NOVEMBER 9TH HAS ARRIVED!!!!

Now, there are some of you who will know the why of the all caps and the not three but four exclamation marks. Yes, it is a day I have long awaited.

Today Halo 2 is being released.

I already know one person who stood in line at 10:30 last night waiting for midnight and the official beginning of this day to get his copy. One of my co-workers brought donuts in to celebrate. We have plans to take a long lunch in an attempt to secure our copy before they all sell out across the city. (Fingers crossed).

Geeking out, ah yes. I did have one moment of hesitation this morning:

JQ - Guess what today is!
JB - Uh, I don't know.
JQ - No, guess!
JB - Tuesday?
JQ - You're not even trying!
JB - Er (vainly searching memory for some random "anniversary" event)...
JQ - It's November...
JB - Ninth?
JQ - YES???
JB - Right. (no clue)
JQ - AND???
JB - (dawning) ... Halo 2?
JQ - YES!!!
JB - Oh (you are insane). Are you ready to go to work?

I'm officially a bigger geek than my husband.

Hm.
