I'm looking forward to playing the latest Zelda game which was released in the US yesterday. This time around, it's exclusive to Nintendo's portable DS system. Stylistically, I'm super happy to see the Zelda team return to the cel-shaded style introduced in Gamecube's "Wind Waker" Zelda game.The protagonist, Link, always had this weird androgynous thing going for him that works best in this super cartoony style. I just hope that the time-wasting ship treasure hunting (in Wind Waker) is kept to a minimum and the dungeons are given their well deserved focus.

The Conference was over. It was time for the Muttpop crew's return to the good ol' US of A. All of the Conference Lecturers were given a King's feast of at La Puerta Nueva. But since we crossed the border by foot, we had to bail prior to the succulent feast to ensure our prompt return.While others feasted on lobster tails and frejoles, Jerry and I waited in a long line with people hoping to cross the border. An hour later, we said "Hello" to the US Border Patrol and were walking back to my car with a box full of goodies.Bye Tijuana. We're sure to meet again!
