No work and all play makes me WOOOOOOOOOO

Sunday, April 13, 2003 » general update

Today we finally had some rain. Not just the wimpy drizzle stuff yesterday, but actual, real rain. Of course, that makes me not want to do any homework, so I devoted a good portion of the early afternoon to Zelda: The Wind Waker. I do have several papers to write over the next two weeks, but those can wait. Hahahahaha.

Yesterday was great because Laura and Laurie, referred to hereafter as the Laurs, came over in the evening. Laura was finally able to show off her new Powerbook, WHICH I STOLE. It is small and nice and runs MAME very well. I am glad to own such a fine computer. After some simultaneous Puzzle Fighter on the powerbook and Morgan's GBA SP, some chaotic Super Smash Bros. Melee took place, partly aided by caffeine and Tollhouse bars.

Unfortunately we only had three controllers and couldn't get everyone to play at once, so Morgan and I went out looking for another Wavebird. KB is notorious for closing early on Sundays, so we tried the local K-Mart. Ha ha, we're so naïve. It turns out K-Mart did have Wavebirds, but the were only selling them bundled with a game. Oh well, I thought. Maybe we can get Mario Party 4 at a reasonable price. But no. A closer look at the bundle revealed K-Mart logos and promotional icons printed all over the box. Great promotion, K-Mart. Package products people want with expensive K-Mart ads! We both decided we could do without a fourth controller for a while longer.
