Except maybe Nick for his over-use of exclamation points. Hmm... well, ok, even Nick. Merry Christmas, all!  |

This is going to be beyond nerdy, but... Let's Play Deadly PremonitionNot sure how many of you guys actually played this game, but I haven't since I don't own a 360. But seriously, watch it. I can't exactly describe it, but when the protagonist can smoke, talk on a cell phone, use a laptop, and examine evidence while driving through a stormy night, it can only be awesome. |

Logo: so, what happened this morning?
Triia: Gah
Triia: Well, I was on my way home
Triia: Feeling so happy to be headed home to a nice warm bed
Triia: And I was turning onto the service drive to get onto the expressway
Triia: I got cut off and in trying to avoid the guy, I hit the curb
Triia: Hard
Triia: And blew out my tire
Triia: By the time I stopped I was halfway down the ramp
Triia: So, here I am, halfway on the ramp, with a flat time, at 7:30 in the morning
Triia: It was not pretty
Triia: Well, I was pulled off to the side
Triia: But I was terrified at the idea of trying to change my tire right there
Logo: Wow, yeah
Triia: So, the best option seemed to be to wait for abreak in traffic and back up
Triia: Which I tried to do, in stages
Triia: At one point, while waiting for a clear spot, I turned around and there were flashing lights
Triia: SAVED! HURRAY!
Triia: ... nope
Triia: A state police vehicle goes whizzing past me and just rushes on
Triia: I was... not happy
Triia: I finally think I'm backed up enough to where I can pull over the last bit and get onto the service drive, but when I tried it, it was still to steep
Triia: And I thought I got my car stuck
Triia: At this point, my distress levels were fairly high
Triia: But, I soldiered on and managed to get clear, onto the service drive and into a small parking area
Triia: Fortunately (thank god, really), I was on the campus of Wayne State Univ.
Triia: So, I had a nice quiet spot to change my tire and go home
Triia: No problem
Triia: Other than it was very cold
Triia: Very, very cold
Triia: Oh, and the fact that my lug wrench did NOT fit on the lug nuts
Triia: ... yeah
Triia: That's where some of the language came in
Triia: So, off I wander, in hopes of finding someone to help me get a phone number to call roadside assistance or something
Triia: I'm parked, at this time, in the depths of the engineering section of the college
Triia: Huh... not that that's really relevant at this point
Triia: Anyway
Triia: Off I go and there's one of those blue security light phone booth thingys
Triia: And I pondered whether I could use that to call and get help
Triia: I peek into the build it's at and there's a light on
Triia: The door is unlocked!
Triia: It's warm inside!
Triia: There's... no one there...
Triia: So, I wander back out to see someone pulling into the nearby parking area
Triia: I'm staring at her debating whether she works there and if I should ask for help when she starts staring back
Triia: I wave sheepishly
Triia: She waves warily back
Triia: I approach the car and explain my situation
Triia: She works there and hauls me off to one of the buildings
Triia: I might mention at this point that I'd expected to have to walk a slightly significant distance back the way I came to find a place to call or even back to the hospital
Triia: This is practically 100 yards from where I'm parked
Triia: She head in, sticks her head in the first open office and starts asking questions of a grad student working there
Triia: Some phone calls are made
Triia: No one on campus security or parking seems willing to help
Triia: So, the guy offers to come out to the car with me to have a look at things
Triia: I suspect they all thought I was either a little crazy or a bit slow when I told them the wrench didn't fit the nuts
Triia: Anyway, I hadn't missed anything... he couldn't get it to work either
Triia: He tells me he's going to take my wrench and go back to their shop and try to find a similar sized wrench and off he goes
Triia: I try to warm up in the car and ten minutes later, he's back
Triia: One of the wrenches fits
Triia: We get the tire changed
Triia: I thank him profusely
Triia: (Honestly, I wanted to hug him)
Triia: I drive home very slowly
Triia: And by 10:30, I'm in bed
Triia: The end
Logo: That was a good story
Logo: I liked the part where you waved sheepishly
Logo: And they were afraid of you
Triia: Well, I don't think anyone was ever afraid of me
Logo: Wait, no, this is my version of the story
Triia: Oh, I see
Logo: Well, at least how I started imagining it when your telling wasn't living up to expectations
Triia: Wait... what?
Triia: Up to what expectations?
Logo: Anyway, by that point, you were sopping wet and covered in mud
Triia: D:
Triia: Mud?
Triia: It was about 20 degrees outside!
Triia: I'd have been dead!
Logo: Because while pushing your car into the parking lot, you had fallen and writhed around in the mud, swearing profusely
Triia: D:
Logo: Meanwhile, you had attracted a family of pigs, who were impressed with your style and language
Logo: Interstate pigs are more cultured than the types of pigs you may be used to
Logo: Anyway, back at the door, you were scraping at the door, as the interstate pig family snorted and oinked around you
Logo: Naturally they were a bit afraid of you
Logo: Now do you understand how it happened?
Triia: Hmm... I think
Logo: I assume the guy only helped you because he assumed they they may be battle pigs
Triia: Possibly
Logo: I am very sorry about your morning, though
Logo: But I'm glad it ended with you warm in bed at a reasonable hour
Triia: Heh
Triia: When I was getting stuff out, before I knew the wrench didn't fit, I was thinking of how you would not approve of my situation at all
Logo: What do you mean?
Triia: Well, it would worry you, I'd think
Logo: Oh, yes
Logo: I'm glad you told me at the end of it
Logo: And didn't call me screaming "I'M SURROUNDED BY BATTLE PIGS AND I'M ABOUT TO DIE!"
Triia: lol
Triia: But if I was surrounded by battle pigs, you'd think I'd be feeling fairly confident
Logo: That was before you won them over
Triia: Ah
Logo: Gosh, you'd think you'd know your own story

I am not a big breakfast fan, but I do like Life cereal. Also, Fage yogurt has been one of my most amazing discoveries on the breakfast front EVER. It's like eating strawberry/blueberry/cherry/peach cheesecake for breakfast... legally!  Yes, the spoon really does stand up, easily. It's that thick. Mmmmm.... |
