World Peace

God keeps making this whole placement deal sweeter and sweeter. The 3rd season of Project Runway just debuted. The cast of 15 include designers from Santa Monica, New York, Miami Beach, San Francisco, Minneapolis, Atlanta, and --- that's right --- Norman, Oklahoma. Jonathan Kayne Gillaspie (see right) owns a store in Norman and apparently is a mogul in the pageant fashion industry. In December of 2005, he dressed the entire top five teens and the winner and first runner up in the Miss Oklahoma U.S.A. pageant. Will this mean my future town will soon be hopping with celebs? Probably not. But will I visit his store just to check? Of course.

Top Ten Video Games
01. Final Fantasy VI - SNES: My favorite plotline of any game ever. I walked in on my brother playing and wanted to know what was going on. He was only at Narshe, so he offered to start over and we could play it together. I was blown away. The music also rocks.
02. Halo: Combat Evolved - XBOX: This needs no explanation. I had two guy friends in high school that constantly played and were short of friends, so they dragged along a sorry girl who could hardly hold the controller correctly. I loved the multi-player competition and ended up buying an XBOX (or, as I called it, a Halo-playing machine) in order to get good enough to beat them.
03. Zelda: A Link to the Past - SNES: Another fun storyline with plenty of side-plots and adventures. I loved full-health sword swish beam. And I love blowing the flute to take me across the world.
04. Lemmings - SNES: Awesome puzzle game with green-haired guys who died in delightful ways.
05. MarioKart - SNES: My brother claims that I bullied him so much that he would lose on purpose when we played. It makes sense, since I won almost every time and he has clearly always been my superior when it comes to gaming.
06. Super Mario World - SNES: Jumping on huge bullet baddies to knock them away.
07. Dr. Mario - NES: Tetris-like game that I played at my grandparents house. Kill the germs!
08. Yoshi's Island - SNES: Pooping out eggs and shooting them at the badguys.
09. Final Fantasy IV - SNES: I only played through this one in college. Enjoyed it thoroughly.
10. Contra - NES: The coveted Spreader gun turned my brother and I against each other.
Runners Up
Paperboy - NES
Joe and Mack - SNES
