So Gene’s devotedly playing Fallout 3 on his XBox. I have no idea what game is about except that Gene is very proud not to have eaten any corpses (???), but I do know that the soundtrack is very limited and VERY maddening. It’s a fairly endless loop of “Anything Goes” and other old songs that I don’t know the names of but will guess they are called “I’m in Love” and “I Don’t Want to Set the World on Fire.” There’s another song that reminds me of one of the old Christmas songs on the Muzak at work right now – I woke up this morning with that song in my head
(Hey, no complaining – I made it to December 21 before even mentioning the work Xmas Muzak… it’s a record!)
Other goings-on: The box with Xmas gifts for my family in Indiana was sent out Friday minus the present for my very beloved Aunt Lyn as her present had not yet arrived, despite it being very small, easy to mail, and having been ordered an entire week prior (yeah, I know it’s Xmas, but it’s a ::shh:: gift card, not a mountain bike). Even though this one thing was missing, Compulsive Elaine just HAD to get the box out of her house.
I got home from the shipping store and the mail had been delivered and…wouldn’t you know it? So has Aunt Lyn’s present. Grrr. I am a terrible niece – I’m just going to mail it to her home and she won’t get it on time. (Yes, I could mail it to Mom’s house, where she’s spending the holiday, but what if it gets there after Aunt Lyn goes back to Illinois?).
