Walked to bookstore, got some new stuff. Went from there to Target (the Haunted Serial Killer Woods have been cut down, so there's a shortcut now), got ten tons of groceries, took it home in a cab.

The taxi driver, Ms DeNiro, was reading an ancient, coverless Zenna Henderson (not while driving). We both agree that nothing is funnier than a McDonald's on a Thursday morning, when 800 old people meet for coffee.

Speaking of driving while reading, when you're on a bus you can look down directly into people's cars. Saw a woman driving with an open novel in her lap the other day. Sadly, the jacket was the wrong color for Twilight, which would have made it stupidly perfect.

Also, little kids in the backs of cars will look up at you and wave. :D

Plants vs. Zombies continues to be awesome. One of the mini-games is Slot Machine. I've found you can use it for the equivalent of leveling, and am raising $20,000 for an extra plant slot. There are levels where half the yard is covered in fog, and it's genuinely scary -- at least as much as a game with Michael Jackson and back-up dancer zombies can be.

Sort of like how shopping malls in the AM (right after the Department stores start to open, but before the other stores do) are haunted by dozens of the elderly, shuffling along in their sneakers.

I never thought about it before, but maybe they go to McDonald's when they've finished their mallwalking.

Well, it is convenient. And they serve iced coffee there now.

Plants vs. Zombies totally stressed me out. I will never play it again.

There's a high tension level, yup. I can only play a couple levels and then I have to stop. I worry about stuff like having to write a letter to Sgt Frozenpeashooter's mother, telling her that he died bravely because of my incompetent command skills.

Then I remember he came from a seed packet.

Have you made it to the roof zombies yet? That really gets insane. I like the slot mini game best of the minis so far.

Nah, I've just gotten to the fog and the jack-in-the-box zombies. If I play to long I start to get twitchy.

[tikistitch.livejournal.com]

I'm always twitchy. ;-)

I'm truly hoping this is one I'll be able to get through, like Peggle, and not have to ask my husband, "Honeeee, will you finish this game for meeeeee?"
'Cause, that would be lame.
