We have to see the chimp playing hockey! That's hilarious! The ice is so slippery, and, and monkeys are all irrational. We have to see this!

In addition to cleaning all the things today, I went shopping in my closet. I'm now able to fit into clothes that I haven't been able to wear in years, and I just fixed the hook and eye on a skirt and sewed a button back on my tweed suit jacket so that I can add them into my wardrobe rotation.

Certainly tree sex is painful. It's gorgeous out there with everything blooming and green and spectacular. But it's ouchie too.

I keep looking out at my pretty (overgrown) meadow of a yard, and then clutching my head because of the near-constant sinus headache.

Anyone for Portal 2 co-op?

What system are you on? Because Pete has now played through Portal 2 twice (once with developer commentary), and probably needs someone to play co-op with. GLaDOS remains awesome, and I now randomly say "Burn their house down with LEMONS!" , because it will never stop being funny.

Well damn. Can you do co-op cross-systems? 'Cos Pete is on Xbox360.

Frak. Looks like you can do cross-platform with the PS3 but not a 360.

ETA: How does it play on 360? Every time I've tried to play an FPS with a gamepad I've gone running back to mouse+keyboard.

Pete only plays console games, so it's completely natural to him. I don't play video games (hush, Rock Band doesn't count) partially because I cannot get the hang of using the damn controllers. But I know Pete was really happy with the gameplay for Portal 2.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."

Sorry, chris, haven't had a chance to buy it yet. I'm looking forward to it, though.

Errr....on reread, that sounded kind of abrupt. Thanks anyway, Jilli and Pete, and I definitely agree on the gameplay and the writing both.

ION, I put together a storage thingy for over the toilet. it has doors that close and everything and now we can keep towels in each bathroom (well in one bathroom so far, I only got 1 or 2 put together since I had no help). WHEE!
