Golf
My friend Dave, the one last heard from in Germany (Army; I worry) says he loves golf.
What he does, you see, is he shows his appreciation for the sport in the following way: he takes a golf ball with him to the shooting range, and proceeds to blow the hell out of it.
I appreciate Dave so much.
In any case, Darkside's father has decided that for Family Time, he and Darkside will do golf on Sunday mornings. (Darkside is not happy with this.) Sunday mornings was when I was to have my Paranoia game, but if Darkside's not there, this provides me with no real reason to GM. Tonight, I called to say hi to Darkside, and as he came to the phone, I heard his dad say in the background, "Call her back."
"Hi," Darkside said glumly.
"What's up?" I asked.
"Golf," he said, sounding darker than usual, and not in one of the humorous ways.
"I'm sorry."
"Talk to you tomorrow in school," he said, and that was it.
I was hoping for a conversation; we didn't get much of a chance to actually talk today. Something interesting came up in Visual Basic, and I'd been hoping for a chance to giggle about it over the phone with him. We are to write programs for a final project, and the single person project is a coin flip program. I had thought up a cheat option -- you see, occasionally Sis amuses herself by guessing which side the coin will land on, and she has a rather high success rate.
My planned cheat: depending on which variation of her name she enters into the "player name" category, to give her either 100% or near accuracy, or the same rate of failure. It would either amuse her or freak her -- that's why I'd have to be standing by to explain it when she started to get that look on her face.
But it would be funny as hell.
