Vacation time...

The Hubby has been granted something like five days off in a row, and in a bid to get us the hell out of the house, I lobbied for a trip to Portland, OR.

Looks like we're going. The dog has a reservation at the local kennel, we have a hotel and car booked, and we've made plans for the zoo (duh), the aviation museum, Tillamook, a river cruise, Powell's, and Fry's Electronics.

The weather, it appears, is going to be perfect--and about 20 degrees cooler than here. BONUS.

I have no idea how internet access will be or if I'll even do anything more than check my mail and collapse into a puddle of goo.

YAY.

Any of my flisties live there?

I LOVE MY BRAIN.

Uh-huh. My less-than-badass game designer?

Yeah, take a guess as to what kind of games he designs. Go on. He told me, JUST NOW.

As he points out so eloquently, there's different kinds of geeks.

There's the geeks who design things like, I dunno, Tetris and Text Twist.

And then there's the geeks who design first-person shooters. You know, the kind of geek who enjoys blowing shit up and going out to the range and firing all kinds of different weapons, checking for verisimilitude.

I now have to decide if this all goes to shit for everyone, or if we all back down and get to live.

Is it a Romance, or a Tragedy?
