Where'd my doggone weekend go? Just where'd it GO, for crying out loud? I just totally lost Saturday. Totally.

I did have a nice afternoon today with the LiveJournal expatriate formerly known as [livejournal.com profile] elizalouwho. We bummed around downtown, drank big-ass coffees, and did our normal shopping for used books, CDs, and hipster bargains at Urban Outfitters. She still wouldn't help me smuggle the vintage Donkey Kong machine out of Urban Outfitters, though. Females always try to come off all hardcore and shit (or not), but when it comes right down to it they're never down for the serious business of swiping Donkey Kong machines. Pffft. Goils.

Speaking of vintage video games, I've been on a big MAME kick lately. I've been playing a lot of, errrrm, Ms. Pac-Man, Donkey Kong, Galaga, and Punch-Out! Bad-ass games all.

But the REALLY cool thing I've come across lately is the pinball table emulation scene. These crazy bastards have gotten ahold of the software that runs pinball machines and come up with simulations of the tables. Last night I was playing very realistic and faithful versions of Fish Tales, Black Rose, The Addams Family, Hurricane, Lethal Weapon 3--all those kick-ass pinball machines I used to play.

God HELL, I sound like a nerd. But I have no idea how to redeem myself at this point.

Dude, my weekend must have taken off with yours. No sign of it now, and I'm sitting here thinking, Whatup... work again tomorrow?

Where is the love in that, I ask?

Yep, I should have known. My weekends have been known to take off with my friends' weekends. Bastards. T'ain't no love in that at all. Oh well, maybe they had fun together...

Probably more than we did, at least (HEH)

I am in a massive craving for meat pies. They are having a meat pie festival in Natchitoches this coming week and I am longing for some fried pie goodness. I may try to make some, but it's not the same as just sitting there buying them and stuffing them in your pie hole.

nerdy is still remembering the code to get to tyson. 007 373 5963. must have entered that a thousand times between 1987 and 1993.

assuming you're playing mike tyson's punch out, not the mike-less one, though the code is probably the same.

Nope, I'm talking about the arcade version (no Mike), but I played the Nintendo version a lot too. It was always at my stepbrother's house, though, so I never got good enough to get to Tyson on that one. I was finally able to beat Kid Quick, Pizza Pasta (!), and Mr. Sandman on the arcade version this week, though!

Man, I'd forgotten all about that one! But I just downloaded it and played a couple of games, and yeah, it's kick-ass! All those Williams games from back then were the bomb.
