my maserati does 185

welp.
its been a week. since i have O-FISH-ALLY been a Texan again. and i will admit, its weird. its weird going to the grocery store and finding the things i had to smuggle back with me to SC, just sitting on the shelves. just as plain as day, waiting for me to buy them. and knowing i don't have to use them sparingly, because they are so precious. (you know i am talking about Hell On The Red salsa, right, Ang?)

but since i DO make my own salsa, with an awesome recipe from Ang, might i add. i bought something completely different. we aren't quite up to the grocery caliber of having salsa makings. right now its all canned food and gatorade.... but i digress.

it's nice to live in Texas again. but i do miss my friends. and my family. i even had a little "i really miss my mommie moment" the other night. (and by that i mean, the BAD CRY!) but i am adjusting.

we haven't been to the Big Texan yet. i am waiting for the Baby Jesus before we go. *side note* my Husband doesn't understand that you have to say it like this: baybeejeezuus. all one word. sheesh.

and THAT brings me to my point. (i really don't think i have one today. )

yesterday, H and i decided that we wanted to sit around and play video games all night. yes, i am a gamer. fuckin duh! so we looked up some reviews on a game that his friends told him about. and we decided to go get it. we went to go eat "lunch". since we are on his schedule, it was 5:30 in the evening. we left there and went to various game stores and then to walmart. the nice one. we came home and had to set up the online account... and then set up our gaming account. and then had dance the polka and do a handspring. TADA!

but BEFORE we load the game, H wants to install the new Norton software first. uhh..ok. so i sat and read my new book from KareBear and was content to listen to him when he told me about the features the software had. it was nice. then, i wanted chips and nacho cheese. you know, the NASTY kind like you get at ball games and movies. so i left and went to the store. i bought the fixings for said snack and came home to find H in the same spot doing the same thing as he was. (good to know he stays on task.) i made the snack and he FINALLY decides to put the game in.


and nothing.
no spinning.
no loading.
no recognizing that there is even a CD in the "cupholder" (another story for another time.)

hmmm.. so he takes it out and tries a different CD we have. it works just fine. he tries several others and we finally decide the disk is defective. we grab our shoes and coats and head BACK to walmart. we split up as soon as we hit the door. i head to get another game, he heads to customer service. see, we are a TEAM.
we take our NEW game and go home.

BUT, i forgot to tell you THIS! our game came with a miniature superhero. and he was broken. and i told H that should have been our first clue. so, we pry open the box to find the SAME hero. CURSES! this one better work. and he was just as non-exciting as the last one.

se we are back home with our new game. and we put it in and
nothing.
no spinning.
no loading.
A-gain.

ok, coats, shoes and we decide to head to ANOTHER walmart.
they don't have the same kind we got. so we leave there and head to the OTHER walmart. (yeah, i have 3. neener) and THEY don't have the game. it is now 10:30. we have driven all over amarillo looking for this game.

we go back to the original walmart and trade out our game for the FINAL game they have.
we get home and yep. you guessed it:
nothing.
no spinning.
no loading.

H then emails customer service. they respond within 5 minutes. they have him configuring the jiggawatts. and the computer is doing bird calls and then it turns into a pong game and then dancing bears and the russian women doing calisthenics....

and nothing.

at this point, i have had enough. i am going to bed. i am D-U-N. done.
i am laying in bed, watching a movie... falling asleep when he comes in announcing that he is a RETARD.
he says, "what did the box for the game say?"
"it said special DVD version"
yep. DVD version. we don't have a DVD drive.

FUCKING DUH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

we are, as Judd likes to say, GOTARDS.

criminy.
so, he leaves to go get the RIGHT game. and i continue to slumber.

he wakes me up at 7:30 this morning telling me that we cant return it after 11, because the munchkins will come to our house and eat our eyeballs...or some shit. so we have to go back TODAY and get the right game.

now, that i have built up all that suspense, i bet you want to know what game it is.
its called City of Heroes.

its an RPG (role-playing game) BUT WITH SUPERHEROES!!!!! does that have MY name written ALL over it or WHAT?

i really CAN be WonderGirl, now. i mean, i already am... but now i can FLYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!

so here i sit in my Wonder Woman jammies. waiting for H to get up so we can go BACK to walmart and get our game. YAY US!

wanna go ride bikes?

moo, y'all.
