this morning at church i said, "hi derek!" and derek pointed at me and started laughing and said, "your blog is so messed up!" =Pit's weird that i have a comments thing on this now, because there used to be other people here. oh well. maybe i should stop talking about the blog and comments and stuff in my blog entries. in other news, i have pictures up! yay! check them out, the link is on the left. but i'll put the link here for convenience's sake.
i just played about 6 hours of "where in time is carmen sandiego" with my sister. actually, the whole entire game, from "time pilot" all the way until the end, the capture of carmen sandiego. did you know that carmen sandiego used to be an acme detective? we don't really own any high-tech or modern computer games, and no video games in my house. so "where in time is carmen sandiego" is the extent of it. last night we played "oregon trail" the hippest computer game of my generation. we played one with the saved by the bell cast, but it was politically incorrect and incomplete, since you can only have 5 people max, and lisa turtle was not on the wagon. we bought them a lot of celery and cheese to eat. kelly kapowski was the first one to die, and then someone else died, i forget who, might have been screech, and then zack morris, the main character, died, probably of heartbreak, so the game was over. it's pretty boring when everyone's health is excellent and nothing happens, so we played a dr. quinn, medicine woman cast, led by horace, suicide mission. the only thing we bought for them were 11 bonnets and oxen, because they won't let you leave without oxen. with rations set on "bare bones", they set out. we went hunting, and shot them in the foot, and provoked bear maulings, and any health accidents were left untreated and no rest. they gathered poisonous plants, and forded rivers even when conditions were bad. surprisingly, though, they lasted a pretty long time, and then everyone died and horace was the only one left, in "excellent" condition. so we dumped out all the food that he had by default and accidental bear killings, and he died of starvation pretty soon after that. i went to bed feeling disturbed, rather unsettled. but i think i am ready to take on "grand theft auto" now.
