babe britney's hubby seen with ex-girlfriend!

never feeling inspired to load up on my dial-up connection at home and being lucky to get 10 minute customer-less stretches, as opposed to a year ago hour long ones, i just never end up writing anything and when i do, it's in such a rush (or, ironically - or is it expectedly - like right now, i get interrupted in the middle of sentences) that i can't have any fun while writing. so it's fallen out of favor.

but anyway, i have grand theft auto san andreas, but i only play it when anthony comes over. it's common for us to make a 6 hour day out of it. so here's a taste of how variable and unpredictable the game is.

i come out of an ammunation one day and start jogging up a hill in san fiero (san francisco) to grab a car when i hear all kinds of explosions behind me. i figured a cop had gotten into a shoot-out with some gang member and that the gunfire must have blown up a car and started a chain-reaction of other cars blowing up. but when i raced down to get into the action, there sat the charred wreckage of an airplane in the middle of the street.

you'll notice airplanes flying around above you fairly often, but this was my first experience with one crashing down into the street while i was around. well, i think i saw this happen at least once more before the event i'm about to relay took place.

so, anthony's on a mission on a large cargo boat and just slips by what we thought was the final opposition with almost no health left. to our dismay, our character is told to go to the front of the boat where (we're shown a cut-scene) some ninja swinging around a samurai sword is awaiting our challenge. anthony looks around for some health or armor pickups, but none are found. so he climbs these crates - back to where he started - and before he climbs down the other side, he looks up and we can see a red marker over the samurai-guy up in the cab? of the ship. all of the sudden, from out of the dark starry sky, a giant airplane barrels down and explodes directly into the mission's final boss, killing him and earning us mission-ending rewards. anthony and i told ourselves that that was definitely not supposed to happen and that the plane crashing into the guy was just rediculously dumb-luck coincidence, but i could hardly actually believe that. so i went to gamefaqs.com and looked up the mission to see if there was anything about a plane crash killing some boss. here's what i found:

    They will tell you to go kill Snakehead on the bridge.  Make your way back
to and up the hole you came down, and head over the boxes you haven't been
over yet.  There are a
few guys left - one in the doorway to the bridge area, and two more in the
stairwell.  When you reach the bridge, Snakehead tosses you a sword.  Lock
on with L1, and hit Circle.  If your muscles are still hign, you should
take him out with a swing or two.  Once he's out of the way, make your way
back to the hole in the deck, and head towards the refugees standing
near the railing.  They will lower all of you into boats, and this mission
is done. (LINK)
