Day 2642-2655 in NYC and Virginia
Posted by Camilla on July 22nd, 2016 filed in NY Updates, VirginiaDay 2642
Soo I may have exaggerated a bit with the gaming yesterday LOL I was all excited since the game was so awesome, the graphics were absolutely stunning…to the point where I was climbing a mountain and the camera panned out and down and I literally felt that sucking feeling in my stomach as if the image was real and I was getting vertigo LOL Astounding! As I am playing all of a sudden I realize it is light outside again…oops it was 6:15 in the morning LMAO!! Yeah I guess a little sleep break was warranted 😀 Woke up a couple of hours later then back to the game 😀 Finished up Uncharted…yeah I liked the story, I liked the game play, and I like the graphics…all in all a fun game 😀
Of course now I am in gaming mode so I picked up Witcher 3 again…this is one of those games where I had a long weekend to play when I started it but then it turned out it was so massive I never got a chance to finish it. Then of course new Assassins Creed games came out so I sort of put it on a shelf 🙂 Well I dusted it off and started where I had left off! This is another really good game it has a really large map, lots of side missions, and tons of monster caves etc. I ended up traveling to a place called Skellige…so it is up in the north with ice and snow…yep the people all dress and act like “vikings” except they put horns on their helmets LOL Did go to bed at a somewhat regular time 😀
Day 2643
Back to Witcher 3 and Skellige. Fun conversations had and I managed to get a Queen selected instead of a King…yeah cause I roll like that LMAO!! Killed monsters and ran down trying to get as much treasure as possible to be able to get better swords and upgrades. So one of the things with Skellige is that a lot of the treasures are underwater and I am just not comfortable under water in the sea…even if there are no sharks LMAO!!! Put the game away tidied up the apartment and then it was time to head to bed!
Day 2644
Always a little hard to get up in the morning on Mondays since I ruin my whole sleep schedule on the weekends LOL I did get off to work though! Busy day at work making sure everything was set up for the Event Bill was having over the next couple of days. I got to see Viggo Mortensen today! Yeah he is as cool in real life as he is on screen…definitely eye candy!!
Back home after work for some more Witcher 3, I am moving on with the next part in the main story which is to collect this creature that has a curse on him/her and try to remove the curse!! Lots of cut scenes…I like it 😀 Then time to head to bed!
Day 2645
Up early had to be at work early for the event to make sure everything set up ok. Got to work all good everything set, meeting start on time ;D Busy day, got everyone off to the dinner then headed home for…guess…yes!! Witcher 3 😀 So many side missions!
Day 2646
Off to work in the am. Good day at work, go to see The Cousins which was exciting…then even more exciting Benjamin Bratt totally age appropriate eye candy!! Wow is all I can say 😀 Total charmer! Sent the boss off in the afternoon for his mini vacation. Home and back to some more Witcher 3…no I am not obsessed…well ok maybe a little 😀
Day 2647
Another day another dollar 😀 up and at them in the morning! Work was calm got caught up on a lot of things! Back home in the afternoon to play some more Witcher 3…I know this game does not end! Right now I am roaming the world to find people to play Gwent with…I know a game within the game LMAO!! Off to bed a little late since I decided to sort of take the day off tomorrow!
Day 2648
Up in the am, was going to play my game but I ended up catching up to Orphan Black instead and working most of the day 😀 You know what they say about best laid plans LOL Did start the gaming later in the evening! Finishing up some side missions before heading to the ending of the main mission! Stayed up a little too late playing…but then again I do believe I am a teenager LOL
Day 2649
Lazy wakeup…yes I do love those! Watched some more Orphan Black then back to Witcher 3! Got a text from Beth we decided to meet up for drinks and dinner, we got Ramen from Zundo-ya…yummylicious!! Both my friend and I sat thinking about the fact that in this Japanese Ramen place there were no Asians in the kitchen…that was a little different 😀 I know in the past when we have gone there used to be an Asian chef but today there were none…I guess the knowledge was passed on to the other chefs in the kitchen…maybe I need to get a job as a chef there then when I know how to cook their Ramen I can head to the next place…then I can make my own delicious Ramen at home!!! On the other hand then I would not get the pleasure of eating out 😀 After Ramen we headed over to Black & White for some drinks…always nice with a little Malibu Bay Breeze in the summer!
Back home I powered up the PS4 and went back to Witcher3! I did go to bed somewhat early, around 1 am, since I am supposed to do laundry tomorrow!
Day 2650
Weird wakeup! Had this dream that made no sense at all, I was with my Nephew, but he had a different face, and my newphews father, who had a different face too, and we were having this conversation about my nephews sons. We had this disagreement on bringing them to this concert…and no I was not the reasonable sane person saying that children should not go to concerts LOL I had bought them these headsets to cover their ears…so in retrospect I would not go to a concert since I hate crowds, and I sure wouldn’t bring small children to a concert LMAO ahh well like I said the dream made no sense at all! So I turned around and slept a little more LMAO Eventually I did get up, had some breakfast while watching Orpan Black then it was time to play some more Witcher 3…so I started on the, what I thought, last main mission! Well it turned out it was not the last one!! There was more to come after WoooHoooo 😀 Needless to say there was no laundry done…luckily it was not one of those weeks where I had to do laundry or dress in grown up clothes the rest of the week LOL As I am sitting there I am realizing that I did not see my DLC’s I bought when I checked the main menu last, so I looked into that. Turned out the downloads had failed, restarted the down loads and kept playing. I was getting ready to save and turn off, since work day tomorrow, but I couldn’t LOL I had to wait until the downloads were done!! So I kept playing a little later than I should have…ahh well there was nothing I could do I had to wait until I could Save 😀
Day 2651
Will admit it was a little hard to get up this morning, but I did get up! Off to work, really good day at work. Karl Urban was in the office today! He has had parts in a lot of movies I like, Doom, Lord of the Rings, The Chronicles of Riddick, and more 😀 Headed out to walk home from work and just as I stepped out o the building it started Pouring down there was lightning and thunder…lovely…I see all the people huddled under store awnings and I thought to myself “It’s warm, who cares about a little rain” LOL well I did arrive home completely soaked 😀
Finished up the evening with some Witcher 3 then off to bed!
