American Horror Story

Last season, the family watched the series American Horror Story. Well the whole family except for Little Kat watched it. There were some scenes of disturbia. But it was an exciting series as well. Momoko thought it was a bit predictable. I thought there were enough surprises to keep it interesting.

Last night we watched the premier episode for season two. There is a whole new story. Some of the cast seems to have stayed on. Jessica Lange is still an actress on the show. In fact, her role this time around seems more central. Little Kat was busy catching up on chores and homework to be watching any TV.

All during this first episode, I noticed that Momoko was playing Dragonvale on her iPhone. That in and of itself is not unusual. But she had an avid interest in playing the Dragonvale races a whole lot. Those were fun when they first came out. Now they just seem like a distraction.

After the show I found out what was going on. Momoko had downloaded the latest version of the Dragonvale app. They added a new goal. You must put together some sort of shrine to summon a really special dragon. You get pieces of this shrine by winning at the races. Figures.

I was pleased that that also increased the maximum level you can reach in the game. Momoko and I have been stuck on level 35, which used to be the maximum level. That meant all the experience we were earning was being wasted. Now we can start climbing the levels again.
