How I learned to stop worrying and just play arcade games. January 9, 2008 ~ 10:55 am
Posted by Julie in : Politically Incorrect, Random Insanity , trackbackLori and I fell into the trap known as Dave & Buster’s last night. There is one in Times Square, and we’d been meaning to go forever. Last night we finally got our acts together and went. And anyplace that lets me play Skee-Ball while drinking beer? That’s my idea of heaven. We’re planning a return trip as soon as possible, this time just to play arcade games and drink. Because while the food was excellent, if we eat at Lori’s before we go there we can afford more games. And that means we can win more tickets. And that, my friends, that means that we can redeem the tickets for more cheap crap like the stuffed animals we got last night. We all know I need more cheap crap at my house.
Last night’s New Hampshire returns were a bit disheartening until I realized this morning that despite the 3% difference in popular vote, Barack and Hillary got the same amount of delegates out of it. As Rick keeps telling me, it’s only one primary. I don’t hate Hillary, but I think her time on Capitol Hill has affected her - she’s had to change her stance a bit in order to get places with the good ol’ boys on the Hill (like her vision of a health care program, and the war, and…well, we’ll leave it at that). If in the end, she is the Democratic candidate, I’ll vote for her because I fear all the Republican candidates. But that doesn’t mean I won’t be pulling for an Obama/Edwards ticket until the very last minute. And since New York is going to be voting on Tsunami Tuesday with half the states in the union, I’ll actually get to voice my opinion before it’s all decided for once.
Until then, though, you’ll find me at Dave & Buster’s. With a beer in one hand and a skee-ball in the other.

Man. I am so jealous! We see ads for Dave & Busters all the time, but there isn’t actually one near us. It really is manna from heaven, isn’t it?
Ah, beer and arcade games. It doesn’t get any better does it? BTW, I sent you a Mii of John circa The Miracle.
I was surprised by last nights results but quite pleased that the pollsters got it so wrong. I never much liked all this polling at election time, almost as if the news and/or pollsters are telling you who to vote for. And how do you get a representative sample of the opinions of millions by polling 1000 people?
I’m still conflicted and haven’t made a choice.
I’ve only eaten at D&B once - here, GameWorks is much more convenient - but do remember the food as being quite heavenly.
