On Saturday, I went to my mother’s house to collect some of my old things and visit.
Unlike when I moved to Chicago, moving to my mother’s was very spontaneous and unplanned. I had found an IT job in Downer’s Grove (suburb west of Chicago) by sheer luck, and I needed to start right away. I packed as much crap as I could into the back of my car, threw away a lot of stuff I didn’t need, and left. Of the stuff I DID bring, about half found its way into the attic and was forgotten. So it was strange to go through them and find things I forgot I ever owned:
Various Statues of Dragons - I knew I had those, but never realized just how damn many.
A copy of Suikoden III - Remember when I went NUTS looking for another copy? Yeah, I had one in the house the whole time.
Microfibre Eyeglass Cloth - Score.
Two Playstation 2 Controllers - And here I went and bought replacements.
Two Gamecube Controllers - Brings the total up to four, awesome.
A Tin of Creme Savers - Five year-old candy that’s been sitting in the attic? You bet I’ll have some!
Gladiator Cow - It was given to me by Kyle or Jeff (Sorry guys, I REALLY can’t remember), which is a cow in gladiatorial armor. Not a minotaur or hominid cow, no. A moo-cow in armor. Which now rests in its place of honor on top of my bookcase.
Ninetendo Entertainment System and three controllers - Classic, still has the little crack in the corner where it fell after I kicked the dresser after losing a game of Punch-Out.
Six Daggers - I have no idea where to put these darn things.
A copy of Tsuganai: Atonement - I was in the middle of playing this game when I moved and forgot about it entirely. It is testament to how my life hit a brick wall and stopped when I moved.
After all that, I get home and spend a little bit of time playing Castlevania: Symphony of the Night (the best one), and go to sleep. In the morning, Zai gets a call from me on her cell phone. Only its not me, its my mother, and my cell phone is at her house.
Doh.
So I take another trip out there to pick it up. While I was out there, we had lunch, and I nearly forgot my phone at the restaurant.
Oh, and today, forgot my security card for work, so I had to knock on our door like a yutz.
At least I didn’t forget to write about it.
Zel-kun out.

Wow, it just hasn’t been your week to remember things, has it? =P
On the plus side, lunch at Tai San is ALWAYS a good thing!
