Of Course I Like Him. I Like Pizzas Too, But I'm Not Gonna Marry One

by Rainier on Jan. 20, 2011 @ 12:00 a.m. PST | Filed under MOTD

The sickness seems to be going around these days. Some of our friends have it, and now my wife also has the sniffles. Usually, I'm not prone to catching other people's cooties, so let's hope I keep a clean track record.

In our circle of friends, it's quite known that Wednesday is homemade taco night. We've been doing it for the past 10 years, and they taste just as delicious as ever. The weird thing is that people always happen to show up around dinnertime, and they never decline when asked if they want to stay and join us.

I finally managed to check out Eve Online, and man, does that game have a steep learning curve! It took me a few hours just to figure out how to get out of the tutorial and actually do some newbie missions. Rest assured that there was a lot of cursing involved, and if it weren't for some of my Vent buddies to guide me through it, I'd have already uninstalled it.
