Mysterious Happenings


"It was getting late, and I was sipping an Orange Fango with relish. Not the pickle mind you, but pure delight. I saw the camper pull in. Didn't look too shabby to me. A pull out and close to thirty feet long I thought, but I couldn't tell. The couple looked a bit harried to me... like they were worn out, but that was just an impression."

"Their vehicles were licensed Ohio, but this bothered me. They had no front license plates. That's a law in Ohio as we buckeye lovers know, but I guess they didn't care about the law. They took their dear sweet time setting up their camper, and I thought they might be staying a while. If only I had known then..."

"I caught a glimpse of the woman, and I thought I recognised her. She looked a bit different than the movie star I had seen in other settings. I couldn't quite figure out who she reminded me of... Now I know."

"It wasn't enough that they had taken one of the premium sites at the campground, that was just an obvious choice for two humans and their elderly dog. I sipped my Orange Fango with delight and pondered what the facts were. Two middle aged people, separate vehicles, no front license plates, an uncanny resemblance to the movie star Joan Cusack, and the last and most important clue. The time of their departure."

"The next day--after the sighting of the mysterious couple--it was around nine o'clock, when I heard the sounds of someone loading up. This wasn't an unusual occurrence, if not for the fact that the noise of chains clinking and an awning being refolded weren't coming from that premium campsite with the strange acting couple. I grabbed another Orange Fango (my brain powering source) and headed outside. I tried to get my assistant (also known as my mom) to help me identify the perp, but she thought I was crazy. I know I'm not crazy. So what if I've drank almost five Orange Fangos in a twelve hour period?"

"Anyway, the couple was pulling out. The question was... why? Was this a quick stop on the way to the next set, or were they just a couple out for an evening? The real question is... why did they leave so quickly, when they had taken so long to set up their camper? They even undid the awning! Had someone given away their position to the local paparazzi? Or was I completely wrong about their identities and just bored out of my mind? The world may never know..."

Mysteries Are the Best!!

Well,
I know I just got my new "Evil Under the Sun" game, but I beat it already... oops! lol
I hate it when a game is good, but not super difficult. The only thing about that game that was hard was figuring out where all the people were! I have to complain about that I'm sorry! There are twenty characters and you can't always find them... I mean come on! Where are they at? It's obvious they haven't left the hotel... IT'S AN ISLAND!!! The game had good points too though. For instance, it was mind bending... by the time I got to the final outcome of the game I had no clue who was at fault... yet when the facts were presented (by yours truly) it made complete sense! I'm not going to spoil the game for anyone who might read this and want to play the game... but the endings of the Agatha Christie games are always my favorites!!

On to bigger and better things! The Nancy Drew game is out! I want it soo bad... I haven't been to the store yet to see if they have it, but according to the Nancy Drew official website it should be out! YAHOO!! I read some reps about the game on the website and they were all POSITIVE! Just so you all know dear readers, I am not crazy and yes the game is for ten and up.... But hey how many girl games do you know of that aren't barbie? lol

In other news...
They've released photo images for the new Hardy Boys and the Tower Treasure game! It's supposed to be coming out this fall! My Christmas list is going to be PC riddled! The Nancy Drew game "Haunting of Malloy Castle" a new Agatha Christie Mystery game, and this Hardy Boys game will all be debuting this fall!! Ahh I love a good mystery. I don't just play them though I read them as well. The book Fatal Deduction was a good one if you like mysteries. Don't worry when I come back from vacation I'll probably have read enough mysteries to have my fill for at least a day or two...lol.

Well thought I would shout out about one of the greatest genres of all time! Hey this is the diary of a Detective Fiend!

Been A While

Well folks,
No I didn't get lost... just a little preoccupied with getting stuff situated around. I was able to go to some fireworks with my lovely family and that was a blast. Haha no pun intended. I finally finished a video game *bows* thank you thank you... and I have been working on getting stuff together for a yard sale. I am thrilled to death that next Friday I will be going camping!!! AHHHH! Sorry I had to shout I just couldn't keep it in.

Well...
My daddy is out looking at ATV's with my brother and I am checking email and blogging and doing all sorts of important stuff like that. Lol... I haven't checked on my accounts in a while and thus am behind... ah well. Oh, I am playing an awesome new PC game called "Evil Under the Sun" based on a book by Agatha Christie. I love it! I am Hercules Poiret... (hey it's french and I'm an atrocious speller) It's soo much fun. I'm excited about the new Nancy Drew game coming out this week! Not to mention the one coming out next week!! So much fun! Well... thought I would let you know I'm alive...lol
