Video games and the Zoo
Went to the zoo today on a date. I think going to the zoo has to be one of the better date destinations available. Anytime you do something inappropriate you can always distract her by pointing out the masturbating gorilla and suddenly your transgression doesn't seem so bad. There is always something to talk about which keeps you from having to come up with fresh conversation and allows your mind a break from constantly quality checking everything that comes out of your mouth (a big personal danger for me). The negatives: It is hard to put on the romantic airs with the smell of elephant feces all around you. I'm not saying it can't be done, but I sure as hell don't have requisite level of smoothness to pull that one off. A suave nature is something I have never been accused of by the fair sex. I am about as cassanova as a drunken Jerry Lewis on the 23rd hour of a telethon. Entertaining, yes, but not suaveOn the subject of video games (I wasn't but segues ain't my thing), EA has put something truly depressing into this year's crop of sports games. Your EA sports bio tracks how long you have been playing and what your achievments are. While it has been nice to take UNC to the Fiesta Bowl and win the National title, I don't like the fact that it also tells me it took me 46 hours of gameplay to do so. I prefer to have my life leak away without me knowing exactly how long it takes.
