threeplusfireWireless at Metro is grand. A dream come true, really, after all these years. It would be even better if they would put on better music, and the internet would entertain me more. I never want to hear that crappy cover of Sweet Child of Mine again thank you emo boy rock band. I brush off everyone's complaints about the chairs, but today they are extra uncomfortable. I'll attribute that to a poor few hours of sleep on the couch last night.
Melynda and I went out for breakfast at Kerbey Lane, and then off for a little retail therapy and errands. I justified my purchases at Foleys because I had the gift card and I needed clothes for yoga. Managed to find the exact sports bra Trisha recommended to me, the Champion model with the zipper front. It is remarkably comfortable. Less justifiable was the new Castlevania game, Lament of Innocence. But the price had dropped $20, I wanted it and I needed something this morning to cheer me up a little. If it bothers me too much, I'll return it.
Thought about joining the theatrical muse fun, but my muses are already in play. Bugger.
I've been thinking about my White Wolf character a lot lately, and I would like to work with her more. Sadly, I think our gaming group is falling apart and I don't have another space for her right now. Hopefully Jason will give me back the character sheet soon so I can refresh my memory on her stats. I think she's really a great character, and I'll probably settle down to write some brief fiction about her.
Watching people here is usually entertaining for one reason or another. It's pretty quiet early on a Saturday night. Two tables away I can see Al's high school girlfriend. I suppose she will graduate this year and we can stop ragging so hard on him for dating underage girls. Melynda is acros the table from me typing away, and Gene is down the room coding a project. Alan's at home playing Day of Defeat I imagine. What the rest of my world is doing, I don't know. Tell me.

This is the best bra I've ever owned. I was skeptical at first, but it really is fantastic.

My husband and I are also in economically distressing times (for me anyway).
I played that Lament of Innocence game for HOURS last week and really enjoyed it. I got really really obsessed with the idea of collecting every dropped item. I'm a booty-happy gamer. I rented the game from Blockbuster (and worried about spending that much money!) and had to take it back before I could get everything though.
Probably not that much of a coincidence, but I'm going to add you to my friends anyway.
Re: Similar situations
Date: 2004-02-08 08:19 am (UTC)We rented it for nearly a month with one of those Blockbuster game passes, and I loved it. I figured since we already spent $20 I should just break down and buy it.
I hate that evil room where you have to whip from one post to another before the door closes! Argh! That took me forever. But I just love the game. So fun.

Date: 2004-02-08 08:59 am (UTC)I don't know if you played the older games for Nintendo, but since this one is the prequel to all the others, my husband's joke is that the legacy of Leon Belmont is that all of his descendants will fall awkwardly from staircases for little or no reason and become frustrated to the point of quitting after the second level :)

We used a walkthrough the second time through and learned a TON of stuff we had missed.
