In Which the Author Reminds Everyone that He’s a Huge Geek

Cripes, I’m starting so many posts here with an explanation of the delays between posts that I’m starting to feel like Jim Anchower.

In any case, here’s what I’ve been up to lately:

• Visiting Sheryl in Berkeley, which involved (among other things) dinner at Chez Panisse Cafe. Very well-executed food, but oddly unexciting. Impeccable service, though.

• Playing Contact on the DS. Not your average RPG. No bizarre hairstyles in sight.

• Playing Metroid Prime 3: Corruption on the Wii. Them Space Pirates blow up real nice. Amusingly, I came home from picking up copy of Prime 3 to discover that Scott had picked up Prime 1 for the Gamecube. So both of us are now playing two different Metroid games on the Wii at the same time. We’re huge geeks, no matter what Isabel claims.
