Surprisingly, I did not have any plans this past Saturday. My entire day was free, or so I thought. "So I thought" is the key word. It turns out, I had quality father-daughters time on Saturday as Karen went to my niece's (Kaleigh) hockey game.
Normally, I enjoy spending quality time with my two year old (Briana) and my nine month old (Bridget). As far as quality time goes, Saturday probably was not one of my more favorite times.
In what could probably only happen to someone like me, my nine month old incapacitated me for probably a good minute or two. Luckily, nothing happened during that time period to my daughters other than my writhing around in extreme pain.
Bridget has recently discovered eyeglasses. She's quick to swipe them off my face. Normally, I don't think anything of it when she grabs my glasses off of my face. And like a ninja, she did just that on Saturday. At the same time, she somehow managed to get the earpiece of the eyeglasses caught in my ear during her ninja move, which then actually proceeded to enter my ear and stab me.
Needless to say, it was quite painful. In fact, as of today, my ear still feels like it's going to explode at times. I suppose the good news is that there is no blood and I can still hear.
Anyway, to make the day better, I decided to indulge myself and play a video game in the wee hours of night when everyone was fast asleep. That video game: Resident Evil 5, which I have yet to finish. Too bad I suck at video games. My skills are definitely a bit rusty since I haven't played a video game in ages.
Suffice to say, the video game about killing zombies made my day.

I Suck At G4TV's Top 100 Games
This week felt like a long week.
On Thursday, Karen, my two year old daughter (Briana), my three month old daughter (Bridget), and I hung out with my friends (Marc, Kelley, and Andrea). It was our usual weekly get together. Although truth be told, we haven't been meeting regularly every week for some time.
Marc and Kelley hosted on Thursday, so we were able to see their new place. They recently purchased a condo in Quincy at the end of last month. So it was good to get the tour of the new place. The place is quite nice. And as Karen pointed out, their place is easily accessible from the highway, which is great if you are like me and don't like to drive through the city of red lights known as Quincy.
Anyway, it was good to hang out for a little while. Like most events these days, I drew the parenting straw. So I got to watch Bridget and Briana while Marc, Andrea and Karen went for some ice cream at Frozen Freddie's. It's just as well that I did not go. I think my love of Kimball Farms in Westford has ruined all other ice cream places for me.
Regardless, one of the more interesting things that came up during the night, aside from hearing how my BFF (Kerry) was in awe during her first comic book store experience, was G4TV's Top 100 Video Games of All Time. Now, I suck at G4TV's Top 100 Games. Sadly, we couldn't watch the entire countdown that night.
Watching the countdown, however, got my geek on. I remember playing so many of the games in that countdown. Fun times! I'm not sure what my own personal countdown would be, but I know that Resident Evil 4 would be in the top ten easily. That and most likely Grand Theft Auto 3 because it was so groundbreaking at the time. Those were the days!
Speaking of the G4 countdown, Scott Porter was on the show. Man, he looks different. For anyone curious, Scott Porter played Jason Street from Friday Night Lights. He was "6".
All in all, it was good to see everyone. And it was fun to reminisce about video games. And who knew, Andrea was a video gamer of sorts with her Dr. Mario game.
