hesperornisThe last few days have been fun. We had a party last night for our two resident protestants at the Catholic Center who have recently decided to convert. I'm pretty sure that Scott's doing it for his girlfriend, but Josh Copper has been hanging out at the Center for years, apparently, asking questions the whole time, and no-one thought he was _actually_ going to convert. But by golly, the other night he announced that he was ready to take the leap, and Fr. Fred said that he'd go ahead and waive the RCIA requirements because Copper already knows more about Catholicism than most Catholics. So come Easter Saturday, we won't have any resident protestants anymore. :-)
Of course, this being the Campus Center, the party consisted of the ravenous devouring of five pizzas and a few dozen cupcakes by twenty-odd people, along with a viewing of "Spaceballs" and much general goofiness.
Ooooh, and I almost forgot about the Atari. Hee. Laura brought her very old Atari to the Campus Center, Scott fixed it up, and now we can play Frogger and Ms. Pac-Man on the giant screen in the lounge. I feel vaguely deprived that this console was not part of my childhood. Now that I've gotten into a couple of 3-D games, the Atari is just so... retro. And extremely cool. Apparently it doesn't get any better than a few pixels and a simple objective that just keeps getting harder and harder to accomplish.
On the subject of games and gaming... After all the excitement and hype about KotOR II, I'm sorely disappointed. Chris played through it first, so I already know how it ends, and the ending _sucks_. It's painfully obvious the game was rushed out for Christmas. I had a game started, but I actually got bored and stopped. I don't see much point in killing sixty hours on something that won't even give me a decent ending to the story. Oh well. Just shows how much of a gamer I'm _not_... I think Scott's been through it twice already, despite his poor opinion of the ending. I don't think Chris will play it again for awhile, though. He was disappointed too, and anyway, he's a little OCD about making sure he sees _everything_ the first time around. Plus, the game is buggy. Painfully so. Hopefully they'll put out a patch or something soon.
