drawgirl dispatch #1

While playing "Moonage Daydream" on Rock Band:

drawgirl: Is this from his Ziggy Stardust period?
me: Well. Given that it's a song about gay alien sex...
drawgirl: Oh yeah.

Rock Band is a game that perfectly understands and embraces the most important parts of having a real rock band: 1) Coming up with vaguely obscene band names, and 2) Buying your rocker new cute clothes. So far our X-Box contains band names like the Bints, Bad Panty, the Barackers (that one was junkyard's idea), the Anatomically Correct Dolls, and V-Jay D-Jay. It's also possible--even likely--that the "character creation" module has seen more use than the actual game play itself. But there are tattoos to place upon your Barbie Doll Rock Star! And like twenty hair-dos!

And yes, we have done other things besides play X-Box since drawgirl got here. We also watched a bunch of TV and played Dungeons and Dragons.
