The Good, the Bad and the Badly Written
I can't decide if today has been a really bad day or a really good day. I guess it's possible that the good experiences cancel out the bad, turning it into a mediocre day. I'll let you decide.
First, the bad. I had to hang around in Ayr instead of going home after school since I needed to wait for my sister to come out of art club. Since we had to take a friend of hers home afterwards, this meant I didn't get home from school till half past five. Once I did get home, we got a phone call from my Dad – he had broken down. In the car that he just got less than two weeks ago. So Mum had to go and get him and they both had to wait around for a tow truck. Then they had to wait for a bigger tow truck.
That took a little under three hours, during which my sister and I had no dinner. Eventually my brother, coming home from archery practice, got us a McDonalds and we ate that. Normally, that'd be a good thing, but I didn't like the chips and one of the McNuggets tasted kind of weird, so I'm putting that under bad.
Then the good. While I was in Ayr, I managed to get in to GAME and Gamestation where I got the latest Retro Gamer and managed to pre-order various upcoming games. I also got Dragon Quest, one of the games I bought my PS2 to play, in GAME. For 98 pence. I picked up a £12.45 copy off the shelf but they had a different one behind the counter that had been reduced to 98p for some reason, so I jut got that instead. That's definitely going on my big list of “best game bargains ever”.
And... you know, I think that might be the only good thing about today? Still, it's a damned good thing. The last bad thing though, is that all this (getting home late and eating even later) has thrown off my timing and left me with too much to do and no time to do it in. I know I said I was going to write about something specific yesterday, but these were most definitely unforeseen circumstances and every promise I make has a silent clause about those.
So that's all for today, ladies and gents. I have to go edit some audio stuff, maybe some video stuff and possibly even do my homework stuff. All before getting some sleep stuff.
The amount I talk about sleep in these things should really make me realise just how close I'm cutting it with this “one post a day” thing.
