Night Four: Temperature Check

36.2’ (96.2f)

Glad I’m at normal range because I’ve had a headache for almost two weeks now and the hypochondriac in me is always paranoid I have some wacky new strain of A/H1N1.  

In other news, there’s got to be a circle of Hell solely for hardcore gamers where you watch your girlfriend play Xbox shooters but miss the enemies all the time.  

Me: “Dude, you missed him!”
Her: “I know!”
Me: “Oh no, you hit the Big Daddy!  Don’t use the camera, use the shotgun!”
Her: “How do you switch weapons again?”
Me: “Right Trigger!  RIGHT TRIGGER!”
Her: “Is this the shotgun?”
*blows herself up with the grenade launcher* 

If I keep up this backseat gaming I’ll get a much deserved Xbox controller imbedded in my skull.
