Senior discounts?

Tonight after dinner the Settlers_fan and I stopped at Kroggers and got a couple things.  Her "Kroger Card" is looking pretty ragged.

S_Fan: My card is pretty cruddy, is there a way I can get a new one?

Cashier: Are you getting the 10% discount yet?

S_Fan: Um, for what?

Cashier: You know, for being 60 and older.

S_Fan: (blank stare)

S_Fan: Um.... no (fills out form)

 

I tried to reassure her that she does not look 60 but it only made the situation worse.  Who can figure you chicks out?!?!?!

Oh! Also we are almost done which is good because I'm fired on friday.

Christmas eve wishes

What is best on the internet is this:

Playing Left 4 Dead with random people while listening to Third Day and drinking 12 year old scotch.

Also, I got my wife a really good gift this year and so far I think she is totally going to be surprised by it which is rare because she is teh sneaky and usually always figures out what is up.  I dodged that this year by getting a good decoy gift which she "figured out" thus covering up the actual surprise.

Oh - here is a movie of the first item which contains some foul lang.

The great thing is the way the game mechanics reinforce a central theme (which makes me feel good about humanity), which is this: You are not going to survive without the others.   So hogging the health kits or running ahead and not helping other folks get you this: .... Killed.    Its great to listen to someone ranting about the "right way to do it" and how "your aim is teh suck0rz"... 30 seconds later yelling "Get it off me get it off me!!!!"  You rescue them and then they turn into the most team-oriented player you've ever seen.  Its greatness.

Good previews so far...

...but then again, almost every preview ever done about any game is at least 'not negative'.

Still, I'll take what we can get.

This changed this all up

I wanted to post something, but I've not done it in a long time and I had to click a million buttons to find out how to post again, and I had two messages waiting from girls I've never heard of before but Xanga says they VIOLATE TEH TERMS OF TEH XANGA and no more websites for them, so I had to delete them, and I want to change my header because I don't use the Zune player on my PC anymore because it had this crazy bug where it was writting out zero length files to the temp directory - like 1000s of them a day, but I did get to accept a friend invite which had been there forever so that was good but now I don't remember what I was gonna post.  :|

Romantic thoughts

The Settlers_fan and I were watching this new, stupid show tonight:

http://abc.go.com/specials/herecomethenewlyweds/index

Its like survivor + the newly wed game.  Its not very good. But during it the couples had to put their hand on the others heart, look in their eyes, and finish the words "I want..."

So they said stuff like "...to spend the rest of my life with you."

"...to grow old with you"

"...to love you forever"

So i look at my precious wife, and look in her eyes, and have her do the excersize.  She looks at me and says,

"I want..."

 

"...to kill you"   And then starts giggling over and over.

I guess thats why they don't have any shows about people who've been married for a long time.  :|
