Going away for two weeks

MoriartyL · 08-13-2006, 02:47 AM

Tomorrow morn' I'll be getting on a plane with my family and we'll be taking a vacation in America for two weeks. "Vacation", heh. The past year has been nothing but relaxation, and this is going to be so hectic... Oh, but it should be very fun. We'll be driving all over the place, passing through New Jersey, Boston, Niagara Falls, Chicago, Detroit, and Washington D.C., probably not in that order. (I don't know a thing about geography, and no, I don't care.) Along the way we'll be meeting family and doing stuff of some sort.

Anyway, I probably won't have internet access often. So do me a favor: If you have any plans of starting a community playthrough of Myst, arguing that The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time is not the best game ever made, or appreciating Metroid Prime 2: Echoes (or the more likely argument about inventory puzzles), would you kindly wait 'til I'm back?

Hve fun

I was planning to do all those things, but I'll wait until you're back.

Spoiler:
I'm gonna have to get a copy of Myst, play OoT to the end, and play through Metroid Prime 2 first, anyway, so

Have a good trip

New Jersey? What for!?

Fairygdmther · 08-13-2006, 07:00 AM

Mory, have a great time! And be sure to take pics to show us! All of the places you've mentioned are in the northeast quadrant of the US, so summer is a good time to vacation there.

Sounds like a great time. Have fun.

Jelena · 08-13-2006, 08:31 AM

Have a nice trip Mory!

I was born there, and my parents have lots of friends there. My aunt lives there, too.

PICS!! pics... I hadn't even thought of taking pictures, oh me oh my. Luckily my mother is bringing her digital camera, so that's not out of the question. I'm not sure what pictures I'd want to share (I don't like pictures featuring people posing with phoney smiles.), but I'm sure I'll think of something.

*Melanie68* · 08-13-2006, 09:21 AM

Any cool scenery, neat buidings, nature. Those would work.

MoriartyL · 08-29-2006, 08:48 AM

I'm back. What'd I miss?

MoriartyL · 08-29-2006, 08:49 AM

Oh, and I have no pics. Good moments for pictures came and went, in which I couldn't figure out how to get someone else's camera so quickly that I could take the picture before the moment passed.

Intrepid Homoludens · 08-29-2006, 08:50 AM

Good to see you again, Mory.

Jelena · 08-29-2006, 08:53 AM

No pics?

Now you'll have to write a loong post telling us all about your trip.

Oh, and welcome back of course!

RLacey · 08-29-2006, 08:58 AM

Welcome back

. I don't think you've missed anything particularly notable. Except the demolition job inflicted on Pluto.

Tobbe · 08-29-2006, 08:59 AM

Welcome back! Hope you had a great time and relaxed!

It's going to take at least another generation for that recategorization to culturally take effect in people's minds:

Robsie at 80: "Meh, when I was a wee bairn we had a very slow broadband
internet, and Pluto was actually a planet!"

RLacey · 08-29-2006, 09:07 AM

Aside from the fact that I'm not Scottish - and so would never use the phrase "wee bairn" - and that I'm actually old enough to remember 28.8k dial-up, that is probably what I'm going to be like

Intrepid Homoludens · 08-29-2006, 09:08 AM

I dunno, you Brits seem to sound all alike at a glance.

RLacey · 08-29-2006, 09:47 AM

Someone's been watching too much Lost, methinks...
