May. 9th, 2009 07:56 pmWalked 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.

Plants vs. Zombies drops today. I played the demo last night, and it's delightful. Review here:

There may be something wrong with me.

your quote of the day.
Jul. 24th, 2008 09:32 am"If you're going to condescend to women gamers, Paramount, at least do it all the way. Why not Steel Magnolias: Shelby's Return, in which players battle a zombie Shelby by throwing tears at her lumbering corpse (Tears are earned by gossiping at the beauty shop). Or Not Without My Daughter: Escape From Alfred Molina, in which players must absorb a certain amount of Alfred Molina's yelling, before gaining the speed required to run out of Iran."
-- Amelie Gillette on AVClub.com, re: Paramount's upcoming attempt at attracting the wimmins with games based on Pretty in Pink, Clueless, and Mean Girls.
Now I'm imagining a Bridget Jones game where you have to keep Bridget in smokes and sufficiently liquored up so she has the courage to...uh...I forget what the hell she actually did. Okay, if you don't keep her in substances, she can't write in her diary. The diary has a timelock, and when neglected, it explodes and London becomes a smoking crater. It's like 24, but with less torture, and more projectile vomiting.

Jun. 17th, 2008 02:28 pmWent home at lunchtime and rescued Shaun and Ed from the porch.
Opened the box. Got the two separate shipping cartons inside the box open. Opened the shipping cartons and removed Shaun and Ed's individual boxes. Took bubble wrap off individual boxes. Opened individual boxes. Cut scotch tape holding plastic trays which held the figures inside the individual boxes. Got plastic trays open. Started undoing a couple of Ed's twist ties. Then lunch was over and I had to go back to work.

dude, wtf?!?
Jun. 13th, 2007 08:34 amOkay, now, don't worry. I'm okay. But -- I get out of the car this morning and some fucker comes up and fucking bites me. Right there in the parking garage. What. The. Hell. Security guy, surprisingly on the ball, came and tackled him. Then a couple of girls from Accounting. And a priest from the Catholic school up the block. And a Building Services guy. And a couple of college students. He was either crazy or they were really on his ass, because he started screaming and screaming. They forgot about me. Typical.
Anyway, it's raining, so I took the tunnel to Nurse Scooter's office in the basement. She called the cops and cleaned the thing and I'm supposed to go see Dr I'm in the Eleventh Grade Now in a couple hours for some shots and follow-up. At least since the whole thing was on-site, Workers Comp'll cover it.
Doesn't hurt much, but it was scary because of the surprise...ing...ness. It's gonna leave a bruise.
Teach me to fucking come in early. Shoulda used my brain.
This coffee is terrible. And why am I so hungry?
Denny says I can go home if I want, but I'm not sure I have the brains to drive right now.
Seriously, I'm starving. I'm'o go downstairs and see if they have muffins or something. Brain muffins. Bran.
