It’s been quite a day with Danyale today. We started out going to the Celtic Fox for lunch, which has some damn good Ruben’s I might add. Then we went to the Kansas Statehouse, to try to tour the dome, but found the last tour for the day had already taken place. We ended up staying around for an hour or so going on another tour of the general history of the statehouse, and it was pretty damn impressive. After all this, we tried to go to the zoo, but unfortunately it was closed.
Somehow after that we ended up all the mall, and ended up getting wax castings done of our hands. Mine, in typical Kennedy fashion, is making quite a lewd gesture; while hers is holding a blue rose, while signing “I Love You” in American Sign Language. They’re very cool, and I’m surprised at how cheap the damn things were. The dead head hippie chick that took the castings was quite fun too. I guess I’ll have to check out Third World again sometime, even though I’m sure last time I went there to deliver, they didn’t give me an acceptable tip.
But the surprise for the day is Danyale playing World of Warcraft. She rolled a warrior a few days ago, and played for a few hours before she had to go. The first thing she did today when we got home, is log on to my account, and play her character. I wanted to watch a movie, and in fact had Titanic in mind, but watching her play and be happy is enough entertainment for me. She’s been going at it for a good four hours now, and is still camped in front of my computer.
It’s even more entertaining when she dies, she gets kind of mad, and starts heading back to get her corpse. I remember when I first started playing games like these, and I would get almost to the point where I’d want to hit walls, and shatter keyboards when I died. Those were much younger times, and over the last few years, I’ve got a lot better about those things. Danyale doesn’t have that problem, and it seems that she’s really enjoying zoning out and just playing around in a fantasy world. Perhaps she needs a little bit of fantasy play to make her feel a little better. I remember there was a time where I needed such things myself, and I was about her age when I needed them.
