Old Video Games are Hypnotic
TJ downloaded some old video game system emulators for his computer and right now he’s playing X-Men 2 for the Genesis. I apologize for any lack of quality in this post because I can’t stop looking over to see him blow stuff up. I bet it’s not very fun for TJ because I keep shouting commands at him. “GET THAT HEALTH, TJ!!!” “You need to shoot him in the EYE!!!” “Why don’t you jump over those fireballs, you crazy man?” I bet he wants to kill me while I sleep.
Things seem really busy lately. It feels like I’m hurrying through one thing just so I can get to the next thing and hurry through that. I had to frantically try to clean the house yesterday between going to school and whatnot; as many people know we had our first onecommunity meeting (went really well, lots of fun). I spent all of today checking my watch while in school, looking forward to getting out so that I could do homework and go to Savers to buy my Halloween costume. It’s just one thing after another after another. I guess I’m just trying to hurry up and get to the weekend…tomorrow Greg, TJ, and I are leaving on our third annual trip of reflection to Sedona. We’re actually going to camp out overnight and then hike all day Saturday. So exciting, so relaxing, so much fun. Hopefully that will put an end to all this craziness.
As I mentioned earlier, I went today to buy my Halloween costume (to be worn down to Mill Ave. on the fateful day). As a group, we’re going with a superhero theme (anyone who’s interested in joining us is welcome…just let me know so we can work things out). I’m going as the Incredible Hulk:

I got the pants, I got the wig, now all I have to do is whip up some crazy homemade makeup I found on the internet. Hopefully it won’t stain my skin…I have class the next day and the thought of going in with all my skin tinted bright green is very unappealing.
Well, I’m off until Sunday, probably. When I come back, I will have the serenity of Caine, from Kung Fu.
