I love pinball. I don't love it for the motion of the flippers or the bouncing of the ball, I love it because they can create such deep story lines with such impossible goals. For example, if you are running a Windows XP machine, check out the 3D pinball game that came with Windows. There are 9 ranks you 'can' achieve. Each one being more and more impossible to reach. Check out the help file for the game...you can click on the various bumpers and targets and see what they do. But that's only the first dimension of the game. After hitting certain targets, you accept missions, which require you to hit this target and that target before sending the ball up a certain ramp or into a certain sink-hole. On second thought, you might want to not check out the game or the help file. If you begin to understand what's going on in the game, you may become as addicted as I. Its incredible. I love pinball.

I got a call from my Alex in Russia yesterday. That was pretty exciting.

I got contacts on Friday. I came home with my glasses on and told my mom I got contacts. She immediately goes, "Oh, that's nice. Can I see them?" So I took off my glasses.
