The ones I dislike are the kinds that swallow time. The interactive, first-person-shooter, go on an adventure like Indiana Jones through an ancient tomb, become a soldier without actually going to war, drive rice burners through the streets of L.A. types. They're all-consuming and when one is playing them, the walls could crumble down around them and they'd just step over the rubble and continue into the next room looking for the zombies or soldiers or whatever the hell they're shooting at.
Yesterday Ed's phone rang but he was busy and didn't answer it. Then my phone rang - same number - so I answered it. It was our accountant.
She said she had just tried to call Ed but it went to voicemail. I said, "Oh, I know. He's right here but he was in the middle of something important and couldn't reach the phone in time. Let me put him on the line." He was sitting literally two feet from me.
The important thing he was in the middle of?
Playing a fucking video game.
That's right, people. I covered for my 15-year-old-in-a-39-year-old-body boyfriend.
I know, I rock.
