Jeremy had the afternoon off yesterday due to the holiday. He told me earlier in the day that if I wanted to take some time for myself, just let him know. Ok, sounded cool to me. About 4:00-ish, I knocked on his cave door. He opened in with a gruff, "What?"
"Um, I thought you had the afternoon off," I said.
"Well, I got a call," he said.
Yes, he was on the phone, most likely with a work issue, but I did notice on his big screen TV that he was playing a video game -- Batman: Arkham City, I later learned. I got nauseous just watching it for a few seconds.
An hour or so later, he came out of his cave.
"I think I got sick from lunch today. I'm really nauseous. No more salmon burgers for me," he said.
"Do you think it was your lunch or that video game you are playing? That thing made me sick just looking at it for thirty seconds," I said.
"Maybe, I'm going to go lay down now. Hopefully, I'll feel better."
Great, our evening was officially shot.
Later on, I woke up and noticed that he had gotten up. He was back at the game.
"Are you feeling better?" I asked.
"Yes, I decided to put on a seasickness patch. It really helped."
Only a man would find a video game so interesting that it deemed putting on a prescription seasickness patch.
She writes this as if it were any game, it was BAC- the number one game of 2011 (KZ calls it the scary game- but she isn't allowed to watch it).
