Two days in a row?!? OMGZ
Jul. 16th, 2006 11:17 amWow, two days in a row of updates!
Well, that's because I actually got off my lazy ass and DID something yesterday!
My good friend Sheri called to say she was coming down to my town to buy some shoe inserts at a store located here. So, I got showered, etc and went to meet her as I needed to pick up some new sheets. My hubby was a sweetie and gave me a video game to trade at EB games so I could get some dollars off of Heroes of Might and Magic V
which I have been lusting for since it was released in May.
So, I met up with Sheri, we went to the store and got her inserts then went to JC Penney (having a % off sale) and I picked up some new sheets (and WTF with queen-sized sheets costing 70.00 before the discount? Day-um.) and some OMG soft towels (Egyptian cotton--also on sale) to replace our rapidly wearing out ones. Peacock blue for hubby and royal purple for me. And I don't care if they match each other or the bathroom, so there.
Then I went to EB Games and bought my game. :)
Then Sheri and I went to Applebee's for a late lunch and took up the table for two hours just gabbing. She is a stockholder in the Green Bay Packers (one share, hee) and this year the team is giving the stockholders a tour of "the frozen tundra of Lambeau field" along with the locker room and assorted other things there. She is such a cheesehead and she cannot wait. I asked her to take lots of pictures and if she is amenable, I'll post some here one day.
We also discussed Harry Potter (I got her hooked, hee) the various theories that are flying around and who we think will die, who will be redeemed and why I have become disillusioned about the series ever since book six.
(No, not because of the death at the end, because of the whole "no one believes Harry" which to me, required waaay too much suspension of my disbelief after he was proved right again and again in books one through five...WTF?? Not to mention the fact that Hermione went from brilliant, confident student extraordinaire to whiny, self-righteous bitch which to me was too far out of character...oh shit, I don't want to even think about that book anymore...)
So, a wonderful time was had. Sometimes getting out of the apartment is a good thing!
After I got home, hubby was napping on the sofa. I decided to try to finish the other game I have been playing (an old, but to my mind still very engaging game) called Lord of the Realm. I was nearly finished when I noticed the time and it was after 7 and hubby was still sleeping! So I woke him up and got us some supper...after which he expressed his surprise that I hadn't yet loaded the new game. So I did and we spent the next five hours playing HMMV together! That was so nice...except I had forgotten that it was a bit buggy, and neglected to download the available patch and it froze after playing for that long. We downloaded the patch this morning and it seems to be playing okay now, but still slow. I'm not sure if it's because of our computer or not...which we have a decent one with plenty of space, so we'll see. Hubby started his own scenario this morning and he says it started out slow but got better as he went along.
Oh, and since hubby seems to actually LIKE this game, I'm a bit worried...we've never had to try to share a game before that we both like...
So, I'm going to play after I post this and he's going to play while I watch NASCAR this afternoon. Let's hope we can keep things civil! ;)
Yes, I still intend to read book seven. I have to see how it all ends.
