Had my physical the other day. Saw that I was about 10 pounds over than I would like, so I’ve gotten back into cutting calories and watching what I eat. Also got my test results back today. I don’t talk to the doctor about it next week but there’s a couple abnormalities that popped up that got my wondering how bad things are. Hopefully it’s something that I can easily fix myself and not the start of some long ass health issue thing. Guess I’ll find out next week!
I mentioned last week that I was gonna be going to Denton with a friend of mine. Well, we didn’t go. Due to the rain we figured it’d be worth postponing to a later date so as to be able to walk around. Instead we went to this retro video game store with her and her husband. And I gotta say, I don’t think I care to go to retro game stores anymore. It’s fucking depressing. Anything I’m remotely interested in is like $100+ on the low end, jumping upwards to hundreds of dollars. They had shit like Magic Knight Rayearth for $999, Popful Mail for $150, and a boxed copy of Earthbound for $3000. Who the fuck is buying this shit?! Obviously nobody since it’s still at the store, but goddamn! Just completely zaps the joy from me, reminding me I’m too poor to enjoy the shit I used to. Or at least enjoy it on actual hardware. Thankfully emulation exists.
Afterward we went to Grandscape or whatever and checked out the gachapon store. It was neat, though honestly wasn’t much I was interested in. I’m sure I would’ve loved it back when I was a teenager/early 20s and still watching new seasonal stuff as it aired. Wound up spending $15 trying and failing to get a small Gouf model kit and a Snufkin keychain, which is proudly hanging on my bag. Then we went to this ice cream sandwich place where I spent $14 on six cookies, only to get to the front and saw that they had a dozen day old cookies for $13. The cookies were good, but man! I could’ve had double the cookies for half the cost! Lesson learned.
After getting food we went back to their house and watched half of His and Her Circumstances while dranking and tried to find the photo from the Taylor Swift concert held at my high school back in 2007 that I was forced to go to due to being in band. According to my high school’s facebook page it exists, but we flipped through a couple of the books and then gave up. While the retro game store visit was depressing all in all it was a fun day! Always nice hanging out with my friends.
Anywho, that’s it for this week. Laters!
