Before I get to that though, I want to thank everyone that commented on my last blog. I actually feel a lot better than when I wrote that, simply because I had a conversation with my mom and we figured out that my “depression” was coming from that fact that I didn’t want her thinking I was some stereotypical “loser,” who’d be perfectly content mooching off of her for the rest of my life.

Why did I think that she would think that? Well, it all stems back to something my sister had said to me a few weeks ago about my not having a job, which led to me comparing myself to her husband, my brother-in-law, who is …well …not very motivated (to put it nicely) and tends to be one of the aforementioned who IS content doing nothing.

So, I’m definitely a lot happier now than I was a few days ago, since I know my mom is completely ok with my situation and demands nothing of me. It’s a great feeling, let me tell you. That doesn’t mean I’ve given up on the job search mind you, it just means that from now on, I’m not going to worry about it as if my life depended on it anymore.

But, yes, I promised you reviews, so here you go:

• Brain Quest Grades 3&4
• Brain Quest Grades 5&6
• Fashion Solitaire
• Unsolved Crimes

And the preview:

• Freaky Creatures

Another reason that my mood has lifted is that over the past couple of days, I did a bit of Christmas shopping (since ANY shopping makes me feel happier, and it’s not like I was wasting money since I was going to buy Christmas presents eventually anyway), and I’ve also been lucky enough to receive quite a few new games to review/preview. Here’s my list of things to work on over the next two weeks and beyond (more for my own reference, but I thought you all might be interested as well):

• Pipe Mania DS
• Pipe Mania PS2
• Animal DS
• Littlest Pet Shop – Winter DS
• Halo Interactive Strategy Board Game (yes, board game – wheeee)
• Tak and the Guardians of Gross PS2
• Avatar the Last Airbender: Into the Inferno PS2
• Lovely Lisa DS
• Princess Debut DS (two words: LOVE IT)
• Kookeys (PC – kinds of like Webkinz)
• Tracksters Online Racing (like Webkinz only with cars instead of stuffed animals)

Whew, I think that’s it…

Until next time all!
