Speaking Of N...

Like I said, I've been playing a lot of N ever since I downloaded it. Here's my current progress.



Each square represents an episode consisting of five stages. As you complete columns, new "flavours" (i.e. colours) of ninja are unlocked. You start with a black ninja, but you can eventually choose from colours like blue, brown and pink (my favourite so far). As you can see, I've completed 32 episodes and 160 stages thus far, with many more to go.

N is 100% free to download; I highly recommend it. It's not a game where button bashing is the key to success; you'll need to strategize and think your way through each stage.

Plans For The Weekend #2

I was planning to see the new X-Men Origins movie tomorrow morning for $6.00, but seeing the middling reviews that it's getting, I might scrap that plan. By contrast, Star Trek comes out next week, but it's already earning positive reviews. Mind you, future reviews could lower the average critical ratings, but if enough of them say that you don't have to be a Trekkie to enjoy the movie, then I'll probably check it out (in IMAX, if possible).

In any event, I definitely plan to attend The Clothing Show on Saturday evening. I attended the last edition in the fall of 2008 and I was pretty impressed with one of the runway shows. Many designers are featured, although they tend to cater mostly to women. Not that I'm complaining... ;-)

A few years ago at the very first Clothing Show I attended, I scored a vintage Mr. Yuk shirt. I still wear it every summer; it's one of my favourites because I'm not likely to see anyone else wearing it.

Oh yes - can't forget to play lots and lots of N! I'm currently trying to get past episode nine.

That's all you need to know right now. Go on, play the game.
