It’s showtime, baby (bear)!

Posted on December 25, 2014 by sumi

The one blingy thing we DID do on Christmas Day was we went to see a show. Since Pokin and PoOn wanted to save some money they got the kind of tickets that didn’t come with assigned seating.

So we waited outside the theatre for over an hour to make sure we got an okay seat. No matter. I was in good spirits.

Eventually we were allowed in. Show time!! Turns out the theatre isn’t super big anyway so there were no bad seats in the house.

We went to see V-the Variety show because nobody could decide what we wanted to see. So we got a little bit of everything. I got to see juggling, magic, physical comedy, some skating and some strong people lift other strong people. I liked it. Here was the cast. The two guys from the right were the guys who were originally part of the strong men sequence in Mystere. That’s cool. It’s nice to see other strong beings.

Good show. Go Nicholas, go faster. Let’s go gaming. Go faster.

A Vegasy Christmas

Posted on December 25, 2014 by sumi

We’re in Vegas, so there should have been so much bling! But my bud said we’d do a low key Christmas. It was so low key we did our gift exchange in a room with white walls and a white desk.

Still I was in a festive mood and I was a pretty generous bear this year. Santa Sumi went to town! I made sure my bud had some sweet presents.

And my bud didn’t disappoint. He got me a raptor.

And I got to try on some mittens.

There was even a calendar made with my face on it.

It’ll do for this year being a low key Christmas. But there still should have been more bling.

The new bear

Posted on December 18, 2014 by sumi

Word must have gotten out on the street about my home being some sort of bear haven.

Today marked the arrival of not one, but 4 more bears.

WHAT ARE FOUR EXTRA BEARS DOING IN THIS HOUSE???

This house is only big enough for one bear. ME.

I don’t like where this is going. I don’t need extra bears around. I liked being the biggest bear on the block.

Hmm. Then again, the big fluffy one is kind of cuddly. Maybe he’s not so bad. Ok you can stay, and I shall name you Blanket. And you shall not game, but you shall tuck me in and keep me warm at night.

Good night, Blanket bear.

It’s beginning to feel a lot like Christmas

With my bear box decimated from the Big Ass TV purchase, I wasn’t able to finance a Big Ass Tree this year. So at first I was worried it wouldn’t really be that festive.

But then a package arrived. Happy Holidays, the box said.

Triple Chocolate Cookies! Double Fudge! This must be the first of many Christmas presents for me! Oh Christmas! I can’t wait!! I got so excited I dove right into the box.

This is the way to kick off celebrations!

Operation Big Ass TV

Posted on October 16, 2014 by sumi

For as long as I can remember I’d been saving money for my TV. Not just any TV. A big one. At the time, Nicholas only had a 42″ TV, and I told him we needed to do way better than that. I wanted an 80″ TV. This bear has big gaming needs. Needs that can only be fulfilled by a Big Ass TV.

Turns out a Big Ass 80″ TV takes a really long time to save for, and I wasn’t getting anywhere close anytime soon despite diligent and vigilant watching over my bud’s wallet for the presence of dollar bills.

Well we were browsing Best Buy one day and my bud jokingly said “I wonder how much projectors cost instead.” Turns out they were much cheaper than 80″ TVs! This is it! My Big Ass screen opportunity!

So we ran into the room, we pulled out my bear box and I started counting bills. Oh yeah. We have enough!

“Get thee a TV for me,” I commanded.

And then a package arrived. My projector!

And then another. Actually it arrived to FedEx but I was impatient and I made my bud go and get it despite the package being oversized and not actually fitting in the car and all. My screen!

Oh yeah, Big Ass TV gaming and moving watching action is about to start. Move over bear bud. I’m getting comfortable for my moving watching marathon. Forget about 80″ TV screens. This Bear got 125″ !!

Our new home

Posted on September 20, 2014 by sumi

Off the boat and on a truck we went. Time to move to our new home in Las Vegas! Since we moved into a fixer home, I guess there will be a lot of ripping things out and putting things back together again. I can do that. I’m good at being a foreman bear. Nicholas, pick up the pickaxe! Let’s rip some stuff up!!

Hmm…maybe we’re going to need to wait out the storm first. This looks like some really wet weather.

Where my bud was born

Posted on September 14, 2014 by sumi

Today I arrived in Boston, where my bear bud came from. So naturally one of the first stops was to the house my bear bud grew up in.

Somehow I’d been expecting tree forts and space stations, but I guess a good old beige home helps fuel the imagination.

So I shall actually imagine that my bear bud grew up in a space age tree fort. With lasers. Big ones. Yeah.

What every day should be

Posted on July 18, 2014 by sumi

Every day should be like this.

Gaming day with my bud and I.

gamingathome

Sadly there’s been a dearth of gaming. My bud tricked me in this picture. He told me there would be gaming. I sat down. We took this picture. Then he took apart our gaming desk!

What is happening, cruel world? Why is everything in boxes?!?!?!

The ambush.

Posted on July 6, 2014 by sumi

Pokin threatens to give me baths all the time. Usually I take them at face value = I see them as empty threats.

Then this one time, she sounded like she meant it.

Just in case, I thought I’d better hide.

She found me.

sumibath-1

She meant it. #%*(&@#!!

A shower it was. Doh.

sumibath-2

I thought maybe if I pretended to like it she would give up.

sumibath-3

No such luck.

sumibath-4

I’m going under! Be calm, self. Be calm.

sumibath-5

Survived that. Ok brace yourself. Here comes the wipe down.

sumibath-6

Ok lady, enough already.

sumibath-7

Let me just do it myself.

sumibath-8

OK!!! I am clean enough!!!

sumibath-9

At least on the bright side, now that I’m clean and very wet I can do one of my favourite things.

sumibath-10

Lie in ambush to give Nicholas very wet hugs in the face.

sumibath-11

Oh yeah.

Pyrotechnic action on the street

Posted on July 4, 2014 by sumi

Finally it was time for fireworks! I waited a long time for this! Explosions! Lights!

These aren’t lasers, but it’s the closest thing I’ve got on paw right now.

We need chairs to enjoy this right.

Jane and Bob thought maybe I’d share a chair with Nicholas but I wasn’t having any of that so I just took his chair. Besides, he’s got no time to sit if he’s lighting fireworks for me.

One guy even threw fireworks at Nicholas by accident. Good thing my bear bud hones his reflexes all day long gaming with yours truly.

This is awesome. Fireworks should be legal every day.

Hi, I'm Sumi
