This Is Framingham

I think it was somewhat recently this store, Game Universe, opened on Route 9. I read about it somewhere because otherwise I’d never have known about it.
The store front doesn’t really stand out but it’s next to EO Noodle, then you go down stairs to the basement and there are games set up like a video store. 
There’s a section further back with large flat screens for pre-teen/teen kids to play the more modern games.  And they have a follow-the-dancestep game that I am never brave enough to try.  No classic arcade games there : (

They sell all sorts of video game cartridges and since I recently acquired a free Atari 2600 I figured I’d check out any classics they have.  Sure enough they had my all time favorite, Pitfall- in the box!

The box wasn’t in great condition but it wasn’t any more expensive than Pitfall without the box, plus it came with the original pamphlet so for $5 that was a great deal. 
I also got Frogger for $5 too.

My only wish was that they played up the whole basement location and made it look like someone’s basement with fake wood paneling and late70’s plaid sofas or something as kind of an “homage” to the era of when home video games were born. 
Also, they have their offices and warehouse in downtown and I wish they had opened their store in downtown to bring a fun business there but what can you do.

I love this place, they have everything you could want for your aquarium needs.  I bought a turtle there years ago but they have since stopped selling reptiles. kobe ivexterm   It’s a really great place just to go and look around though even if you don’t have a fish tank.  There is always a team of people maintaining all the tanks and in the past I have found the employees to really know their stuff.
They used to have sea horses, I didn’t see any on this visit but they had amazing saltwater fish, including starfish. ivermectin and demodex


And I leanred that some fish like zucchini!

 Its easy to forget with all the heat we’ve had lately that plants are getting ready for the fall – or maybe our shrub is just dying but I think it does this every fall. 

My email isn’t working, I’m not sure what it is but it may be related to what happened the other day. I’m trying to figure it out.
So if you’ve written and I haaven’t responded yet, that’t why.
Sorry, hopefully it’ll be straightened out soon.

I wanted to like this place, and I guess it’s ok but they don’t really have anything I want. Just cookies that look old and what looks to be an interesting deli counter although I’m not a big deli person.  I did get some lox there once, which was really good but is randomly available, When I asked them if they had whitefish salad the lady behind the counter didn’t know what I was talking about.  They also have beer and vodka and chocolate and a bunch of other stuff.

They don’t acknowledge you or seem to want you in there if you don’t speak Russian got the Skazka out of there.  I’ve actually stood in front of the door pondering if I should go in there again but so far I haven’t made it back inside.

Unfortunately someone hacked the server for the blog and I won’t get into the whole ordeal of getting everything back but I lost my last few posts including “pizza quest: Francos”. 
I’ll try to repost about Francos but for now I’ll just re-cap our trip to Pepperoncini’s.

We were lured in by the $5 pizza on Tuesdays and Sundays.
I haven’t been in here since it was the red star pub, which was kind
of a dive (but I like dives) and this place is more family friendly, which is fine too.
We started off with the boneless buffalo wings which were really good because they were crunchy.
The sauce was really good, I was surprised they had such good wings. dosis de ivermectina para escabiosis
We also split a ridiculous looking drink for 2 that made me glad we walked there.
Then comes the pizza. I think “ok” is the most accurate description I can give. 
Itsmelled just like Papa Gino’s and tasted very similar.  I think  for a large is a decent deal though, we couldn’t finish it and took it home. ivermectin cream   We found the suspicious looking pizza chef on the box an interesting choice for a box cover though.

I’m guessing this mural just rakes in the sales at Stardust Diamonds.  I thought they would take it down after DeBeers stopped using their eerie silhouette ads in the mid-90’s but here we are in 2006 and there’s no sign of it getting painted over.
I know if I were younger I’d definitely have nightmares about this wall.  There’s something about these phantom-like shadows with giant, senselessly floating jewelry that’s disturbing to me.

The whole wall is weird but the one that would definitely give me nightmares is the weird twisted-torso bald-alien-lady hugging herself behind a hovering ring.  I’ve though too much about how that’s supposed to be appealing.  It’s like a riddle with no answer!
