Congregated with other Kirtleys in Connecticut for the holidays yesterday. They had Dance Dance Revolution Extreme Remix 3 set up, and I was instantly addicted, as it combines two of my favorite activities — video games and really, really bad dancing. I know DDR has been around for a long time, and I’d sort of heard of it, but I’d never really seen it or played it until yesterday, as I mostly swore off videogames a few years back in the name of ever actually accomplishing something. Anyway, I grooved for about five straight hours to songs like “Come With Me” and “Imperfection.”
This morning my leg muscles were so sore I could barely walk up stairs, but I couldn’t stop playing until sharp pains in my shins finally drove me off the dance floor (well, pad). Actually, Public Service Announcement: Eating several pounds of shrimp and then playing five straight hours of Dance Dance Revolution is not the best preparation for Christmas dinner.
