Still Hairy
Tonight I went to visit my mother at “the home” but there’s more to that story that I’ll tell you about another night.
After that I also went to get my hair cut since it’s been over 5 weeks and I usually need a haircut by 3-1/2 weeks. So I went to the cheap place that I’ve been going to ever since my previous unemployment and the woman was on vacation… two weeks’ vacation.
You’d think they could call their clients when they’re going away and say, “hey! need a haircut? I’m going away for weeks and you’re already due!” But, no, they don’t do that and so with two other haircut people working, I said, “ok, how long for a haircut?”
Well the woman I was talking to was busy doing someone else, and the other woman who was there said that she was going on break when she finished what she was doing.
So I thought, obviously, nobody needs the money and I said, “ok, forget it” and walked out. I’m not gonna beg for someone to give me a haircut and I’m not gonna wait for an hour for one either, so I left.
Right beside that though was EB Games who were having a 2 for $20 and 2 for $30 and 2 for $40 sale, so we walked in there.
Wouldn’t you know that none of the PC games were on sale. But what I did find was a new episode for Half Life 2. I would have found that out if I ever turned the game on anymore, but I don’t. I’m finished the game and I hardly ever turn it on now.
Remember when I was so obsessed with Half Life 2? What was that, two years ago when it first came out? I was playing it every stinking night. I didn’t look to see if something was on TV – who cared?
Apparently Steam is coming out with all these individual episodes for Half Life 2 (instead of paying $60 or $70 for the game, you’ll just pay $20 each time to own the episodes). That’ll probably cost a fortune – why else do it that way?
So now I’m off to install my new episode and half a lifetime of Half Life fun awaiting me. Or at least a week’s worth.

is the new 30. I want the world to close their mouths when they’re eating or chewing gum. If they don’t, I want to elbow them in the face.
If it’s Half-Life 2 Episode One you talk of (I think Episodes 2 and 3 are in the making), I’m afraid you may have only a couple of day’s worth awaiting — that’s what I’ve heard. Hopefully, though, the reviews that say there’s way to little to play have been written by no-life gamers. I’m still waiting for its price to drop (I don’t want to buy it from Steam).
The reviews do say it’s amazing despite the brevity.
