Packing here and there

And now for a post about yesterday. Me and Victor played Intellivison for a while. I beat him at Centipede to no one's surprise, and he beat me at the pacman style game to no one's surprise. I'm just really bad at Pacman games. Like on Mrs. Pacman he has something like 43,000 as a highscore and I have, probably only 8,000. On regular Pacman he's got 4,000 and I have 2,000 so it's a little closer. Anyway, I crocheted while we did this. Then while playing Atlantis he kept telling me to try and that I was shooting randomly. Which I wasn't, I really was trying. He kept saying I didn't understand the game. How can I not understand it? Then when we tried co-op Tron Deadly Discs I kept complaining that the buttons I was hitting weren't doing anything. Then he realized it was my controller acting up and he spent the next while fixing it. I put my hair up while he did this and started some laundry. I finally used that sample of laundry soap I've had laying around. I don't even remember what it came with, but it was for some green laundry soap of some kind or another, it smells alright. I used it on towels and sheets and it seems to have worked well. I dunno, it's just towels and sheets.

I made us pizza eventually and it was really nummy. This was the second or third time Victor's compared the smell of my pizza to that of Chucky Cheese's. I tried something different with the meat, this time when I browned it I put garlic in the pan to cook in with the meat. Victor liked that.

I got more cleaning done and took out the garbage. I packed up the PS2 and it's games as well as my Sims2 expansions. And I packed up the doll my Grandma sent me, she'd crocheted a dress for her. My Grandma was always crocheting. It was actually partially because of her that I decided to try and take it up. I wouldn't say it's a big hobby or anything, more that it's something I get a bug to do every so often. There's still room in the box but I'm not sure what for. I put my PS1 games in there as well, I don't have many though. SimCity 2000, Star Wars Demolitions and something else I think. I'm not sure where my Sim Themepark went but I can't find it.

I also packed another box with my non-fiction books. It's not hard to tell where my interests lie. My non-fiction collection consists of such titles as "Secrets of the Ancient World", "Mysteries of Archeology", "Ancient Egypt", "Natural Wonders of the World", "Medieval Times" and other assorted archeology and geology books. Anyway, I also found room to pack most of my historical diaries collection. There was enough room left to pack away Victor's fox plushie and there's still a tiny bit of room but I'm not sure what I'll put there. It's not a lot of room, so I don't know.

I think next I'll pack away Victor's collection of Michael Jackson magazines. It was, sadly, rather convenient timing that Victor's birthday was within about two weeks of his death that they released a slew of magazines about him that I got as a birthday present for him. So we put them in magazine protectors and they're on the shelf. But I think it's ok to pack them away, maybe I'll put my Star Wars Insiders in the same box to keep like together. But I'll do that later.

For my next book I decided on Two Towers. I don't know why I hate myself so much. LOTR is so boring. Oh. That's what I meant to do this morning, I was going to watch FOTR as a recap. Eh. At least the beginning of TT hasn't been too bad. I would tell you how many pages in I am except it goes on as though it's part of a whole and I'm at 413 or something pages even though I've just started reading it. Which I guess I understand but it's still kinda odd. Aragorn was being angsty. XD Spent nearly a page with him angsting on and on. hehe, I still remember my first exposure to LOTR, I'd been hearing about all the girls ooing over Legolas so when I watched FOTR I didn't know who was who or anything, I'd seen The Hobbit cartoon but that's it. And I was only semi paying attention to what was going on. I saw Aragorn and went, "That must be Legolas because he's the only man in this entire movie who's fangirl worthy." The actual Legolas went by pretty much unnoticed. Who wants prancing elf boy when there's a real man available?

Anyway, Microsoft gave out a dollar in free points on the Xbox so Victor spent it on an indie zombie game and played it all evening. I came in here and wound up spending the next hour or so writing. It felt good. Dunno if I'm still going to like some of it today. Sometimes when I write I go on tangents because it feels good to take it one way and then I realize it's not really in character or continuity and have to edit it or erase it.

Bonecrusher is so cute. It's become routine in the last few weeks that when I have breakfast I pour him some milk in the cap and set it on the floor for him to drink out of, then I pour the rest back into the carton. Occasionally Atton will want some too but not usually.

Maybe it was how much sleep I got yesterday, but going to bed was hard. I had a lot of trouble getting to sleep and staying there. It wasn't until Victor came to bed later that I started sleeping well. Fairly well I guess. Today I got about a normal amount of sleep and got up around 7.
