For my first blog entry I wanted to post something that was hopefull, a little bit cool! I only got my Nintendo DS at Christmas time (2006) and have only got five games so far: Dr Kawashima’s Brain Training, Children of Mana, Final Fantasy III, Tetris DS and Final Fantasy Fables: Chocobo Tales. I play my DS a lot, more than my PSP (although I don’t really have any games that I want to play on my PSP though) and at the moment I’m addicted to Tetris!

I must admit that I was never that much of a Tetris fan; yes I had an original Gameboy and yes I did play Tetris on it but I was never that fanatical about it (I think I was too young and teddies seemed more fun!), but after seeing Hikkichan’s super Tetris skills I so badly wanted to have it so I could be like her! Shameless fanatacism I’m sure but wanting to be good at Tetris isn’t a bad goal is it? Hikkichan is amazing at Tetris! She managed to get the top score of 99,999,999 for it on the DS and that is sooo amazing!

When I first started to play it, I was lucky if I got past 50 lines! Yesterday I completed 200 lines on level 20 and then later on decided to go for broke and put on Endless mode. I played until the wee hours of the morning before my right arm went numb… then my left one and then I closed it! I carried on this morning but got a bit bored. My top score is 4,726,000 so far – that’s 95,273,999 points away from the top score – I dunno how she managed to get that score! She must have had to have taken breaks and stuff – her whole body would be numb otherwise!

In the picture of my DS above, you can also see my cute little phone charm that I attached to my DS. It’s of Hello Kitty dressed up like a bunny as part of a Chinese zodiac range and I’m a rabbit so tuhdah! Hello Kitty, Chinese zodiac bunny style! I love phone charms (or straps as I normally call them), lots and lots! I import them from Strapya which is a Japan based online store selling phone straps. They have sooo many different ones and they’re relatively cheap so I’ve bought lots! I can’t remember how many I have, but I have a few, my favourite being a chibi Jack Skellington (from Nightmare Before Christmas) dressed in a Santa Claus outfit that I put on my phone last Christmas. My brother recently went to Disneyland Paris and brought me a Mickey Mouse phone strap that is now on my Nintendo Wi-fi USB Connector! They’re just too cute not to collect!

I’ll leave you now with Utada Hikaru winning against lots of geeks at Tetris! Go Hikkichan!
