218.5 again
There is your tally ladies and gentlemen. Still less than the old 220 mark that I had such a hard time breaking through but now the battle to 210 really starts in earnest.
I subed in for Bridget last night on the mainstage at Second City. I'm going back in again tonight as well for 2 more shows. I regrettably had to miss the s.e.t. , which has really become a highlight of my week for me despite the rather considerable time commitment. My friend John Barrett was in town so he got to come see the 10:30 show and then we kicked it at the Crown and Anchor for an hour or so. It was really cool to catch up with Barrett. He seems to be doing quite well in Memphis. He told me he has five cats in his house and that his wife wished to adopt a sixth feline to occupy their domicile but he had to lay down the law. Yea, B, "You only get five cats!", that's drawing the line in the sand. Skilz joined up with us then we made one of our middle of the night Wall Mart runs. We have been doing that since forever. Almost every week, we find one night to go to Wall Mart. Usually it is Monday night because when you go on Monday night at like 2am, they are stocking the shelves in the electronics department with the new DVD releases that come out on Tuesday. We buy a movie and go watch it, or we buy a videogame and play it. Skilz bought Madagascar last night but I was too tired at 3:30 to entertain the Idea of watching a full feature film so we called it a night. They have an X-Box 360 display up and running in the videogames section. I just don't see it yet, the supposed leap in graphic output and processing power that a next generation system is supposed to bring with it. Yes, the pre-rendered FMV stuff looks gorgeous but the actual gameplay is still fairly comparable to what we have now. I know this will change as the developers get their heads around the machine but right now, the 360 looks like a bit of a rush job to me. Oh I'll get one, just not 'till like a year from now when they have worked out the kinks in the hardware and someone produces a killer app that I can't live without......HALO 3?
I talked to Anne the other night for a long while on the topic of politics and world events. Good conversation. I realy enjoy chatting her up from time to time. We concluded that things are still FUBAR and no simple solution is in sight. That said, things are good and the world keeps spinnin. I miss that beautiful girl.
