i think i’ll go there when it gets seasonable

Hello! Insert the usual complaipologies about not posting much lately here. Phew, glad that’s done with.
I’m chewing over a longish post about video games, but it’s too late tonight and I have email to answer and coop work to do so it’ll have to wait. Instead, a few brief updates:
I. You’ll be happy to know that I did finally get some (at least theoretically) nontoxic sunscreen. It’s a bit thick and goes on very white, but it rubs in pretty well and doesn’t leave me looking any paler than usual. At least I don’t think so — you’ll tell me if it does, right?
II. Tonight was movie night. Some people had fun movie homework. In our house we’ve given in to the dark side of the force, because we were stupid enough to tell Gus about Episodes 1-3. In case you were wondering, Phantom Menace is JUST as bad the second time around. Though apparently Jar Jar was written with a 6 yr old in mind, because Gus found him HI-larious.
III. I should have cleaned the house today, but I Just Did Not Feel Like It. Which I know comes as a huge shock to you. I don’t know, I’ve been kind of resenting cleaning lately, even though I do like to clean. Of course it’s the time, really. Maybe I need a new strategy. I’ve been doing 50% of the cleaning each weekend, but maybe I should go to 100% every other weekend and take a weekend off.
IV. My iPhone pusher would like me to know that the Apple store is SOLD OUT of iPhones. I’m not sure why I need to know that, but now you know it, too.
V. I kind of <3 this band from D.C., Julie Ocean. But I’m kind of thinking that they are pretty standard power pop too. But #2, I cannot get the song out of my head. So there you go.
VI. Work = still awesome.
VII. Popfest is coming up. I’m thinking Friday night and Sunday afternoon. You?

Har, you crack me up! It was a song by the Undertones, this 70’s (I think) pop-punk Irish band. But maybe they *wished* they were Billy’s little sister!
I am curious to read your longish post about video games. Thanks to gus, I knew to find rupees in the long grass in Zelda.
KJ, ask and ye shall receive! :) See you Saturday — Gus can show you his mad Pikmin 2 skillz.
Julie Ocean has got to be Billy’s little sister, right?
Thanks to that train of thought, I can’t get “Caribbean Queen” out of my head (…or “out of my dreams, and into my car!”)
