Absolutely Smashing
Alison is downstairs on the phone with her brother, Tom. He just had a gal with a Nissan Altima that she bought yesterday smash his old Mazda truck. It was parked on the street and she hit it so hard it moved the truck 30 feet. She didn't have insurance. Ouch.

Tom heard the noise and looked outside to see the Altima sitting in his yard with steam rising off it. The gal is obviously OK since Alison and Tom are almost joking about the whole thing. Or, well, they were, until they got on the topic they're on now, which is that Tom's truck is toast and there's no way he'll get any money out of the gal.

Too bad it wasn't Christine's 1987 Sunbird that she just bought for $200 a month ago and still hasn't had any road days.

Diversions
We were watching the DVD of Mystery Men when Tom called. It was 8:19 and both Alison and I launched from our respective loveseat and couch spots to get it, as Nina went to bed around 7:07. I'm just killing time writing this, and also I felt some sense of duty to write something since I hadn't since Wednesday.

I finished Ratchet & Clank III. Yeah, it's brilliant stuff. But I expected it to be. And it seemed short, or I totally rock, since I finished it in 23 hours. I did like that they took things they had in 2 out and gave us new situations. But I did miss my decoy glove. And I didn't mess with the online deathmatches. I'll have to run a CAT5 cable over to it and try that out, eventually. I think next in line will be either Mark of Kri, which I know is short, or Jak II. I have Armored Core II: Another Age, and Metal Arms, oh, and lots of stuff just plain piled up for me to play.

Today, I ordered Kill.Switch, Legend of Dragoon, and the DVD Home for the Holidays. Well, Alison is off the phone with Tom. I guess I'll finish Mystery Men now.

Blogness
You know...I'm not sure why I have a blog. But I've had a website or blog since, well, since the end of the BBS days. I never had a BBS though, but, ah, those were good times. Primitive ASCII...1200 baud modems. Dang, that's just scary.

Why doesn't blogger's spell check know the word blog? Isn't it in the dictionary now?
