no good deed

When Dorkass and I were each furiously dating, we somehow ended up spending every Friday night together. We certainly never planned to. It just happened that way. We killed time together by killing one another, specifically in the old Nintendo 64 game GoldenEye. Many hours that would otherwise be spent lamenting one or both of us being stood up were instead spent pumping one another full of bullets. And grenades. And rockets. And proximity mines. And we saw that it was good.

A few weeks ago, we were reminiscing about GoldenEye. We'd each long since discarded our old N64s, but I got to wondering: how much could a 12 year old machine possibly cost? And thus did I agree to buy an N64 and GoldenEye if Dorkass would take a boat to my house. And she did. And we ate cake and killed one another countless times. And it was good again.

"Be sure to write in your stupid blog that I came out here for this," she chided, shortly before tripping over a cable and breaking my newly acquired machine.

No problem, numbnut. Consider it written.
