Unwanted Commentary

Ugh, I'm still sick. I have a head cold, I think. I'm all stuffy and my sinuses are behaving badly…I've had a little low-grade fever, but I haven't been coughing much, nor have I been nauseous. This is really weird, because I so rarely get sick and while it was fun for awhile to have an excuse to lay on the couch, watch movies and play video games all day, I'm starting to get tired of it. Typically I'm over any type of illness within a day, but I just can't seem to shake this stuff. I think I should have staid home yesterday, instead I ended up staying home today. Bleh

I think I blogged about playing Pac Man on my Xbox not too long ago, well I've taken it a step further. With Christmas money from the parents I went out and bought Midway Treasures Vol. 1 and I've been happily tripping down memory lane playing all the games that I wasted an untold of fortune on as a child. This experience has made me realize how terrible some these games really were, they're so damned hard and there is absolutely no way you could advance through some of them without pumping a bunch of quarters. This never dawned on me as a kid, but then I was usually spending my parent's money.

These old games, while fun to play, are a bit like poker in as much that they're not really as fun when you don't have money riding on it. The ability to just hit the start button again and pickup where you left off kind of diminishes the feeling of achievement, but then it's a lot cheaper too.

Wishing everyone a non-sick weekend
