What I did this weekend
Feb. 15th, 2004 05:30 pmI haven't been on the computer all that much recently, so I haven't been writing here. Now, however, I'm at work without much else to do, so I might as well write something.
Last Thursday, Beth and I spent the night in Atlantic City. She'd done that before, but I hadn't. I put $10 into the nickel slots, and ended up winning another $10. Not much money, to be sure, but more than I've ever won before.
Saturday was Valentine's Day, so Beth and I exchanged gifts. I gave her a plush Chococat (a Sanrio character), the third season Mr. Show DVD, and a heart-shaped box of Hershey's Kisses. She gave me the newest Sims expansion pack, a DVD of L. Frank Baum's silent movie His Majesty, the Scarecrow of Oz, and a box of chocolates. At night, we went out to eat with Mark and his girlfriend Katie. We were going to go to Bennigan's, but they kept adding on to how long our wait was supposed to be, so we gave up at went to Friendly's instead.
Also on Saturday, Beth let me set up a town on her Animal Crossing game, so I played that for a while. The game is fun overall, but I'm not particularly good at fishing, which is probably the best way to make money. I think I'm getting better at it, though. I'm not sure what I think of the game's real-time aspect. It's an interesting concept, but it means you have to be able to play at pretty much any time of day, or you'll miss out on stuff. If you can only play at night, for instance, then you're usually not able to go shopping.
And for my obligatory American Idol rant, what did people see in that Diane girl who always wears pink and black? For that matter, was that "I got the music in me" thing she sang even a real song? I didn't think much of that guy who made third place, either. In fact, those two were my least favorites out of everyone that week, but apparently a lot of people (or at least a few people who don't mind calling over and over again) disagree.
