Let’s play name the energy drinks

My best bear bud Nicholas and I have a tendency to stay up late.

For games.

For him to make money so I can play games.

For long road trips where I don’t get to game but I insist he keep driving so we can get home and I can play games all the sooner.

Anyway, Nicholas’ best human friend Drew wanted to test his bud’s knowledge of energy drinks, so we set up a blind taste test.

I had faith.  He wasn’t going to let his best bear bud down.  Otherwise it’s a smack in the face from my paw!  The stakes were high.

Best bear bud success!  Ok we can celebrate by making hot cocoa for me.

And now that he’s all wired up on energy drinks we can game all night!

Une scène noire dans l’après-midi

Late afternoon.

It is raining, as it always does.  A steady patter of water strikes the windows and walls of the workshop.

Within the workshop, there is a bear.  And his bud.  Both are silent.

The bear sits and watches with intense concentration, completely fixated on the task at hand.  With every stitch, an object begins to take form.

The bear continues to watch.  It is coming closer to completion.

It is a hat.  His hat.

Finally it is done.  He leans over and examines the finished work.

Then, with a nod of satisfaction, he dons the Fedora hat.

He is now ready.

Thanks for making me a hat Nicholas!  This dapper bear is ready to play detective in LA Noir!

Farewell Chile

Well, it’s been almost 7 months in Chile and now it’s time to say goodbye.

Chile, it’s been fun.  I liked playing tourist.  I didn’t like my lack of internet.  I tolerated my amount of gaming and I enjoyed hoarding alfajores  — but let’s be real.  It’s time to get back on a plane and get back to some real gaming and bear tin growing!

Adios!  Let’s go Nicholas!

 

Super Sumi Saturday

mybed-3Today is a very important day.

So important, in fact, that I’ve given it its own name…never mind that it happens every week. Here it is — wait for it —

Super. Sumi. Saturday. !

Super Sumi Saturdays are meant for two things, and two things only.  Gaming.  And Sleeping in.

Here I am taking a break from smacking my best bear bud awake to let us both recover.

Sufficient rest is important.  We have to be in tip top form for these challenging activities. Because, let’s be frank.  We all know what comes after 24 hours of this stuff.

Super Sumi Sunday.

Oh indeed.
