Good thing I go by "Chris" because I couldn't fit "Christopher" on there. I lost count of how much mail I got addressed to "Christophe". I also made a change to the game. I put in a brief pause between deaths. That took a few hours to do because I couldn't figure out how to make the food stop. But I eventually did.

I got my R-Zone Super Screen. It does take batteries. But it takes 4 D batteries, something I wasn't expecting. The batteries that were already in there had an expiration date of 2001. I'm very surprised that they weren't corroded. So I had to order some batteries on eBay. Even if it turns out this doesn't work, there was a copy of Battle Arena Toshinden in the cartridge slot so at least I got that.

And I have an appointment Monday to go get an ultrasound. We have to be there by 7 a.m. They said I couldn't eat OR DRINK anything for 8 hours before the thing, so I bet I will be awful thirsty when it's done.
