internet down
So our internet was down most of the day.
Actually I have to admit that for some reason I slept until 2pm today. I didn’t go to bed really late. Heck I normally go to bed around 2am or 3am. Last night I went to sleep at 1am. So I guess you could say that I actually went to sleep early.
Well, when I woke up, I couldn’t log onto the internet. So I ended up just playing games offline. It sucked because I was really hoping to get online for a little bit earlier today. It didn’t finally come up until 7pm.
At least I can get online now.
So the first thing I did when I got online was play Kingdom of Loathing. If you love tongue in cheek humor then you will love this game. It is entirely text based. There are some stick figures to break up the text. However, you really have to read the text. It is completely hilarious. There is something there to find for all ages.
One adventure I had was with something (sorry can’t remember exactly) singing the Rainbow Connection (song by Kermit the Frog in one of the Muppet Movies) but it was done like Yoda. It was completely oddball.
It is completely free to play. It is a basic adventure game. You can choose from several classes to play: pastamancer, sauceror, seal clubber, turtle tamer, disco bandit, and accordion thief. Each class has different spells that they can learn from their respective guilds.
The Kingdom celebrates several holidays: The Feast of Boris, Yuletide, Festival of Jarlsberg, St. Sneaky Pete’s Day, Valentine’s day, Oyster Day, El Dia De Los Muertos Borrachos, Generic Summer Holiday, Dependence Day, Arrrrbor Day, Labór Day, and Halloween. It has its own calendar, so the holidays roll around much more often. In fact, The Feast of Boris is coming up on January 20th.
Each holiday has its own adventures, items, foods, and drinks. They are a lot of fun.
Well, I am going to go read.
Our electricity has been going everyday for 2hrs this week - really sucks.
BTW I have linky love tagged you.

Thanks for the tag. I already have it up on my site.
I hate when the electricity goes out like that. I always worry about the food in the fridge going bad. We have a freezer in the garage that doesn’t always come back on when the power does. So if we aren’t home when the power goes off, it may stay off until someone notices that the power had gone out.
