Strange Conversations: The Marking Edition

Posted 3 September 2009 in by Catriona

That’s the reason for the paucity of updates, you see: marking.

But I haven’t been marking without a break: oh no.

There’s also this (via instant messaging):

ME: Okay, see the thing is . . .
NICK: Jah?
ME: I totally defeated the boss zombie.
NICK: Woo!
ME: I know! And he was in a giant, mechanised suit.
NICK: Excellent.
ME: Like, GIANT.
NICK: Ooooh. Wow.
ME: He kept throwing caravans at me. And squishing my plants. And breathing fireballs. And ice balls.
NICK: Good god.
ME: But I kicked his zombie butt. And then there was a music video. Also, some other zombies were involved in the fight. Was truly epic. But I won.
NICK: Wow. So that’s the end of the game?
ME: Yeah. But there are minigames. And Puzzle Mode. And Survival Mode.
NICK: Cool, though. I’m pleased you defeated the boss!
ME: Yeah! I kicked his zombie butt.
NICK: You rock.

And that (as well as chronicling for the ages my defeat of the giant, mechanised boss zombie) is why Nick is the greatest boyfriend ever.

You’ve just got to love a man who will, for ten minutes, listen to you rant about your defeat of an imaginary, pixellated monster, and interject excited exclamations every time you pause.
