Ah, the sounds of Halo two. How did I survive in a house previously so quiet? Josh and I just returned from the Sammamish EB where we waited in line along with ~150 others to pick up “our” copy of Halo 2. When the Xbox was released, we journeyed to the Redmond Town Center, and about 3:00 am (after I had been asleep in the car for 2 hours), Josh emerged victorious … the proud owner of his very own Microsoft gaming console. Tonight, we smartened up and did our best to avoid the crowed by distancing ourselves from the heart of Bungie … this time 6.75 miles as opposed to last time’s 1.25 miles. I think it helped … although I’m sure the Sammamish crowd paled in comparison to the Redmond crowd. We just had a few Microsofties, lots of teenagers, two or three cool yet obviously annoyed mothers, and a cigar smoking guy who couldn’t quite figure out if he wanted to be Michael Moore or Kevin Smith. That, and an EB store manager who was obviously drunk with power but doing an excellent job of controlling his crowd. I even won a raffle to play 5 minutes of multiplayer while the crowd waited and watched from the cold,
Office Pro, foggy parking lot. Luckily, the EB folks let Josh take my “prize,” but since, at the time,
Office Professional Plus 2007, I was pretty much the only girl there,
Buy Windows 7, I think I disappointed some boys. (Sorry, guys. I’m cool, but not that cool.) Josh beta tested Halo 2 so I’ve had a few weeks of peace,
Office 2010 License, but now as I type (1:15 am on a Tuesday), my house is filled with the soothing seems of bad acting and cheesy music. (Oh, did I just say that? ;-) Josh, darling,
Office 2010 Standard, I'm just teasing.) Anyway … Halo, welcome back to the Ledgard household. We missed you! It was lonely around here without the pitter patter of little machine guns. Now, let’s see if I can get some sleep before my 9:00 am meeting.. gretchen
