Okay, I am Officially Beyond Hope
Because do you know what I did last night?
Of course you don't, because you don't know where I live--and if you do know, and were hiding in the shrubbery, I would prefer that you didn't mention it, because that's just creepy.
But I digress from my main point, which is this:
I have become another lost couch potato with a rotting brain.
How? Well, it's simple. I actually stayed up past midnight last night to watch the Championship Gaming Series. On television. Yes, I sat in my chair and watched other people playing video games ON TELEVISION.
And I was actually invested in whether or not Mystik would beat Pheonix in their epic Dead or Alive battle.
I do not own Dead or Alive. I do not own the console the game was being played on. I do not know these people from Adam. And yet, on a Monday night in July in the year 2008, I sat on my butt in a chair and watched random chicks play a video game.
Weep for me.

If you were a guy, I'd ask what the chicks were wearing before agreeing.
But really, how is that different from watching a chess match or a poker game?
Sounds like you're in good tuberous company:
