Along Came a Spider...
Nov. 28th, 2004 06:43 pmSo, I haven't updated in a while. I haven 't had a REAL post in even longer.
Thanksgiving's been fun. Lots of family time, though Christina had to work a lot, and I didn't get to see much of her. We did go see 'The Polar Express', which I thought was a really well-done story, and I liked it a lot. Some things to think about in that one... I love my family, though.
I also got some toys, though I'm having second thoughts about it all. Firstly, I got a Laptop; something I can carry home with me on trips like this, and maybe something to get me out of my Dorm now and again. It's got built-in wireless connectivity, which means I can get online almost anywhere with him. I also picked up some accessories for him, specifically a USB mini-mouse (I don't like touchpads much) and a 512MB USB key. He's also only 5.5lbs! He doesn't seem to have quite the gaming power that my Desktop has, but I suppose that keeps her place rather secure.
As far as games go, I piched up Vampire: Bloodlines and Silent Hill 3. Bloodlines it a pretty cool game -- seems to be a standard-type role-playing game, more along the lines of Arcanum than Morrowind. But good, and very atmospheric. It gets down-right creepy sometimes. I haven't played Silent Hill 3, and I'm actually not that good at puzzle-survival games. At that, though, I really liked Silent Hill 2, and Leslie's a huge fan, and at $9.99, I couldn't pass it up. So we'll see how it goes.
A friend mentioned the other day that I must be addicted to City of Heroes because I post about it more than I do about Suzannah. Really, though, I post more about the game than the girl because I understand the game. I know the rules... I hurt, and I despaire, but I don't really feel like going into it that much, not hear at least. I don't want to have to defend her, or my feelings for her, and I'm afraid that's how it would end up. I guess, in general, I just feel like ignoring it for a while, as it seems my biggest trouble is obsessing over it...
Very likely, I'll be 3,000 miles away from here next fall. I haven't really decided what I think of that, in this context.
I had something more to say, but I can't think of what it was. Hope all is well.
