Video Game + Puppy Sitting

every wednesday night (and other nights as well) that i'm playing video games, Ella always finds a way to sit on my lap while i play. the volume is up really really loud... i'm shouting profanity (or more like just saying POOPOO or "oh-noooooooooes".. or even my annoying MVP! chants)

so the last time i played i asked lena to take a picture of what has become almost like clockwork everytime i turn on the xbox

plus puntos if u can figure out what stage is currently being played on in the game

things to notice in this picture:

1. Yes DK, i am trying to learn how to use the Type95 again
2. I use a corded controller because i like the feel of it (thanks again johnny!)
3. Because of the corded controller i bought a rocker chair from target ($17) just to sit in front of the tv and kill my eyes (its okay... i'm almost 30... no need to pretend i have 20/20 vision anymore)
4. Phone on the floor next to me to send out mass text messages that i'm online
5. Coffee Mug for when my reaction time starts to slow down
6. and Ella sleeping on my lap, curled up in a little ball

I have found that I am a bit more effective when playing with ella on my lap. I've come to the conclusion that having her sleeping keeps me calm and controlled instead of wanting to flip a table or throw my controller when i get killed, hence my string of MVP's lately... =) oh ya, and me discovering the ACR sorta helped too

it's even gotten to the point that ella will wait by my chair when she's sleepy to see if i will sit there and begin playing MW3 so she can catch up on her sleep
