From a Missouri news story, originally read at GamePolitics:
“There is no reason an adult should have this game,” says Andy Anderson, Mid-Missouri Internet Crimes Task Force.
Anderson says adults playing “animal crossing” and similar games are likely doing it for the wrong reasons.
Really? I haven’t played AC yet, but I want to play it. I also, as y’all know, play Webkinz, a game targeted at kids. I’m one of at least thirty adults I know of who do. Oh, and by the way, I have no, zero, zip interest in doing anything “wrong” with kids. Andy Anderson needs a reality check.
(By the way, it’s also worth noting that in Animal Crossing for Wii, as in ALL Wii games, you have to have both parties exchange friend codes before you can play together online. You can see mine in the sidebar at right or on the About Me page. That is, just because you have my friend code means nothing. I don’t see that you have my friend code, and I don’t see that you added me unless I also have your friend code and have inputted it. That’s not some arcane privacy setting; that’s how Wii works. On top of that necessary 2-way exchange, AC has a separate code that must be exchanged and set correctly by both parties, and you have to both be online at the same time *and* accept a chat session to be able to freely speak. In short, there’s no way for a predator to target a kid playing Animal Crossing or any Wii game without some serious effort on the part of the kid, not to mention a huge lack of oversight by the parents, considering that parental controls can block every single step in the process if desired.)

All of my frogs are at health 70, happiness 90, hunger 44 or 50. 
This is a glitch that is going around on Webkinz. Responses from Ganz have ranged from stating vehemently that it’s a new feature to saying it’s a glitch and not to spend money fixing it until they’ve corrected it. You can read more on the status at WebkinzInsider’s article on the issue.
I’m just sad. I want to fix my frogs, but I don’t want to waste the KinzCash if it’s not needed.

I have a sore throat today. Possible causes:
* Woo-ing at the top of my lungs for Eddie Izzard on Thursday night with dear friend L
* Speaking loudly to dear friends A&E, who were visiting from New Orleans, to have my voice heard over the boat engine on our architectural river tour in downtown
* Belting out tunes on our brand new copy of Rock Band with our dear friend, K, until the wee hours last night/this morning (Hey, dreadpirateains, are you ready to rock???)
It’s been a good weekend. During Eddie Izzard’s show, he mentioned that a plague of frogs is not actually a plague; it’s just a lot of frogs. To commemorate this observation, I’ve named my newest frog Eddie. He’s a Lil’Kinz Frog that my DH got for me as a surprise. Neither Eddie nor Henri (tie-dye frog) have been officially adopted online yet. I’m spacing out my adoptions so that my account stays active longer.

So, in honor of the Webkinz anniversary, many stores are giving away a free Webkinz with a $10 purchase. However, the webkinz are limited to the assortment shown here. I already have the frog that is shown there, and it’s hard enough not confusing between my two tree frogs, so I’m putting a general call out if anyone wants one of the free ones, let me know, and I’ll make sure to get it.
My addiction is sad.

My passover plague is complete! Kawazu, my girl tree frog, and Hera, my frog, joined the plague today, making it complete.
Here’s the plague sitting around the welcome table:
They all had their favorite foods as part of the welcome party. Then, everyone headed over to the control room, where they are plotting for world domination:
Hera has some interesting ideas for Tunisia. But, after a hard day’s work, it’s time for a nap, so they all retired to their customized beds for the night:
