Okay, it's official. The best thing in the world is my mother playing video games.

She and I have slowly been working our way through Cooking Mama on the Wii. I picked it up because it's not a terribly complicated game, so I though Mom would be able to enjoy it. Well...we do certainly enjoy it, but she's not very good at it *laugh* I'm only marginally better.

Tonight's adventure. GUITAR HERO.

My sister is home for the weekend (since she has a doctor's appointment tomorrow), so the three of us played because my father is a real stick-in-the-mud about joining us for these things. Oh god, it's been a long time since I laughed that hard. Mom is HORRIBLE! Oh, she got a lot better as the evening went on, but for a while Bug and I were actually counting the notes out loud for her XD She's improving, though! Yay Mommy!

Turns out I'm the only one with any actual skill at this game in my family :D Oh god. Bug took the controller after Mom was done with a song and said, "Now let the pro show you how it's done." And Mom replied, "But it's not [Candy]'s turn yet!" God, I was laughing so hard I couldn't even BREATHE. That was an awesome few hours ^______^


In other news, kaitodoushi is pretty much the most amazing person on the planet. Because she is so awesome, my parents are going to Spamalot with us on December third. Oh, and Kat? Rach? Mom asked if we had pre-show plans, and said that going out to dinner sounds kind of awesome. So we need to figure out what we want to do soon :D :D :D


And now I am going to plot out some NaNo stuff. I was intending to do a bunch of writing tonight, but I was kidnapped for gamings, and so now...ehhhh...I have to have a massive writing day tomorrow XDD So time to get stuff thought of! *grabs Neo and puts on Evil Plotting Hat*

I know what you mean about your mom playing video games. It is fun to watch my dad play Halo 3 with my little brother. ^_^ In fact, it is downright hilarious.

Mom is getting better, I will say. Every time we play something, she gets a little better at controlling the thing. Bug and I want to get her going on Legend of Zelda :D Sis was playing that on the GameCube last night before we started Guitar Hero :)
