Butter It's Not!

The Family Ghost practiced today and it went pretty well. We jammed on some new things we came up with at the spur of the moment and they were pretty good. I had some dual synth action going on. Jacques brought by an extra copy of Romano Rizzati & Alessandro Blonksteiner / Fabio Frizzi: House by the Cemetery / Manhattan Baby sounds tracks on cd for me. I got my other Criterion dvd in the mail today: Antonio Gaudí. Mary Beth and I hung out and had dinner with Ryan at the Deli. It was a ruben party. Hadn't eaten at the Deli in forever, it was still really good. Then Mary Beth went with me to Best Buy to wait for the midnight launch of the Wii U (notice it's not midnight yet). Well, we get there while the store's still open. I ask around to find out how it all works. We kill some time in the store, then it closes and we go outside to wait. A little after 10 this guy comes to let us wait inside and give us the paper certificate or whatever he has for the units. Well, they don't have any more black (deluxe), just the white ones. I think they had one so the first guy in line got it. There were only a couple people in front of us. I mean, when we GOT there, there wasn't a line outside. I was considering going out and waiting but it seemed weird with the store open and I didn't know how it was working. A couple people started the line while we were still inside at the store. Ugh, but only one. So when I realized I wouldn't get what I wanted (not spending hundreds of dollars for the one I don't want) I turned back around. So, no fucking Wii U tonight. Grr. I think they're setting it up to try to make people "have" to buy the crappy one they don't want. Anyway. I'm gonna try something like Sears tomorrow. We'll see. At least Mary Beth was a dear to wait it out with me. And at least they didn't make us wait til midnight. I forgot to mention in my last post about teaching with a nosebleed. I got a nosebleed during first period while passing out quizzes. So I'm trying to administer and watch the kids while I'm tilting my head back and holding my nose and all that. Yeah. Well anyway.
