the scene: both still in bed. no words have yet been spoken, but we’re both kind of awake (alarm has gone off a few times).
me: i have to tell you something
james: mmmm.
me: it’s important.
james: ok. tell me.
me: it’s big news. you need to open your eyes for this.
james opens his eyes.
james looks at me.
james: you’re fired?
me: no.
james: Susie is fired?
me: yes. but that’s not the big news.
james: you’re pregnant?
me: no.
james: you need to pee?
me: yes. but that’s not big news.
james: You–
me: let me just tell you.
james: ok. tell me.
me: I have gotten. Past.
james starts to get that knowing look in his eyes.
me: The pretzel. Level.
james grins.
me: In Ms. Pacman.

me: This is huge.
james: Wow.
me: THAT’S NOT ALL!
james: there’s more?
me: THERE’S MORE!

james is stunned into silence.

Very nice! and way to go on the pretzel level!
Yet, if I try and tell her “Oh, I ding’d lvl 62 last night!” or “We downed Ragnaros for the first time last night!” she just plain tunes me out.
On the other hand, now she wants a MAME cabinet… so that’s cool.
Just because yes, this is my addiction and very proud achievement we’re talking about here, I would like to clarify that I got PAST the pretzel level, to the APPLE level.
Because you know, the pretzel level, pshaw, no problem. I’m an appler, now, baby.
Nice! I dig it!
