Grand Theft Auto

If you're not married to a wellspring of video game news, the new Grand Theft Auto came out today. I can't tell you if it's any good or not, because I don't really play games like that... but as an observer of one... It's pretty impressive.

By impressive, I mean when it comes to all the mundane details... Like the people randomly walking down the street or jogging in the park... the street lamps... the fact that you can go to the bowling alley and actually bowl, and the music playing is the sort of the stuff that you'd hear when you'd walk into a bowling alley... the radio stations in the car complete with realistically fake ads... I heard there are full television shows that you can watch too. It's all strangely realistic... and I keep finding myself wandering in the other room to watch him play the darn game.

I tried to leave this on the ikea post but keep getting denied (no post new comment option). At any rate, when it comes to furniture like this, my husband and I take turns being the cranky three year old. Generally, it depends on which one of us is wielding the tools. I much prefer buying furniture that comes pre-assembled when finances allow us to!
