stormdogI got up early today and drove out to Beast Buy in Racine with my brother. He picked up Shadowbane, which looks like it could be some fun. Then he didn't install it because the trip to the UP which had been unexpectedly cancelled was unexpectedly reinstated and he left with his girflfriend. Heh. We also, while we were out, stopped at Gurnee Mills to investigate their DDR machine. The stop was well worth it. It's only 50 cents a play there and the crowds (at opening time, while we were there anyway) aren't bad at all.
Then, after chatting online for a while with my dear one (She's putting a bunch of neat stuff like vintage garment patterns and stuff on e-bay. Go check them out once they're up!), I went out to the two Salvation Army stores near here and the local flea market. I'd never been to the flea market before, and it was an experience. I thought Salvation Army had a lot of junk, but this was seriously impressive. Tables and shelves and racks of the most assorted debris and brick-a-brack. From the booth with oriental swords and knives to a table piled with used tools from modern to antiquated to the corner that had stuff like two old IBM PS2's and miscellaneous electronic junk. In short, it's my kind of place. I bought a decent pocketwatch for 10 bucks. I've needed a watch for a while and I've finally realized that a (working) vintage wind up is out of my price range at the moment, so I'll settle. I just hope it wasnt stolen. The place was a little seedy...
So I got home and played DDR until I wore myself out. I'm doing so much better at that than I did yesterday. I guess I just needed a warm up session. I'm passing songs with A's and B's that I couldn't even get through before. I'm pleasently tired. And now I'm going out to get some dinner over at the home of a friend of my dad's. There's a regular Saturday night game over there that includes dinner most of the time. They're playing In Nomine, an RPG in which the players are angels and/or demons. Sounds kind of interesting. But there are really too many people there for me to want to deal with most of the time. So I'll go, eat, rest my legs, and play more DDR when I get back. I can live with that.
Oh, and it seems that Lander and I may be getting together tomorrow to play some DDR (yes, I'm addicted) up here since my trip to my grandparent's house has been postponed. That will be nice. I could use some hang-out-with-friends time.
