After waking up, Erin, Marca and I packed up the kid for a romp to Chuck E Cheese's, where a kid can be a ferret.
We paud about $40 for a pepperoni pizza, 100 tokens, 4 soft drinks and a salad (Mmmm.......tasty salad).
The place looked CHEAP. The paper plates seemed uber cheap, the cups looked uber cheap, the silverware looked uber cheap, and even the pizza looked uber cheap. The video games ranged from kiddie to kiddified adultish games. But Sean was entranced, the adults had a great time, and I got something done I hadn't done in a LONG time....
I got to play Star Wars Arcade from start to finish. Sorta. It was definately on kiddle level since at Einstiens I can get JUST into the first yavin wave before it asks me for another quarter, but this time I managed to get ALL The way to the final Death star stage before I blew it. FUN was had by all. Not only that, but I have reached the stage of godhood I once bestowed on a man playing Tron in 1982. In 1982, I was one of a group of kids wathing, slack-jawed as a thrty year old made his way through level after level of Tron. To this day, I still can't get past stage 2 on Tron. However on this day, I had a gaggle of about ten kids watching as I attacked TIE Fighter after TIE fighter.
The apprentice beomes the master, the master moves on....
What I find funny, though, was the 100 tokens. I'd go to Diversions, pick up 100 tokens and they'd last me a good two or three weeks. So I kinda felt wierded out by them getting 100 for one night. They played games, Sean played games...I grabbed fou tokens and go on the Star Wars arcade. 1 token lasted me 45 minutes. It was the only one I played! And yet all the tokens were gone by the time we left. Wow.
One thing of shock: There seemed to be a tleast three birthday parties going on at once. The parents of all three youngsters looked to be about 13. 14 at the latest.
After I got home, I finished up the FIRST ANNIVERSARY EPISODE OF A WISH FOR WINGS, which basially wraps up the first third of AWFW. NExt weeks will be short, and the week after that, #30 should be the end of The Final Nightmare, and the first third of A Wish for Wings in general. Wow. To commemorate the event, I compiled the first brainstorm to the first episode drawn on one page, as told by my Livejournal, which you can read here.
The design on Episode #28 is for that episode only, but will eventually, come January, be the permanent design for AWFW, Closetspace and even Dolari.org. I've also added a tip jar to the page - give till it hurts....
I still had a lot of creative energy in me, and I created a wonderful Unicorn Jelly Round Robin (of which only two seem to be involved).
Couldn't sleep till about 7AM (too much pure sugar/.caffiene from Chuck E Cheeses no doubt) woke up at noon.
MONDAY
Been pretty blah all day. Put in for more jobs. Realizeing I may have to get minimum wage to get ANYWHERE.
Wrote a second part to the UJ/Iron Chef Round Robin....
Slow day.
Went out to look at the stars, saw how beautiful they were and, oh, look, a..........
ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ
Woke up an hour later to our cat Blert...who had offered me a mouse to dine on. :)
What a sweet cat. :)
