They being Pac-Man and Richard Marx.
Actually, my mother grabbed me first after school. School was simple. We did evaluations in History 1100 and I had a test in Psych 1101. I'll find out the Psych test grade tomorrow. Then I went with my mother to the bank, where I rested in the car as she took care of business, to lunch, and then CVS to buy cards - greeting cards for her and baseball cards for me. I didn't get any cards featuring Marcus Giles nor Barry Zito. 
Maybe next time. 
Once I got home, I got on the computer and saw a memo on the Richard Marx board about Shaun Vincent of Mix 107.7 in Dayton, OH having a copy of the new Richard Marx album, My Own Best Enemy, and was going to play his favorite track off the album. Wow, two new Richard Marx songs within a week span! This song was a ballad by the name of "Ready To Fly." Beautiful song. It could describe me! However, I hope it's not released at all or released as a later single. I love 
Richard's music but many people see him as BALLADMAN! To the uniformed, one Richard Marx ballad is the same as the next. The Average Joe doesn't know he can do a wide range of music. During the time prior to "Ready To Fly" airing on WMMX and a bit afterwards, I chatted with a few friends from the Richard Marx board. I also posted to the Richard Marx digest. In fact, in my last post, I referred to myself as a "Goldie Oldie." I know, I'm only 25-years-old but in Internet time, I'm an old person on that digest.
After getting my fill of Richard at the moment, I went into the living room and started playing Pac-Attack and some other Pac-Mans. Matthew was interested in playing, so we played two-player games of Galaxian, Ms. Pac-Man, and Pac-Attack, a Tetris Attack style Pac-Man. I think Matthew enjoyed Pac-Attack the most. He remarked we would be playing until he could beat me. My mother over heard our conversation about ghost dumping in the game. She remarked she hates getting "trashed" while playing Dr. Mario. I told her Pac-Attack is not for her!
Finally, before replying some more to the Richard Marx digest and typing up this entry, I exchange my mother's TV from the one she took from Beth's room to the one Nicki had at her apartment. Slowly, Nicki and Meroko are assimilating back into this household. See, I just used another Psych term!
Later Gators!

That song was so f'ing AWESOME! I am dancing on air right now - like you said, TWO new marxy songs in one week! *thud* I love that DJ! *lol*
I also love PacMan... I didn't know that it was available for Gamecube - I'll have to buy that. I was an Atari kid too. :-)
BTW, it's so nice to see pictures here again. ;-) Stupid firewall. *lol*
Posted by: Lynn at April 27, 2004 10:42 PMI hope "Ready To Fly" does see the light of day in some capacity. It's far too good of a song not too. Maybe as a later single, like you said, or maybe on that movie soundtrack which I think it deserves 
. As much as I hate Richard being seen as "balladman", it does seem to garner him more attention than anything, and I'd really love to see this album be as successful (if not more so) than the priors in his "hey day" of '87-'94.
As for Pac-Man and the like. LOVE IT! Puzzle games are my fave, like Dr. Mario, Pac-Man, Tetris, ect. Fantastic! And with JR being the video game collector, we have a functional Atari 2600 where i can play Pac-Man and a nintendo for me to play Dr. Mario.
Now and Forever,
Liz
I musta missed something somewhere... When did Nicki decide to move back in? I thought she had her own apartment with a room mate?
Posted by: Dragon at April 28, 2004 1:52 AMSomewhat off topic: Uniformed? I'm pretty sure you meant "uninformed" but for a moment there I was very confused and thought you meant that UPS delivery guys, the police, and military people didn't understand Richard Marx's music--which isn't saying that it's not true, but that was just an odd image.
Posted by: sya at April 28, 2004 8:39 AMLynn, sorry about that all. I hate banning legimate users to stop the theives. 
As for the game, it's called Namcomuseum.
Liz, I have the Activision games on a CD-Rom I got a few years ago. It has 30 Activision games, including Pitfall and River Raid. Along with the Namcomuseum, we have a way for playing the classic Atari games. There was a computer version of the classic Atari games I saw at my sister's work that I'd like to have. It had this one game I remember my father enjoy playing that was too complicated for Nicki or me to play. And actually, my father wish he could find a working Atari 2600 system.
Trish, she moved in about a month ago. BIG MESS with one of her roommates. Talk to me via messager to get all the info.
And Sya, you know I can't spell! I meant uninformed people, not uniformed people. However, I'm surprised Misbah hasn't spoken up about that. I guess it was an Freudian slip about this joke Misbah tried to post last week on the Marx board that went over like a lead balloon. It dealt with police officers and Richard Marx's music. I am not laughing at you, I'm just laughing at the time of it all.
