Upbeats and shout-outs

Geez, this blog sucks. Whose job is it to update this thing anyway? I don't know, but whoever it is, he's asleep at the switch or something. While he gets his act together, I'd like to say a few things. i did actually go to the big city of Chicago recently and did some fun stuff. I'll cover them briefly in a little segment I like to call...

Chi-town Shout-outs

-Shout-outs to my friends at ComedySportz Chicago, who put on a great improv show, as they always do. A special shout-out to my good friend Tara, who was on the mic that night doing great sound effects, score keeping, and giving me a shout-out of my very own. She has a blog that's much funnier and updated much more often than mine. I recommend you check it out.

-A shout-out to the Museum of Science and Industry, for giving me the greatest experience I've ever had in a museum. While my mom was off viewing creepy plasticized people, I was having the time of my life at an exhibit on - get this - the history of video games. Over 100 games representing the entire spectrum of video gameology and they were all playable. And we went really early so I didn't have to wait to play at all. Some highlights definitely included rocking the original coin-op Ms Pac-Man, discovering The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy text adventure game, and finally getting my revenge on Parappa the Rappa. The first time I played it was on a demo machine in Target. I swear to this day that machine knew I was white and penalized me, because I was NOT rappin' "Awful."

-Shout-outs to the Chicago White Sox for demolishing the Dodgers and showing us a good game. An anti-shout-out to the drunk dude who was a jerk. It was wicked cold that night, so I had a blanket over my legs and the guy asked me if I was wearing a dress. Yeah dude, I'm wearing a dress. I enjoyed making fun of him as he was escorted off the premises.

That's about it from Chi-town. Not much luck apartment hunting, but I guess not many people look for a furnished apartment with a two or three month lease. I'm just special, I guess. Okay, I'll go whip that Tapeworm dude into shape. See if I can't get him to update more often.
