Obligatory Update
I don’t have entirely too much to report on, and I know it’s been a while since I updated, but to be honest, nothing really all that exciting is going on. I’ve started managing my finances using MSMoney, which is actually a pretty cool program. It’s very thorough. November was video game purchase month apparently, with all sorts of big highly anticipated titles releasing. I bought Neverwinter Nights 2, Final Fantasy XII and Guitar Hero 2, which still leaves me needing to get a Wii, Twilight Princess, Okami, Gears of War and Final Fantasy III DS. That’s all within the last month. Damn the game industry and its holiday releases. Speaking of releases, Cars for the XBox 360, a game developed by my studio and my team (though I got onto the team right at the tail end, so I didn’t have much to do with it) also released, to decent reviews and numbers. THQ has announced that’s it’s making a sequel to the Cars title this coming year. Mmmhmm. I wonder who could be doing that…
Almost all plans have been made now for my Christmas trip to Florida. I have my ticket and I have Hank set up to be boarded. He got his immunizations last week. This whole trip is costing me a small fortune and on top of that, was unable to get a rental car. It was going to cost $500 dollars for 5 days. Intolerable. So all and all...I’m going to put the number at $1000 bucks so far for this trip. Good stuff. Oh yeah and I’ve only bought 1 presant so far. So much for “managing the finances.”
Jeremy came to visit me last week after Thanksgiving, a holiday which I spent at my ex-lead’s house with his family. It was good, the food was terrific, but ya know...it wasn’t my family so there was definitely something lacking to th experience. But then Jeremy showed up and he brought his Nintendo Wii with him and we played Zelda and Neverwinter 2 almost the entire weekend. There was a brief stop where we went to his friend Nipa’s surprise birthday party at Buca di Beppo. That was also fun. I also gave Jeremy my fishtank. I’m done with fish.
I’m still going to the gym, still trying to reach my 12% body fat goal (its at...um… 14.5-16% right now depending on what time of day I measure).
That’s it I guess. ‘Till next time.
