caturday status update basil knows his name!→[More:]
we got gta4. it is beautiful and has an utterly magnificent soundtrack and is full of hilarious piss-takes on american culture.
First weekend in much too long that I've been in a really good mood, as opposed to super-sensitive and over-apologetic. It feels great.
Good bike ride, then took the boy out for brunch and a walk through the downtown market.
Some shopping for a bag to use while sitting on the beach, not really happy with what I got though. Maybe I'll return it and keep looking? Something from etsy?
Got new tennis shoes and swim goggles, both on sale.
Thinking of raking the small back yard before making reuben sammiches for dinner.
BTGOG: whatever you do, don't kill Dwayne. His incidental dialogue is one of the best parts of the game, IMO.
Fun thing to do: steal a fast boat, like a JetMax. Drive it out to the midpoint of a bridge and bump it up against a support. Swim to shore. Walk onto bridge, start shooting helicopters with the rocket launcher. Create a barrier of wrecked cars in either direction. Watch as your warning level rises and SWAT teams appear. When the heat gets too much, jump off the bridge into your waiting boat and speed away, chuckling evilly.
Sometimes the JetMax will disappear, and that sucks, cuz then it's instadeath. But when it works, it makes you feel like a Bond villain.
