It may come as no surprise coming from the guy who’s caricatured as an ape on his blog, but I think engaging in some immaturity from time to time is important: keeps you sane in a world that can be all too serious. So, yesterday when I received a copy of Nintendo Wii’s “Bully: Scholarship Edition” (Thanks, Wizard Managing Editor Mike Cotton!), I decided to make the stupid/immature but also entertaining/fun decision to stay up until 3 a.m. and check it out (I missed the Playstation version, since I’ve had a Nintendo as my “home” system since the original). Playing the game was a blast—though after a few hours my arms were tired from throwing Wii-punches to beat down bullies and homeless guys (Yes, I believe the game may be staining my soul)—but what this whole little vignette all boils down to is the simple fact that I’m tired as a dog (one of real tired kinds) and blogging has to take a backseat to sleeping tonight.
So, I’ll leave you with this for tonight:
A coffeemaker can just as easily be used as a teakettle, seeing as its sole function is to heat water. Half of you are saying “Duh!” but I know the other half is saying “Holy Crap!” Until recently, I was in the latter half and now I bestow this simple wisdom upon you all!
Big day of comics tomorrow, folks! I’m hittin’ the hay!
