Hopefully I will get to pay a little something in the next couple of days.  If not, I should have plenty of time (20 hours to be precise) to play GBA games.  I am flying out to Frankfurt, Germany this Sunday, and back home on Friday December 3rd.  Plane trips suck, especially these long Europe trips \u2013 they drag on and on and on and \u2026 well, you get the picture.  Thankfully my GBA and iPod are there to get me through the experience.  Too bad the new Final Fantasy I and II GBA title is not going to be out in time to help me with this trip.<\/p>\n<p>My Seinfield Season 1-3 DVDs arrived a couple of days ago.  Man, my wife and I love this show.  I know it is on all over the place, but there is nothing like getting to watch something when you actually have time to watch that something.  I probably have too many DVDs, but these are absolutely worth owning.<\/p>\n<p>I hope everyone that celebrates turkey day had a great Thanksgiving!  What a wonderful day we had at the Calvert household.  We had the meal catered in \u2013 turkey, dressing, sweat potato casserole, and some great BlackStone chardonnay (1999) for starters.  Plenty of other good stuff including champagne to go with pumpkin and chocolate chess pies.  All in all, a very good meal \u2013 too bad the football pretty much sucked.  Even if you are a Colts fan \u2013 Payton was awesome \u2013 the game sucked.  The Dallas game really sucked.  Oh well, maybe Texas will play well today and I hope that Georgia beats the living snot out of the bumble bees tomorrow.<\/p>\n<p>The holiday season kicked off, but we stayed home.  Tonya and I did our shopping via the internet.  You have to love Amazon \u2013 you can get pretty much anything you need to pickup for Christmas presents.  EBGames online had some pretty solid deals \u2013 the same ones they were advertising in-store.  It is pretty unusual for stores to honor sale prices online, and even with the sales tax added, I saved a good deal.  Joshua has been asking for Kirby Air Ride since forever, but I have not wanted to spend $50 on it because I have read such poor reviews.  I got it on the cheap this morning, along with the newest Midway Arcade Treasures \u2013 hey I had to get me something!  Arcade Treasures for $9.99 was a major bargain.<\/p>\n<p>The Frankfurt trip will suck the life out of me, so do not be surprised if the content is fairly sparse this week.<\/p>\n<div class=\"addtoany_share_save_container addtoany_content_bottom\"><div class=\"a2a_kit a2a_kit_size_ addtoany_list a2a_target\" id=\"wpa2a_1\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.addtoany.com\/share\" onclick=\"__gaTracker('send', 'event', 'outbound-article', 'https:\/\/www.addtoany.com\/share', '');\" class=\"a2a_dd addtoany_share_save\"><img src=\"http:\/\/www.calvertgames.com\/cgblog\/wp-content\/plugins\/add-to-any\/share_save_171_16.png\" width=\"171\" height=\"16\" alt=\"Share\"\/><\/a>\n<script type=\"text\/javascript\"><!--\nif(wpa2a)wpa2a.script_load();\n\/\/--><\/script>\n<\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I have not had a whole heck of a lot of time for gaming lately, but I still get by.
