Extended leave...
Jun. 7th, 2004 08:32 amWell, I haven't posted in a while, so I thought that I'd take a few minutes to catch people up on what's been going on with me.
Hm... Where to start. It'll devolve into politics eventually, and I'm not going to take a long time with it, so I'll get it out of the way quickly. I'm tired of the presidential campaign. I have been for the last few months already. I'm just waiting for November to roll around. I don't think that Kerry is the best choice that we've got, but I think that he's a hell of a lot better than Bush. I'm just afraid of what Bush will do with a second term, if he gets it. As for Reagan dying, I'm not paying attention. That way I don't have to hear about all the ways he was one of our best presidents, even better than Nixon. I know you're supposed to say nice things about people after they're dead, but twisting what they did so that you can pretend that it was noble and honorable more than is necessary.
Home life... Things are there. Better in some ways, no worse in others. Still working on things. Still talking.
Work... Has been busy. Part of the reason that I haven't been posting much. Not generally a lot of time to post during the day, and not enough energy when I get home at night.
Money... We're working on it. Still behind, but trying hard to catch up.
Social life... We've seen more movies in the last week than we've seen in the last couple of months. Unfortunately, one of them was a waste of my two hours (Troy), one of them wasn't as good as I'd hoped (Shreck 2), which leaves the one entertaining film that I've seen this week as Harry Potter & the Prisoner of Azkhaban. Unfortunately, the books are getting longer, and while the movies are too, they keep having to cut more stuff out. There were some things that were implied but never really well covered, that felt like they'd missed the final cut. But it was still entertaining.
And speaking of entertaining, thanks to my brother-in-law, a truly generous fellow, Alyse and I have gotten a beta account for Worlds of Warcraft. I've been playing a fair amount, and in my opinion, it blows the hell out of Everquest. Better gameplay, better graphics (more cartoony, but still better) and just overall better written. But that's Blizzard for you. They don't come out with the newest innovative games, but they put out the best of the rest.
I'm going to try and start posting a little more regularly. No promises, though.
