This Evening: Pitfall!
>>> I’m not sure if we’re in the opening shots what could technically be called another heatwave or not; what I do know is that I have that last-week-of-high-school feeling that just makes me wanna pretend like I paying attention to the goings-on around me while, in reality, my brain — everyone’s brain — is melting and in that melting, it’s just going from one totally boss Steve Miller Band tune to another, swinging from vine to vine like that old video game “Pitfall.” In fact, if you opened up my brain right now, all you’d see is that dude at right, jumping over logs, swinging on vines, falling into tarpits made of resin. It is for this reason that, over the Old 97s at the Troc and Wolf Parade at the Electric Factory and Make A Rising at Johnny Brenda’s and whatever else, forces beyond my control say that going to Rock Tits DJ night at the P.O.P.E is the right-now move. It just is.
I’m sorry, was I saying something?

Stay cool, climb down the ladder and run the tunnels. The scorpion is not your friend.
What the hell was Pitfall Harry running for anyway?

I used to take photos of my Activision high scores.
You could send them in for a patch. Or a prize.
I never followed through on the sending.

It would have been a better choice then the vapid party I went to for the Philly Best of Magazine.

Could you even win Pitfall? I remember eventually running out of time and just freezing where ever I was (mid-fall, swing, jump, whatever). It was, however, better than playing Night Driver (http://www.inecom.com/index.php?option=com_seyret&task=videodirectlink&id=267&Itemid=53)
