And speaking of marriage, I've started playing in hard mode on Guitar Hero III last night -- hang on, I'll explain the connection in just a sec. I'm finding hard mode to be... well, freaking hard, almost like learning to play the game all over again. Right now my strategy of "fling my pinky and mash the left side of my hand in the general direction of the damn orange key and hope it lands" doesn't seem to be working out very well.
So, I've been going through each song slowly in practice mode trying to habituate myself. Last night's training focused on Poison's Talk Dirty To Me -- and, as a result of playing before bed last night, I ended up dreaming that I was on Rock of Love and Bret Michaels ended up choosing me, and I was dating him. I recall thinking, "He's not young anymore, but that's okay."
