jackofallgeeksSo, 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.

Date: 2004-11-30 05:50 am (UTC)By now, I've played SH3 so many times that I've caught fallacies in the strategy guide. So if you ever hit any walls or want any pointers, I'm only a phone call away.
Also, y'know, if you ever wanna
listen to me geek out until your head explodes and you never want to hear the words "Silent Hill" ever, ever againtalk about the storyline in the game, I'm game. ^.^
