Zelda - One Piece
I love weekends. It is the one part of the week that I can finally unwind and be completely lazy. I tend to get myself pretty wound up during the week and the weekends prove to be a good time to chill out. Usually a weekend for me includes some of the following events:
Sleeping in both days (unless we have something else to do)
Eating a 'Dave Liloia Weekend Breakfast' which includes scrambled eggs, cheese and bacon
Watching DVD's or going out to the movies at least once
Grilling (mmmm)
Going for a walk/park
Reading books/magazines
Playing video games
Today along with the other things I wanted to do, I wanted to play 'Legend of Zelda'. Yes, you heard that right, this is the original Zelda that came out in the 1987 for the original NES (Nintendo Entertainment System). They just released it a few weeks ago for the GBA SP (Game Boy Advanced SP) and Trevor and I were eagerly waiting for the day it came out.
I have been playing a little bit each day, thouroughly enjoying the game itself and the nostalgia of my youth. Today my goal was to play enough to earn another piece of the Tri-force bringing my total to 6 pieces, two away from completion.
Trevor walked into the bedroom this afternoon to tell me that he had (for the third time) accidentally deleted my game. Ugh. This time he was trying to use the GBA with Animal Crossing (another wicked cool game) to play one of the mini games and left Zelda in the GBA when he plugged it in.
Apparently you can't do that.

I bought a refurbished NES a few months back on eBay. I want Zelda pretty badly, but I'm afraid after I put in about eights hours of play, the 15 year old batter will crap out. Might have to buy the GBA SP.
