’m heading home!
And I’m heading home in style! I get to hang out in the Cathay Pacific Business lounge in Hong Kong with bowls full of Tim Tams*.
Gaming here we come!
Tim Tams :
(these will do when a bear’s desperate enough)
Shortly after we arrived to Hong Kong, Peep disappeared. I didn’t pay much attention to that, and assumed he was off hunting for coffee.
I guess I started getting worried after a few months had passed. One day I happened to look up and found out that, for some unbeknownst reason, the ridiculous bunny had decided to dangle himself off the ceiling beams.
I eventually realized that the bunny was trying to do a leap of faith into the coffee pot below, but naturally, didn’t think through the logistics before he got himself all tangled up there.
Well he wasn’t bothering anyone up there…so I left him there.
Today we are finally leaving Hong Kong. So I (reluctantly) told Nicholas that we better rescue the bunny.
“You ready to come down now Peep?” I ask.
“Peep.” said Peep.
That crazy bunny still wants to do a leap of faith.
“You realize leaps of faith are for experts? Not everyone can master the jump.” I caution.
“Peep” said Peep.
I sigh. “Fine, let the bunny do what he wants.”
“1 – 2 — ”
Peep falls to the ground and promptly faceplants himself.
Sigh. I still don’t know what to do with that bunny.
At least he recovered enough to still have a go at the coffee.
The countdown has begun. I get to go home soon! In celebration, I even got my very own suitcase!
T-3. Yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes!!!!
Duffy and I are suffering in our hotel-prison. Can’t…hold…on…. Need meds….
The whole reason we are in Hong Kong is because of my minions. I’m a little mad at the Peers but I have to maintain a good facade when I’m around these Peers. So here I am buddying up with P4 even though I want to smack him.
Smile and wave, fellows. Smile and wave. <smack> You better be worth it P4! I could have been gaming at home this whole time.
