The Eye of the Storm...The Eye of the Storm...

It is eerily quiet right now, at the House of the Pink Gecko... A. (my son) came down this weekend, and when he and J. get together it's like living with a cross between The Three Stooges, Beavis & Butthead, one of the nastier factions of the Mujahidin, and Dennis the Menace and his evil twin.

"Cool dude, We just rode each other's rockets!"

....

"You did what?"
"Deathmatch. Doom 2. We just rode each others rockets."

Which was a relief, needless to say. They've both jumped into puberty like its the last chopper out of 'nam.

It was also A's birthday on the 23rd (and boxx9000's son also, I think). He's 13 now, and advanced for his age. J. is 16. The house is riddled with hormones.

I used to play Doom 2 10 years ago. On the LAN at work. In fact as I recall, we came up with a business proposal for the LAN which our boss consequently bought, solely because we wanted to play Deathmatch games.

Doom 2 is back, as is Heretic and the original Doom, on a network called ZDaemon. It's awesome now. Yes the graphics kinda suck, but it is fun to get on with 15 other people and beat the crap out of one another. Google ZDaemon if you want to play.

Notice how Google has become a verb?

We went to Putt-Putt earlier in the day, which is like Vegas for kids. Later we're going to Cici's Pizza.

Looking at our balances and the number of paydays to Christmas, I think we are going to be having one of those 'it's the thought that counts' Christmases.

That's fine. All I want is a bottle of wine and a blowjob, and I don't mind buying the wine myself...