Day 2652
Good wakeup off early to work had to make sure everything prepped before travel tomorrow. On my walk to work I made the decision to stop with the whole eye candy thing! After all it could be considered demeaning to refer to someone as eye candy as if they had no other value, since the people at my job are all very intelligent I should not refer to them as eye candy…that was my decision this morning! Had a good day at work, very busy but I like that. The AV guys installed a mic in our CEO’s office this evening and to test it his Chief of Staff was singing a little song as I was walking out so of course I start laughing!! Caught the eye of a co-worker who asked where it was coming from told him where it was and who was singing shared a little laugh 🙂 With that all my resolve about not thinking eye candy has flown out the window!! ROTFL…also just to clarify to everyone out there who may be reading this, eye candy is just that Eye candy something pretty to look at 😀
Spent the evening packing for the trip tomorrow, finished last season of Orphan Black, made sure all electronics were charging, then off to bed!
Day 2653
Finished packing the electronics then got a car to go to the office, yeah a little too warm to be lugging suitcase around LOL Good morning at work, made sure the boss had everything he needed for his trip, he was leaving a little later than me. Car to the train and I will admit I did a personal upgrade to first…yeah I may be a tad bit spoiled! Good train ride, gotta love the personal hotspot on the iPhone! Great WiFi all the way to DC. Arrived and picked up the car and then headed out in total traffic! Yep remember why I love not having to drive a car in NY ;D Decided to take a longer route to the hotel since I did not feel like being stuck in traffic on 495, ended up on 29 going to Falls Church then a turn onto 7…took 7 through Tyson’s before getting on the Tollroad the rest of the way 🙂 While driving through Tyson’s I was amazed at all the changes! The metro is all built with overpasses to get to the station, looks great! I also saw a halfway demolished building with what looked like an apartment on top 😀
Got to Lansdowne without any major issues, checked into the room and went down to get some food…so I had been considering their Loaded Fries yummy decadence with cheese, bacon and sourcream…well Noo they had changed their menu and now it was all healthy crap!! No fun at all! Ahh well I had to eat something so I picked pulled chicken that had a side of veggies and tolde them No veggies and a side order of fries, nope turns out it was not a side of veggies it was all mixed in with the chicken so I had to pick something else. Well since everything else had Veggies in it I had to go with a burger…and I remember from the past that they serve it on a potato bun so I was not really looking forward to it, but again have to eat! Had a drink while waiting for my food then up to the room for dinner and a movie 😀 Wasn’t many choices when it came to movies but found one with Gerard Butler I think it was called Gods of Egypt or something like that, all good nice age appropriate eye candy while eating is not a bad thing 😀 After the movie time to head to bed!
Day 2654
Off to work in the morning, feels strangely familiar to be driving to work in the morning, sort of like I never left but at the same time there are so many new things that have cropped up 😀 Busy day, making sure Bill had everything he needed, running around for a couple of impromptu meetings. Ran into some people I had not seen in a long time 😀 Found out some awesome news from iMandrews 😀 Had lunch with Helen outside got caught up, we were meeting with Jennifer later for Dinner. Day went by real quick! Went with Jennifer to Hotel to drop car and bag then off to check out her little cozy single girls pad!! Super cute! After that off to On The Border for some cheese dip, some chips and awesome salsa, some tacos and then I was so full I almost died…but we did get a churros with caramel inside to share LMAO then I was ready to just die!!! But it was an awesome dinner with Jennifer and Helen 😀 Back to the Hotel and passed out LOL
Day 2655
Off to work in the am, got a chocolate croissant for breakfast 😀 Busy but good morning! Lunch with Helen then all of a sudden it was time for our afternoon event 😀 Got to chat with some old co-workers I hadn’t seen for a while 😀 It was funny when one of the guys asked me what I did to get younger LMAO such a good liar 😀 Boss headed out then it was time for me to pack up. Drive into DC was uneventful, got a seat on the earlier train was a little concerned since the train kept popping on the track…yeah I don’t know how else to describe it. There would be a large popping sound and then the train car would lurch to the side…not very comforting LOL
Arrived safe and sound at NY Penn 😀 Got in my car and then I got taken on a tour of the city LOL the guy went all the way down to the lower end of West Village so I thought he was going to east and get on 4th St, but no he was lost so he ended turning around and going back up to 14th St LOL well I did finally arrive home! Now I am just going to play a little Witcher 3 then it is off to bed 😀
LOTSA LOVE!!!
