IHRA Drag Racing 2005 a good game Not much going on...might have a client today if I can get home in time. Don't want to wake Dan up though, so if business sucks this week I'm not worried. Besides, I'd rather not work today because we have assloads to do such as Murray's, Meijer's, the library, and possibly the Salvation Army. I'll probably save some of that for later in the week, but we've got to do some research on my car and head to Murray's for brake fluid and stuff. I offered to see my client tomorrow, which is when I'll be home all day, but he wants today asap. So, I wait until Dan wakes. In the next hour or so, I've got to the hard task of calling Southwest Media and determining what's going on with my "contract". I don't want to be annoying about it, but I do need to know if someone will ever call me about the offer and what (if anything) is going on with my moving to whereever I have to move to. I'm getting a little sick of holding my breath on this, but I know if it works out, it should be worth it. I just don't like hanging around for nothing. So, I've got to be polite and firm to see what's going on. Hopefully, it will all work out soon, but if it doesn't I'm debating getting a real job again. Problem is, I don't LIKE real jobs and that makes it difficult to get excited about one. Maybe I'll just keep plugging away with what I have and see where that goes. Don't real actors take at least five years to get somewhere? I should be patient. Yesterday was spent roaming around town determining if Dan could afford a newer TV. We never ended up purchasing one, but we did learn a lot about our local stores. Best Buy is still the shit. K mart has decently priced elliptical machines and Walmart doesn't like to reduce their electronics at all. We did buy IHRA's drag racing game though, and I have to say it's pretty cool and fairly realistic. Dan and I raced each other for a long while last night before he began playing a career circut. I had major trouble with the top fuel class, but once I figured out the burnout proceedure, which if you fuck it up you lose your burnout, it was doable. I've got several high scores on it, as does Dan, but I tended to have the better reaction time when I was sober/focused. He wants to get a wheel for it as the controls are a little funky, and I think he might stand a chance if I have to figure out things like the clutch pedal. We'll see. I did spot one of those new camera things for PS2 at Wal-mart yesterday, and I'm half tempted to buy one. I have some good reasoning on this though. Since Troma bought a DDR mat, I've been debating about buying the dance game for this camera thing. Now, I generally suck at DDR type games, but that's due to lack of practice. Of course, I never had an opportunity to practice those skills because I refuse to play DDR in public. Being a larger less coordinated person, I choose to not humiliate myself by trying to fuck with those big DDR machines. But if I had a mat/camera to practice with at home I could get some exercise AND learn to kick ass at the game. Also, because it's a video game, I would stand a good chance of getting addicted and thereby would be more motivated to keep dancing around like an idoit. As I would be doing this at home, there's no huge embarassment factor either, so it seems to be a win win idea. We'll see if the game sucks. Other than that, not much going on. Going to wait until Dan wakes up then see what the day will bring. Daphne |
