Bummer

Last Wednesday, Brian subscribed to this online video game rental thing called Gamefly. Pick whatever video game title you want and they will ship it to you in 2 days (read: 2 days daw). Pretty much like Netflix for video games.

Anyways, so since that Wednesday night, I have been waiting for these two video games we rented. Brian got the Fantastic 4 game while I got the Crash Twinsanity game. I know it might sound too juvenile, but I am a huge Crash Bandicoot fan.

We expected the game to arrive either Friday or Saturday. Since it STILL was not in the mailbox last Saturday, I expected it to arrive today. I pretty much planned my whole Monday and I have reserved the whole afternoon to playing Crash Bandicoot. I did the laundry this morning. I even handwashed all the handwashables so I will have the whole afternoon free from chores. :)

At about 12 noon, I ran to the lobby to check the mailbox. Surprise, surprise, I caught the mailman distributing mail to all the mailboxes in the lobby. Yes! I almost ran an hugged him in joy. "Hi! Do you have mail for 412C? If you do, I could take them so you don't have to drop them there." I said, with a huge grin on my face. Then he said he think he does but they're in the pile so I have to wait a few minutes.

I grabbed a copy of the news ads to kill time. A few minutes after, I finally got the mail! It's here! I almost ran upstairs and started to open the Gamefly mail. There was only one envelope so I figured they must've place both games inside.

Bummer! The Crash Bandicoot game was not there! Rats! I was soooooo disappointed. Brian came home to have lunch and I can't erase the gloomy expression on my face. I know it's just a crummy video game but I felt like a child who didn't receive his favorite toy on his birthday when he was promised one.

Yes Gamefly, you said two friggin days!!!!! It has been 5 days and one of the video games is still not here. Sigh.

I decided to cheer myself up by buying siomai/potstickers at this Thai place just around the block. I was already calling the restaurant to order those potstickers when I noticed on their flyer that they are closed on Mondays. Bummer again!

Two whammies in one day! No Crash Bandicoot video game, no siomai either????? I can't believe this. No game, and no food to console me either. Dang, I knew I should've bought those chocolates last night. :)

I hope the game will arrive tomorrow. This is what I hate about myself. When I have set my mind on doing something and it doesn't happen, I drown in disappointment. No matter how big or small it is.

I guess today is a chore day afterall. I might as well clean around and do something more productive this afternoon. :)
