Thursday is the new Wednesday...

It's true.

Since Monday is my Sunday, my Monday is really Tuesday...

So I get to think the week is half over on Thursday....and when it's Wednesday, and it SHOULD be the middle of the week, and it feels like I just started the week....it makes me happy to think: "ahh, it's already Wednesday, but it feels like the week has just started!"

That probably doesn't make any sense.

I'll be honest with you...I just looked up the word "doesn't" on dictionary.com, because Blogger seems to think I've misspelled it, and I suddenly began to doubt whether or not I've spelled it correctly...I think Blogger is just experiencing a small glitch.

This is really a nonsense post. I'm warning you that you'll most likely get nothing at all out of reading this.

Also, I thought I'd share with Robert (because only he will find this even remotely interesting) that today was a Speech day in one of my classes...where the students prepare a very short speech on the topic given and we work on giving speeches. Clearly. That's not the story...sorry...Anyway, the topic was something shocking that happened to you. And one of the men wrote that his shocking event was when he won a PS3 in drawing. It was a good story, and at the end of the speech the audience gets to ask questions and someone asked about his other video games, and apparently he loves and owns many other systems...then I asked him what his favorite game of all time is.....

Robert...

I kid you not..



The man said...... SPACE CHANNEL 5

space.channel.5.


It made me laugh and he loved that I knew about the game, and the long and short of it is that now that entire class of 5 business men all think I'm a video game freak.

And that was the best part of my day.

Hahahahaha. Space Channel 5! Awesome. Hey, did you ask him if his does a weird delay thingy too? Because that makes the copy we have very difficult to play.

Or maybe Robert and I are just really bad at it. That's a possibility.

Robert said...

No Sean, we are bad at nothing, the game is CLEARLY flawed.

Lauren, I lol'ed pretty loud when I ready that. Mostly because of the way I imagine a Japanese man would pronounce Space Channel 5.

I'm sure he only likes it because it has a cameo from Jackson himself (or "Space Michael").

Robert said...

New "dear Lauren", btw. I promise to pick up the pace.

Mom said...

Where is delay that is you guys have? There is a known delay that I read about..."Another annoyance is that the full motion video backgrounds and polygonal characters are often out of a sync by a few tenths of a second. This means that while the background may have switched to a new camera angle, the view of the characters will remain the same for an instant."
Is that the delay you are having? What other systems will this game play on?

Robert said...

Lol, mom, you have too much time on your hands.

The game is one where you have to press buttons at exactly the right instant, to a beat. The delay seems to be between the beat and when the game actually reads a button-press as correct, because no matter how hard we try we can NEVER do well!!!

It was originally on Dreamcast, so I'm thinking that it could have been messed up in the move to my PS2?

Honestly, its more likely that the problem is that sean and I suck.

Sean said...

That's whay I said, and you were all "No Sean, we are bad at nothing, the game is CLEARLY flawed."

Wtf, man?

Mom said...

Well maybe I do and maybe I don't, maybe I just want to be edumacated on something new that I'd never heard about. I'm just using the internet to open up my limited horizons! WooHoo!

Mom said...

Oh and also....
Maybe you guys really do suck at the game! Love Ya!

Brittany said...

Ren-chan... I love you and miss you. But reading these posts from your familiy makes me feel like you're still with me. They are hilarious. And your mom is clearly awesome.

Lauren said...

Hahaha!

Bri-chan- I miss you too!! (I got you a present, btw...but I have to figure out how to mail it..haha <3)

Robert and Sean- You do suck at the game, as evidenced by MY awesome rockingness at it.

But the man did mention that he owned the game on Dreamcast, and when they started to tank, he bought it again on Playstation....and that the playstation version was harder to play because of the timing.

Only...he said it in laboured English.

Mom-

I greatly admire your dedication to educating yourself, especially in things that your son is interested in...

Lynn said...

Uh, what is Space Channel 5? Can it be played on Atari? Is is the same as Galaga........ am I showing my age? Laura knows.....

Mom said...

Lynn, do what I do and look it up on the internet then you can get on a blog and sound all ummm... smart and stuff, and ummm... have your kids and their friends be impressed with all your knowledge and stuff, ummm...yea that's it!

And ummm... Brittany, girl you ROCK!

Lauren, That's one of the most fun aspects of a mom's job and I'm looking forward to watching you be interested in your child's activities even when they are rather ummm... different!

LOVE YALL!
