Another Installment of ""The Internet Is Really Really Great"

[bloodyrosemccoy]

Happy New Year, everyone!

I spent New Year’s Eve sitting on the floor in the living room, messing with my Nook and listening to Dad discovering internet comments:

“This guy left the apostrophe out of ‘don’t’!”

“He spelled T-H-E-R-E for T-H-E-I-R!”

“This guy must have a lot of time to kill if he sits around writing abusive reviews of every single app!”

Meanwhile Mom had discovered Pointless Stupid Internet Games,* and spent quite a while gazing intently at her screen muttering about catching that crafty mouse. (This is the same person who felt that Zelda games had no positive qualities to recommend them.)

The future is here, my friends! Glorious technology is all around us!

I’m going back to Donkey Kong.


*I can’t really call them Flash games anymore, since iPads don’t do Flash. App games?

Sounds kinda like my Christmas, except it was me listening to my mom, dad, and aunt figure out how to work a Wii. :B

Heh, I just learned today that I can legitimately blow off N00bs with "even my Grandmother knows to check Google first when she runs into something she doesn't recognize." She's 87 and has some of the basics down better than many of the "Internet Generation" ;)

"The Internet Is Really Really Great"
FOR PORN.

Sorry, I couldn't help myself. Avenue Q is...well, it's Avenue Q and it gets ingrained in your brain, doesn't it?

My mother, who on occasion voices the opinion that computer and video games are pointless and should not exist, has started playing Angry Birds frequently.

Oh, parents.
