In celebration of the start of the weekend, and the free rein to do whatever-the-heck-I-want and still have time for other stuff later, I allowed myself to play the latest incarnation of Harvest Moon on my DS pretty much all last night, and all this morning.

Haha... I'm glad I'm not the only one that has "video game brain" after playing for a while. I can remember when I got caught up in Sims... I would imagine things like, "gee... what if my bathroom had no door" etc.

haha! I wish I could take Monday off... it's actually Columbus Day here but I don't have it off. My boss is away for a week starting Tuesday, though, so I might end up having a day off in there somewhere.

and oh man, Sims brain can be so funny... like you start picturing what color your little diamond would be... or it's amusing to make pancakes, especially when you are mixing the batter 'cause it sounds just like the game... there is this one wrench-type thing I use at work that sounds JUST like the wrench in the Sims when you fix your shower/dishwasher/whatever, and that always kind of cracks me up... and then there is scolding the cat for "running around crazily," or thinking of all your actions counting towards some status bar or point accumulation. the list goes on!

and then there is just imagining, what if WE are someone's else's video game?? except that they are way more technologically advanced and so the game we're in is way more detailed?

OK now I'm just being a nerd.
but you know what I mean.

I sometimes wonder if we're floating on a speck of dust like in "Horton Hears a Who".

Apparently, at least you think more 'advanced' Sim thoughts than me... I imagine a smiley face dangling over my head... or an exclamation point... and I'm a little more bladder-focused, I guess... everytime I bring the mop out, I think how much it would suck to pee on my kitchen floor!
