Yesterday after work we jetted off to Costco and made a surgical strike, picking up only the things we needed and skipping the areas that we knew had nothing of interest. Right in the middle of our shopping spree we ran into Micchi and Takkun – old friends from a long time ago. They live in the next town but we almost never see them. Micchi was eight months pregnant and Takkun looked much older and more mature. It just goes to show that life is still running along, even if you don’t happen to notice. It was really good to talk to them, and I’m hoping everything goes well for them next month with their new baby.
Once we got home we ate some Costco ribs while unpacking all the goodies and putting them away. After almost two years of watching me, Kuniko decided it was the night for her to actually try to play Skyrim on the PS3. She was afraid of getting hooked, but I think she’ll be OK. It lead to a few moments of panic during the initial game, too. Skyrim is such a deep game that it’ll take a while to get used to it. Still, to watch her play for the first time was kind of a big moment. Another addict is born (possibly).
Heavy, heavy rain right now so we’re thinking about driving in to work (again). Al Gore would not be happy with us.
