57 here---
Wow, I haven't been in Ohio for more than a month, but I've been without a few things I used to do so much back in California. I guess the saying is true, we don't appreciate things until we don't have them anymore. I guess what I'm writing here is like one of those "I hate...." videos (That have become so popular lately), but I'm not saying what I hate (that'll come later) I'm saying what I miss back in CA.
Good Asian Food.
Being on the west coast, Asia was right there across the pacific, so many Asian immigrants came to CA, bringing with them some really good food. Growing up across the bay from San Francisco, I grew up eating good Asian food. Then I go to the midwest. I've had some Sushi out here, but it really, really isn't good; there's also a Chinese restaurant here, but I'm scared to try it. Having a bit of a higher standard for Asian food, there's: A) not many places to get Asian food. B) the food that is here isn't really good.
Gaming.
Without my 360 here, well, I can't really participate in much console gaming. I have Star Craft 2 on my laptop, but it generally doesn't hold my interest for more than an hour, so it doesn't do me that much good. Not to mention that there are a few good games coming out soon that I rather want and a few that have come out already that would be pointless to buy without my 360. I used to just easily go up to my town's main street, go into game stop, pick up what I want and leave. That simple.
A Good game of 40k
I can easily say that I really love 40k. I enjoyed the game, the people I played with, the modeling, painting and conversions. I haven't played or painted or done anything like that for almost a month. I really miss it. I miss playing my wolves, assaults, shooting, battle missions, all of it. I still follow what GW is doing, by the way: DARK ELDAR CONFIRMED!!!! I HAVE SEEN AND I BELIEVE!!!! But anyway, I still follow what's going on, but I still really, really want to play. This was and is my hobby, and I can't do it anymore right now, which really bothers me. Maybe soon I could get a game in, but we will see what we see. We will see.
Hello Laddy,
ReplyDeleteI don't think you're giving the mid-west enough credit. Maybe I don't know "really good Asian food" but I KNOW there has to be a better variety outside of Delaware, OH. Try Columbus some time! I'm sure it has something at least a LITTLE BIT better. (There was also a Vietnamese cook-out last week, keep a heads up on those. Or try making some Asian friends!)
40k. I don't know too much about it other than that my boyfriend has played it. Are you aware that there is now going to be a gaming club? It looks like it'll deal primarily with board games, so 40k could be a good candidate! You should go to one of their meetings (or just the "game night" in the Welch cafeteria on the weekends). You could find some 40k fans, make some 40k fans, or even try to start your own 40k club.
Better luck adjusting to the mid-west!
