The creeps and car thieves seem to be hibernating, at least in my neighborhood. There's not a lot of construction going on, so work is slow. I've played through Borderlands twice - thanks Cameron! - and I think everyone's tired of hearing the soundtrack. So. Native Northeasterners, or anyone else - what do you do to stave off the crazy in the

You are welcome. I am glad you enjoyed your Christmas presents.

[hecho_en_ca_usa]

Yeah, good picks. You should come over sometime and play. I say that even though I'm sure you're a way better shot than me.

[mobius_bound]

Shooting with a firearm is very different than shooting with an Xbox or PlayStation controller.

[hecho_en_ca_usa]

Hn, I wasn't even thinking about real guns when I said that. I just figured you'd be...more precise at whatever. I've seen you bowl. but, um. I'll cling to that slim hope then.

[onlyfive]

The 'that doesn't involve frostbite' almost got me.

I don't know though, I've always liked movie nights. Grab some people you like, some movies you like too, and have a thing. If someone's movie collection sucks, rentals are okay but libraries tend to have some good stuff and that's free.

[hecho_en_ca_usa]

Not a bad idea. Kind of want to get out of the apartment though.
I need some sunlight or something, but that bumps into the 'on a budget.'

[onlyfive]

That makes it a little harder. Does bundling up a lot help at all? That totally sounds dumb, but some sun is better than none.

Playing a sport or something comes to mind because you don't really notice the cold while you're doing stuff, but I like running around in the cold like an idiot, so...

[hecho_en_ca_usa]

Hmm. Parka Frisbee Golf. It's got a ring to it.
Do you play a sport? For the running around in the cold hijinks?

Car thieves? D:< If so many criminnals are lurki ng in one spot why has no one reportde them to the police?

[text]

[hecho_en_ca_usa]

It's not one spot, it's all over. We just try to do what we can in our area, like a lot of people I guess.
There are not a lot of cops, they can't be everywhere.

But thsi city has heroes in it. Someone should step up and stop them.

[seemingly only half alert]... I read books. [sound of pages turning]

voice

[hecho_en_ca_usa]

Yeah? Got any recommendations? Special consideration given to things that are awesome.

voice

[origamiguardian]

[genuine puzzlement] How could books not be awesome?

But... [thinks] My favorite book is For Whom the Bell Tolls. And Staircase to the Angel by Nenene Sumiregawa. But um... if you play games... maybe... Snow Crash by Neal Stephenson?

voice

[hecho_en_ca_usa]

I just meant books in which awesome things happen.

Thanks, I'll give Snow Crash a shot. For Whom the Bell Tolls - that's Hemingway, right?

Just us just us?

[hecho_en_ca_usa]

That is what I'm asking.

I mean a group outing wouldn't be crazy but there are logistics issues and I-- you know. Would like to de-City a bit. With you.

private

[bossisawitch]

I need a thorough de-Citying. I mean, it's not like the new year has been super crazy yet, but...

You know. This doesn't sound like such a bad idea. All I request is somewhere warm. We wouldn't have to deal with tickets or flying; Witch Air is 100% free with the right words.

[hecho_en_ca_usa]

That is so exactly what I wanted to hear. I need sunlight.
I'll look for someplace near a beach.
