The Epic Journey

It all started with this.  M and I went to our friend E’s dorm to have some tea and play some PS2.  It was there that we were first introduced to The Prince and The King of the Cosmos.  In time, we finished the game and yearned for more.  This is a fantastic addiction.

Today M decides to check up on Katamari.  See how the franchise as progressed.  Zomg.  There is a PS3 version.  Zomg.  I must play this game.  TONIGHT.

The journey began quite simply.  Find a Target.  Found it.  No Katamari Forever.  Decide to check out the GameStop in the same shopping center.  For shame… they have sold out.  “Fear not”, the lady in the peacoat tells us.  “There is another GameStop which carries the game which you seek.  It is in Franklin Farms.  Go there and find your precious!”

Off we went.  Down Centreville road until we spy the Franklin Farms subdivision.  It must be close!  We continue down the road until we find a shopping center.  Alas, it was not the right one.  We continue on down the road until we reach Reston.  We have almost found it!  We search high and low for the Franklin Farms GameStop!  It is not there!  What do you mean it’s not there?

Its ok.  We will continue on to the mall.  Make a right, and then another right on the parkway.  On and on we go until we, again, spot the Franklin Farms subdivision!  A shopping center!  WE MUST HAVE FOUND IT!

BEHOLD!  The promised GameStop!  WE ARE THERE!  We obtain the awesome game from the awesome random dude and his awesome tiny Asian sidekick.  The only thing keeping us from this game is his obsession with his iPhone and our Mastercard which will only accept a payment through debit.  Crisis averted!

We have found our game.  We have traveled back home.  We will now consume.

See everyone on Monday.
