kirtsy hearts video games week!
“95% of this game is half mental.”
Yogi Berra
That quote pretty much sums it all up. We’re not sure how, but the math and the language arts are both fantastic. Plus, our love of gaming is old like Frogger and new like Rock Band. And we totally don’t understand it at all.
But we do know this, Tuesday, July 8th is Video Games Day. (Of course it is. You have all your decorations up right?) And we are celebrating all week long with the Kirtsy Hearts Video Games Week! FTW! We’re in ur base, killing ur d00dz. W00t! Etc.
“The score never interested me, only the game.”
Mae West
So we’re curious, what is your favorite video game? You know you have one, or two or fifteen. Here are ours.
Laura: Guitar Hero
Laurie: Galaga, FreeRice
Gabrielle (according to Ben Blair): High School Musical: Sing It! for the Wii.
It’s true that we each have our own complex and sordid relationships with gaming. Do we love it? Do we get it? Can we do it? Wait, what are we talking about here. Oh yeah, video games.
Lately, we’ve kinda been getting into them more than ever. Because companies are getting cooler and smarter, and so are the games. So we’re thinking. And Nintendo’s thinking. And this week, we’re joining together to give away FOUR Nintendo DS Lite systems! That’s right. Four winners! And each will receive $150 in prizes:
A PINK Nintendo DS! (Have you seen these things. They are the best! I keep mine in my purse for queues, train rides and other freak moments of boredom.)
And a Brain Age 2 game! (This will either make you feel really smart, or really challenged, or really sleepy. Either way, you’re a winner.)
Honestly, we could go on and on about how much we love these Nintendo DS jobbies. They’re pretty much the greatest. And we’re really digging Nintendo right about now. So join us!
Celebrate your love of gaming this week. And leave a comment here telling us your favorite game (Scrabble and Go Fish and Burger Time all totally count) to be registered to win these incredible prizes from super cool Nintendo. You have from now until Saturday, July 12th at 11:59pm EDT.
And seriously, we hope you win. We can’t think of a better way to celebrate Kirtsy Hearts Video Games Week!
Love the playah, love the game.
We’ve Got Some Winners!
Well. Well. Well. It’s one fabulous giveaway after another here at kirtsy. So how about we announce some fabulous winners to receive all that fabulosity.
First of all, there was the Happy Birthday Kirtsy and 19th Amendment Contest. It was all about celebrating women who let their voices and votes be heard. And it came with over $625 worth of prizes. Let’s give a big hip, hip, hooray for the lucky winner: juliemead!!
And then, most recently, there was the Happy Kirtsy International Sleep-in Week Contest. With some super luxe sheets up for grabs. And guess who gets to grab them? Congratulations to: Frantically Simple!!
Fun stuff. And stayed tuned. Because it’s kirtsy. And there’s always more fun stuff to come.
Happy Kirtsy International Sleep-In Week!
Hey I Know! You Should Celebrate This Super Important Week by Totally Sleeping In.
Just so you know, it’s officially National Carpenter Ant Awareness Week (So be AWARE!), which only proves there is a week for everything. Seriously.
It also proves anything can be celebrated.
So we say, hey, carpenter ants get plenty enough attention (boy do they ever), so we’re turning ours to something that we don’t focus on near enough.
Sleep.
Now, to heck with the fact that we just celebrated the longest day of the year (Happy Summer Solstice everyone!), we really think everyone reading this should sleep more. Summer’s here. It’s hot. Kids are running around everywhere. The mall is a nightmare. You should be on vacation. So you might as well sleep. In fact, sleep in. Because it’s International Sleep-In Week at Kirtsy!
And we’re celebrating by partnering up with Select Comfort and giving away super fancy sleep accoutrements. We’re talking $260 sheets, people. If you can’t sleep in with that, we cannot help you here. Move along.
But we think you can, FTW! So to enter, you must sleep in.
No seriously.
Try it. And/or leave a comment here or at the post on kirtsy. And you’re registered to win:
A Select Comfort SmartFit Lyocell queen sheet set.
These sheets breathe. They wick away moisture. (I both love and seriously hate the word wick. I definitely hate the word moisture.) They wrap you in super soft comfortable goodness so you can sleep like a teenager. Or a celebrity. Same thing.
Plus, on a related note, from now until August 1, Select Comfort is getting all up in your sleep business to issue you a challenge. (Oh, don’t challenge me! You’re asking for it!)
To sleep. (I’m in!)
Just visit the Sleep In Challenge site to get all the deets on their challenge/contest. You could win a fancy Sleep Number bed worth $1,200! Yowza!
So sleep in for goodness sakes. Because not sleeping, well, it leads to tiredness. And eye baggage. And obesity, Type 2 diabetes and high blood pressure. Seriously.
And then leave a comment to win sheets to sleep even better. We really hope you win. And we hope you sleep in.
Happy Kirtsy International Sleep-in (and National Carpenter Ant Awareness) Week!
