Over the hump, eh?

Being over the mid-week hump can be a good thing, but I guess it depends which end of the camel you're facing...

Chad, thank you for reading my game reviews. But, I'm a little worried about you now... I played the heck out of Super Mario, and I don't know what the heck you're talking about. But, then again...I never had my own NES (we had the Sega Master System instead). So, we can talk about Quartet or Afterburner (ridiculously hard/long game) or Astro Warrior... But what I remember most was playing 'Top Gun' on a friend's NES in college. I remember thinking "this is just like flying a real plane." Um...no...not by any means, now that I think about it. But yes, I'd wake up "in game" in the middle of the night...and the theme music to Quartet or something so stuck in my head I thought I was going insane. Even now I can remember it. (doo doo da doo-doo-diddy-doo...)

Ah, geekdom...why is it that now that we're all grown up, it's okay to be a geek, but it wasn't back then? Wait...or is it? Well, it better be, since 90% of the people I know are also geeks...

Anyway...

Though yesterday morning was productive, last night turned out to be the opposite. Even after Stacey came home, we did...nothing. Absolutely zilch. Well, we played with Kailyn for a while, but that was it. Stacey was reeling from a very bad headache (which she STILL has this morning), so she went to bed around 10 p.m. (which is very early for her). I played Deus Ex 2 some more then went to bed early myself (around 11:30).

Stacey had to get up - headache and all - and head to Hunstville to work at Walgreen's today. I'm sure the much-lamented traffic I read about in Dave's blog didn't help. -sigh- All this - headaches, a UTI, and her prepping to leave for Houston for a week :-( has me a bit down, too.

Well, back to some happy stuff...

Band practice is tonight. I hope my new keyboard stand arrives in time for me to take it (and know how to use it). Unfortunately, it looks like my new case won't be here until tomorrow. Still, I look forward to rehearsal. We have a full-stage tonight, which is good to keep the sound "varied." And I think/hope I fixed my "disappearing monitor" issue.
