Amused easily?

kyburgJim's doing impressions of the probe on its way to Pluto this morning. It involves speed lines and "holy fuck, who lit a match?!"
OH - prayers worked yesterday. Someone mentioned Ninentendo being the Apple of the handheld world? Can you say Apple Store at the same place that Lickety Split was at? Where I got my Mac Mini?
My AC:WW friends code is 1718-6240-6872. My town's name is El Lay, and my character's name is Soleil. Go for it.
There was also a "healthy eating alternative" spot called Tacone in plain view - and for $6, roughly, I had a wrap, a small bowl of soup and a drink. The wrap was more chicken than anything else, including flavor (grilled or grilled and steamed chicken - tender, but tasteless) but the soup was good, for mass-produced "homestyle" soup. They also put handfull of thick-cut potato chips in there - and I couldn't help but note that they were cooked a bit too long for most people's taste. (Ever look for the really overcooked brown chips in the bag? I do - but I don't know many people like me.)
Lickety-Split was a very tiny place that had more food than ice cream. And like most things in Manhattan Village? Waaay too much. But I have a place Jim can salve his frozen custard jones if he ever needed to (it's something of a mid-western thing - never ran into the stuff before going back to St. Louis that first time).
Got word at work yesterday that my cube-mate next door, the oldest person in our department? His wife had their first child the day before - something of an unexpected event, and he'd kept it under his hat for nearly the entire pregnancy. I think he was concerned that the pregnancy wouldn't end in a viable baby - and I truly believe he thought he was going to be childfree his entire life. She's 6 lbs and change, 16" long and unnamed at the moment. And Barry has almost ten years on me. His wife is from Thailand - and they've been married .. um .. gee. A looong time - but for all of his "hurr hurr I'm de man" talk, he refers to her still as "his bride" - and worships the ground she walks on.
Yeah, yeah - with all the shit going on with us, there's been a baby derby going on at work. (There's another guy up in web development waiting for his wife to go into labor as we speak.) I envy Barry his Y chromosome that allows him the option of having children so easily, older than me. He didn't want this - and I'm struggling like hell. *laughs* Ain't no justice in THIS game, chitlins.
In other news, being able to climb into a pre-warmed bed with a DS and playing until tired is a pretty good way to end the day this week.
