On and on and on and...

No, this isn't some set up for me talking about how I rocked it till the break of dawn. This is yet another forum for me to throw in an "I hate Suze Orman" comment. Last night, Dynamo decided it would be "funny"* to play the !Viva Pinata! video game he borrowed from Shiv (note: Shiv is now dead to me and banned from my apt. To be fair, I have an entire policy on banning corpses from my apt. anyway). This was funny in much the same way Dynamo's girlfriend thinks it's funny to make me watch Suze Orman. Who I LOATHE. I've told her, while I love TiVo with all my heart, I will destroy it to prevent another episode from playing while I'm within 200 yards of the apartment. In much the same way, I will sacrifice the XBox 360 for the greater good if I ever hear Leafass give hints as to how to bring more Pinatas into your garden. I wonder, was the target audience for this game chimps with brain damage? Or, worse yet, did someone let David Caruso come up with a video game for kids?


*Note: Why, in Time Out NY, is there an ad for Snapple declaring it the official "Iced Tea" of concerts? Is something sinister afoot in the world of best stuff on earth?

And Justice For All

Not only did Dynamo getting Xbox 360 usher in AX, it also brought many other changes. For one, he's now obsessed with firing on Panzer tanks and has gotten super good at avoiding grenades. In addition, our entire system of ownership has now changed. Thanks in part to a high level of nerdosity on my part, as well as a need to play as Moon Knight and Colossus in video game format, I purchased Marvel Ultimate Alliance (which I may already own for a different system) for what is currently Dynamo's Xbox 360. Then, Shiv came through for my birthday and gave me another game, giving me a grand total of 2. As Dynamo only has 3, it seems to me that ownership is up for grabs. Thinking over the situation carefully, I realized we should employ the Supreme Court Initiative. This is, of course, the principle that 5 is more than 4, so whichever side has 5 wins. Of course, if the side has MORE than 5, they'd win too (unless Justice Alito raised both hands, which would be cheating). Therefore, I only need 3 more games to be triumphant. Or, one Clarence Thomas.
