Trends, my friends.<\/p>\n

In the past SharkBoy has greeted the anniversary of the first day of existence with fun gadgets that fill up our empty relationship (holy crap I am so kidding…):<\/p>\n

One year I got a PSP and a marriage proposal.<\/p>\n

Last year was the iPhone (amen) and a Wii (bless me).<\/p>\n

This year? A 50″ plasma TV<\/a>. Okay I am paying for half but it’s a welcome purchase\/gift none the less. Xbox will not be disappointing. <\/p>\n

I guess next year will be our own satellite if we were to keep with\/outdo the electronics theme.<\/p>\n

Tonight, while going off to BestBuy to buy it bestly, we stopped in at Funland to check to see if they were really closing on Friday night, my actual birthday<\/a>. Nope. They were closing this evening. Thankfully we took the time to check. We chatted with the change guy (He was actually smoking inside at the booth – what were they going to do? Shut him down?) and then pushed my way through the small crowd to the back where the ancient games were kept. SharkBoy was a bit skeeved at the lighting and a few sketchy patrons but was reverent with my memories.<\/p>\n

\"VR<\/a>

VR Helmet Ted<\/p><\/div>Ghosts of my past. The arcade was full of hyper active Asian kids playing Dance Dance Revolution at speeds that made me physically frightened for the integrity of their ankles. I really wish the iPhone did video. Really not much different than when I use to go there – just using a different appendage to slap the buttons.<\/p>\n

The one game we decided to play “stole” $2 from us. <\/p>\n

Bye Funland! I’ll think of you often when I see dead technology.<\/p>\n

Now we wait for the delivery truck. I am so going to get a catheter for Sunday!<\/p>\n
