Good Thing We Own a Camera
It is always good to have photographic evidence of a thing that generally defies one’s normal belief systems. And true, one can do wonders with Photoshop, but in this case who’d bother?
Case in point, my wife is generally not a fan of video games. “Huge waste of time” is oftentimes what she says about them. So what you have below is evidence that my lovely and talented wife actually picked up a video game and played it. At least once.
And Lucas, of course, leaning over her shoulder, telling her what to do. “Mom, grab that box!”
And my favorite of the bunch. Reha looking up and telling me, “You made me lose one of my dudes. What the hell is wrong with you, with that flash all up in my face?”
Truth be told, she didn’t play for very long and afterward said that staring “at that tiny screen” made her nauseous.
Baby steps, people, it’s all about the baby steps.
In time we’ll have her begging to buy an Xbox 360 and an HDTV, so she can skool us in Halo 3.
AND!
She actually used the word “pwned” in a sentence. She even used it correctly in context. As in “You got PWNED just then!” Everyone looked at her kind of askew when she said it, but she did say it, I promise.
I’m sensing a convert.
PWNED?

“Made me lose one of my dudes.” Ha!

And RaJ… Technically she was playing a Mario Kart game and my distracting flash “made me drive my dude off the road.” But it’s close enough. :-]

Really, I'm glad you made it down here. Almost no one ever comes down here. I'm like in a freaking dungeon down here. I get lonely. But not you. YOU made it all the way to the end of the page. For this I think I've a little crush on you. I don't know, is "love" to strong a word to use in this situation? Well, if it's not "love," then it's very strong "like." I'm totally in like with you for coming down here. You are awesome. Please love me back! I know, I know, I shouldn't be all needy, it's not attractive at all, but you don't know how it is to be stuck down here. Who scrolls all the way to the end of a page anymore these days? Anyway, thanks for shedding some light down here in the depths. I appreciate it. Shoot me an email and I'll send you a dollar, OK?
