Infinity Ward Put the MODERN in Call of Duty

This is probably the geekiest I have ever been and I am LOVING it!

Dan and I left last night around 10:45pm to stand in line at Best Buy for our copies of Modern Warfare 2: Call of Duty. Yes, copies. I got my Christmas present early, my very own XBOX 360.

Dan and are capable of sharing, but seriously, would we want to share this game? Hell no. I don't care if I get coal for Christmas, I am set. This is what I really wanted and Dan made fun of me hardcore about wanting my own XBOX but that's a part of who I am now and I like playing online with him at the same time along with our friends.

This was my first midnight release and I have been waiting over a year for it. I was buzzing all day since my alarm went off, sans coffee. I think I talked to almost everyone about the game.

At Best Buy, we met up with Dan's friend Peter who was way awesome and didn't mind how obnoxious off the wall I was being so he's cool. We were 15 in line and by the time Best Buy opened up, there were at least 200 people behind us.

We got posters, game covers (I don't know why they giving away game covers. Mine stay in the game case and are never touched.) and we got free monster energy shots. Pshh.. like I need them. Trust me, I've got enough adrenaline to stay awake. Well almost.

As soon as we pulled up the apartment, Dan was in the house before I could get out the car. He's fast.

So far, it's pretty awesome and way intense. There was a ton going on so I know I'll like getting to know all the ins and outs.

So far, I don't like how they didn't implement the awesome-ness from Activision's World At War like lobby leaderboards, the blue X button to skip maps, and leaving a lobby with your group. I have yet to play hardcore mode yet to see if you teamkill three times if you get kicked. I really hope so, because that shit ruined the first game.

I played a little bit of the campaign mode before heading into school and it's pretty fun so far. I got lost into the moment. In the beginning there's a scene where your the gunner on a tank and all of a sudden the militia starts attacking you from nowhere. You are on narrow streets and the tank is hauling ass and you don't know where to point your mounted gun but you're getting fired all around and RPG's (rocket propelled grenades) are exploding on you. Blood is all over the screen and you heartbeat is racing. Did I mention I was playing on recruit? This is my first time actually wanting to play campaign mode and so far, I really like it. It is absolutely beautiful and I can't wait for more!

Time to go to class. I skipped the first class so I guess I better go to at least one of them, right? :D

Dinner ideas?

Since I've been working evenings, I've been slacking on the dinner front. I'll usually make a sandwich or something quick to bring to work but usually I leave Dan to fend for himself. Well he's a little tired of eating ramen and mac-n-cheese. I guess it's time for me to help out a bit.

The problem is that I don't know what to buy him at the grocery store that he'll make for himself. I can buy him frozen pizzas like he requested but he can't eat them 5 days of the week. The other days when I am home, I don't feel like cooking, I'm tired. How in the world does the "modern women" do it all? I don't even have kids yet! How do you do it?

I just cleaned up my office and I am flipping through my recipes to inspire me. The problem is, I don't have TIME to cook so this means Dan will have to cook or I have to resort to buying pre-packaged, processed food that is ready to eat. All this week I work from 4-8. It's only 4 hours but talk about inconvenient timing!

So what do you do? Please help a girl out!
