Animal Crossed
This evening, Trevor very excitedly came into our bedroom to let us know that he had created a new town in Animal Crossing. He was very excited.
For those of you who don't know what Animal Crossing is, it is a highly addictive simulation style game (like "The Sims") where you are a small animal-creature thingy and you live in a cute town filled with other animals. You earn money to get larger and larger homes, and make friends with the residents of the town. There are a dizzying array of interesting things to do all the time, the town actually changes with the season, and a million new things to find all the time.
For those of you do know Animal Crossing, you know that there can only be one town at a time, and that Trevor just erased all four of our characters. Everything that we earned, collected, worked on over the last two months is gone. Poof.
As Tara sometimes likes to say about her work for the web team, "All I ever do is move electrons". Well, Trevor just moved all of them.
I guess he did us a favor, because on Monday our prepaid copy of Harvest Moon: A Wonderful Life will be ready for pickup so we will be ready for a new addiction.

You know, most of our friends are going to read this and this is what they'll see:
"Blah blah we're big dorks. Blah blah video game geeks blah. Blah."
Can't you put something in there about kicking people's asses?
