A Rainy Day Review
Aug. 14th, 2011 02:59 pmHello, readers. At the time I'm writing this, it's 2:34 PM on a Sunday. I have to leave for work in half an hour, I can't stop coughing, it's raining, and the power refuses to stay on. What an auspicious beginning to the day. Anyway, ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
bethje and I had originally planned to go to Ocean City yesterday evening, but it was raining then too, and by the time it had abated it was already night. So instead we walked on the Boardwalk at Atlantic City. I wish I could think of things we could do as a couple that didn't involve wearing out my legs by walking, but I'm rather incompetent in that respect. What do the rest of you attached people do for fun together (aside from sex)?
I keep having dreams where I really want to play video games, and that kind of carries over into my waking life. I have several games that I've started, and some others I haven't even checked out yet. I guess I'm sort of waiting for my Certified Archivist test to be over, even though it isn't like I'm spending every free moment I have studying. I've done some studying, but it's really hard to tell what's important information from the sources I have. Also, I feel like I shouldn't get started on a game until I'm finished catching up on the Internet. No beer until you finish your tequila!
Speaking of Futurama, here's a review of the most recent episode:
Futurama: Fry Am the Egg Man - The part of this one with Fry hatching an egg was kind of amusing, but mostly struck me as not too original. Even the Futurama wiki mentions the similarity to the Simpsons episode "Bart the Mother," with Bart taking care of orphaned eggs only to find out that they were actually monsters, but he wanted to protect them anyway. I think that's part of why this episode had a "been done before" feeling. That said, I liked the beginning with the bizarre menu items at Fishy Joe's and the trip to the farmers' market, and I feel it picked up again once it reached the Scotland-like planet of Doohan 6. By the way, can anyone who's played Dungeons & Dragons tell me whether there's any significance to the Monster Manual identifying a Bone Vampire as a Type J, which Amy immediately understands but no one else seems to? A quick Google search revealed mentions of Type J treasures and poison in D&D, but not monsters.
I guess that's about it. I have a feeling, however, that as soon as I get to work, I'll think of something else I wish I'd included in the post. I guess I can always write another one.
