JFK and the Weekend

2004-11-23|12:28 a.m.

So let's begin by talking about the worst idea of the moment. (Bad ideas happen so frequently, I am sure something will replace this very soon.) The link is to a CNN article about a new video game, JFK Reloaded, which allows players to simulate the assassination of President John F. Kennedy.

The article mentions that the creator of the game has nothing but respect for Kennedy and for history. As proof, the game was released on the 41st anniversary of the assassination.

The article also mentions that the creators of the game do not believe in the conspiracy theory - and that Lee Harvey Oswald was the only gunman. I'd imagine this is why the game gives you points for shooting Kennedy in the right spots and in the right sequence, and takes away points of you do things like shoot first lady Jacqueline Kennedy. Cool! I hope I get the high score!

As an added incentive, if I am able to shoot JFK just like Oswald, I can win up to $100,000 in prize money! Sweet! Get me a rifle so I can practice!

I just hope no one takes my idea for a video game before I am able to produce it... See, you are a Nazi guard in a concentration camp in WWII Germany...

I managed to pick up a cold or something over the weekend... It all started on Friday night when I went to a party at a coworker's house. They have a cat, and I am allergic to cats... The sinuses started acting up there.

Then on Saturday, I went to the last UC (University of Cincinnati - I am an alum of this fine institution.) It seemed warm when I got out of the car, so I left my coat there. Big. Fucking. Mistake. I froze my ass off.

Starting on Sunday, I felt like total crap... Work sucked today as a result.

Friday was fun, but it is obvious my idea of a good party has changed over the years... At the party, we watched the UC basketball game, played cards, and watched and made fun of the news ... and I had a good time doing it. Not what my good idea of a party was ten years ago ... or even five years ago... I must be growing up or something...

I am going to cut this entry short -- for I need to get a good night of sleep... Yeah - I just typed that. I really am growing up... Sigh...
