That's interesting, ita. Thanks for that perspective.

hmmm I wonder if Pete is playing Halo 3?
Oh yes. I finished the Campaign and now I'm upping the difficulty level and going back around again.

Eep! I just made an appt for GF and I to talk to a designer about starting a bathroom remodel! I'm both excited and terrified at the prospect.

Good god, Raq. It's a sad sad day when the DC DMV is the one getting praise, I tell ya. I went there after Vortex did, and whipped through the drive-through lane in ten minutes (though the walk up lane was much longer, the drive through is only for renewals). It was awesome.
AND the Apple Store fixed my computer (by giving my laptop a whole new keyboard!) in just a couple hours! YAY, go them.
Congratulations sj!!!

Calli: My people have a saying. A man who trusts can never be betrayed, only mistaken.Avon: Life expectancy among your people must be extremely short.
Someday, ita maybe PC can do all that. But in all honesty your mother has NEVER sounded as crazy and unfair and manipulative as PCs. Yours always sounded like a pretty typical mother other than the whole near-genius thing. PCs sounded like someone fighting to be in absolute control of PCs life - not just overprotective but trying to own him. I'm sure PCs mom is doing it out of love - but his mother and yours don't seem comparable. I mean whether your mother always respects them or not it seems like she's always acknowledged the existence of boundaries. (It actually sounds like your Mother mostly respects them too, but that is based only on what you post publicly on b.org.) So PC shouldn't give up, but it does not sound like he should have comparable expectations either.

Have we mentioned Pete's, er, obsessive nature when it comes to video games?

It came out yesterday, right?
Oh, and re: your tag, I caught a bit of Addams Family Values on Monday and thought of you, Jilli.

Yep. He was playing it by, oh, 1PM or so yesterday.

Yay! I think I'm going to watch part of that movie on the bus ride home tonight.
