So I had been bugging my wife to let us buy Guitar Hero for a while. Some friends of ours have Rock Band and Guitar Hero. After we visited them the other night, we ended up getting in an argument about money and household responsibilities. We're still paying back people for our wedding and reception and our house needs to be cleaner. However, my love of video games and rock and roll music made me desire Guitar Hero since the first time I played it. So last night the wife asked me if I would go with her to Target to pick up a few things, I said sure.
As we were walking past the Wii section, I didn't slow down. I didn't want to torture myself, but she headed over to it. She looked down at Guitar Hero and then looked at me with that look in her eye.
"Well... it is on sale."
"Are you sure? Don't mess with me."
It should be noted that in the kitchen business, when your co-worker tells you to leave early and that they'll do the cleanup, etiquette demands that you ask them "Are you sure?" at least once. You can do this while running out the door, over your shoulder, not waiting for any response or you can stand there and ask a few times. The idea being that you're giving them one last chance to change their mind without penalty.
She was sure and we got the clerk to get it out for us.
Unfortunately, I have a paper due next Tuesday that will require a fair amount of effort on my part. Having Guitar Hero sitting in the living room doesn't make it any easier to work on it.
I can't wait until Tuesday afternoon.
