Wow. That dog is some Jesus ugly.

So, I finished teaching for the week. Now, I'm at home, waiting for temps to cool before I go for a walk. I just realized I'm going to be in Palm Desert tomorrow. It's way to hot to go further into the hot and the AC on my car is sketchy. I don't have time to get it fixed before I leave. Meep.

You can take my car, although that's not nearly as much fun.
tommyrot, thanks for the link to the old-school electronic games - I'd totally forgotten that I had a Blip game! Also had Merlin, Mattel Football I, Football II, the Auto Racing one, the spaceship shoot'em up which was exactly the Auto Racing run in reverse. And my neighbor friends had Mattel Baseball, Basketball, Soccer, and Hockey. And someone we knew had one of the Coleco Head-to-Head jobbies.
I still have my Football II.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.
I still have a Mattel Hockey around somewhere.

Fire bad, tree pretty. Tree on Fire, sad-making.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
You're welcome.
My brother and I had Fooball (I or II) - we both got to the point where we could take up an entire half with one posesion, scoring a touchdown when the clock had ran out (thus preventing the other player from getting more than one posession the entire game). This was, in fact, the best way to win....

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
That dog was effed up looking.
sara, I'm sorry for your coworker, but stunned that you've each been in the same job for eight years! That blows my mind.

Um.
Those into old school video games may want to check out a bar in Brooklyn called Barcade. Lots of American micro-brews and a few dozen classics like Centipede, Ms Pacman, Out-Run, etc.

I'm.not.good.at.change.
(oh, and he's been here 15 years. He met his wife here-she moved on to other things.) I kinda feel like shit.
Did I mention I turn 30 this weekend?
Needless to say, this has not been a fun couple of weeks. In retrospect (after last week's freakout) I wish it'd been me. Because that would force SOMETHING.

FWIW, sarameg, I turned 30 in February, and I've found it to be positvely liberating. New decade! Clean slate!
It probably helped that my twenties were pretty damned tumultuous.
ETA: And I just left the job I've had for the last eight years! Weird.
