Well, I bopped over to Sears and ended up with
one of these thanks to all of you who recommended Casio. (They put it in a Timex box after I bought it, which I'm sure would make both Casio and Timex very happy.)
I also had a chance to traipse around the mall unimpeded by children. (Or, I should say, unimpeded by my OWN children.) As always, an interesting experience, leading to fascinating observations.
- I usually consider myself fairly nerdy, but I had to re-evaluate in the face of the 10 or so guys playing Warhammer in the comic book store.
- I also note that Spencer's Gifts, that emporium of all things of good taste, is selling plug-in video games of Space Invaders right next to plug-in video games of Jenna Jameson Strip Poker.
- Victoria's Secret is running a sale and they placed the banners so that they covered up almost all of the mannequins, leading me to wonder if they have had complaints.
- While in Gamestop I checked out a demo PSP and was fairly impressed with the graphics, sound, etc. However I managed to win the fight (it was some kind of street fighting game that I didn't even see the name of) just by pushing buttons more or less at random, so that doesn't seem to speak well for that particular game.
- Good pool tables still cost more money than I can afford and take up up more space than I can spare. For some reason, it always comes as a surprise to [re-]learn this.
- Dairy Queen has apparently teamed up with Orange Julius.
