What a week.

This week has been groovy indeed.

Lots of neat stuff. Been playing some sea dogs action. Picked it up on Amazon for 9 bucks couldn't pass that up.
Tami finally found "THE MAGIC SHOES". That's a fun story.
Tami has been telling me about these specific shoes she wants for nearly a year. They have a very specific look and cross styling that we never see.
It is a heeled mary jane style but toeless as well. We looked and asked all over. She looks for them online alot but to no avail.
Until Tuesday. Then on Tuesday of this week while rummaging that ultimate garage sale wasteland known as E-bay, Tam found THE SHOES.
I was blown away. There they were precisely as she had described to me, these perfect unfindable shoes. It was like discovering a nest of Bigfoots, living with Elvis and the little grey aliens inside the Loch Ness monster at the gates of Atlantis.
So she got them and as we speak is awaiting their arrival.
Also been playing Katamari Damaci, and Battlefield 2. I don't know why I keep buying EA games. They always piss me off. I always feel cheated after buying an EA game. EVERY FREAKIN TIME.
Battlefield 2 is good. It is solid, it is exactly what you would expect it to be. And there in lies the problem. It is just another over the top boom boom fest. Objectives, blah, surroundings, blah, mechanics, blah. It's tight to be sure. Cinched up and ready to go. It is just overwhelmingly uninspiring as well. Just precisely what you expected it to be. so $50.00 wasted and another dent added to the Vice President of Vice presidential nonsense management assisatance producers mercedes bill. Your welcome Mr. Ineffectual middle management fop. Glad I could do my part to ensure you get tons of expensive crap you don't really deserve. Woohoo.
Katamari Damaci on the other hand. Very inspiring. Very interesting. Very Moby. It's odd as hell. Just a strange little funk brew of a game that actually turns out to be incredibly engaging, and addictive and brilliantly very short. I LOVE THAT!
If I get really juiced about a game I want it to end soon. Otherwise I get stuck in the rut of playing just to guage how much more I have to do to finish the game, and that leads to me getting annoyed, putting the game away and never finishing it. And that sucks.
But it happens all the time. I finished Katamari Damaci after only playing it for about 15 hours total gaming time. With my schedule and the kids, that means I played it in 2 hour increments over 7'ish days. To me that's as good as it gets.
I love finishing a game and not feeling like I had to make a career out of it.

Luigis Mansion, Katamari Damaci, Sly Cooper, and Freedom Force are the last three games I actually finished in the last 5 years.

Tami and I are planning on going out to dinner and a movie this weekend sometime. Probably some seafood action at red lobsters with that whole endless shrimp thing. NO KIDS woohoo!
Oh well, have a good weekend.
I will.
