Crackdown: How I Spent My Weekend

With Metroid: Corruption not coming to stores for another week and a half, I was anxious to pick up something old for the Xbox 360 that I never was able to play because of other games. For the past 2 days I've running and jumping around in Crackdown, the super-human, futuristic, elite cop version of Grand Theft Auto. I played it until 4am on Saturday and for a few hours today. I'm at least addicted to this game.

But instead of talk about how much I like the game and what about it turns me on, I'm going to talk about what I didn't do this weekend because of it.

I didn't mow the grass on Saturday. It's finally growing back green and bushy. The electric lawnmower won't like these extra growth days one bit.

I didn't do my laundry. Well, the last bit is actually in the dryer right now. If I'm lucky, I'll have wrinkled corduroy to wear tomorrow.

I didn't install the crown moulding in the bathroom. Even with the used compound mitre saw Dad gave me. I did get one piece cut and up. Three left. I could do it in an hour I think.

I didn't wash my car. But since my Maxima got totaled in an accident last summer, a car I loved, I realized that washing cars can be such a waste of time.

Not like video games.
