Tuesday
Work. Wasn’t bad. Didn’t have to move too much today; that’s always a bonus. I listened to “We Can Remember It For You Wholesale”, by Phillip K. Dick. This is the short story that was the basis for the movie Total Recall and its derivative Showtime series Total Recall 2070. He also wrote the short story “The Minority Report,” basis for the upcoming Tom Cruise movie of the same name.

Jess and I started “End-of-the-night Tetris® Challenge” on Saturday night. We each play one game on the Gameboy, greatest number of lines wins. So far, I’m 0-for-3. I came close to winning Sunday night (I only needed 3 lines), but I put a couple of pieces in the wrong place and….. lost the game. *shrug* I’ll win some day night! She got home after I went to bed last night, so I left the Gameboy and a note with my score (105 lines) on it. I woke up this morning to the following note:

133 lines (smiley face)

“I win! I always win! Is there no one on this planet to even challenge me?!?”¹ You may as well admit defeat now – it will be less painful in the long run!

She’s the coolest girlfriend in the world… even if she does kick my ass at Tetris.

Off to read or draw or something…

Peace.
