Too bad it wasn't as fun as it sounds. But I did beat all the games at Annihilation Nation(Ratchet and Clank: Up Your Arsenal)
And for the record, the boots were in case the "palmetto bug" decided to run out across my feet(ewww) or if it ran across the room I could step on it(double ewww). And I am allergic to the bug spray, that's why I didn't go up to bed. And, I did laundry for about three hours while I played R&C. Just wanted to set the record straight.
Oh, I had to laugh at this little combo from this and your last post: "We keep getting ads in our mailbox declaring that 'Life is too short to clean your own home.' We have taken their advice and stopped cleaning our home," and, "9:34pm Lecture on housecleaning met with icy stares."
*grin* DAW, I hope you remembered this at the right moment!
