Listen, we both said a lot of things that you're going to regret.
So I'm about a hundred years late to this party, but I still want to talk about the mind-melting awesomeness of PORTAL, and how you should play both of these games RIGHT NOW if you like any of the following:
→ snarky homicidal robots
→ singing homicidal robots
→ cute homicidal robots
→ flying through the air with the power of physics
→ puzzles that make you feel like a genius
→ cake
→ science
→ sentient cubes that love you
I swear, these games were MADE FOR ME. And yes, that says a lot about me. But really. Even if you're not the "gaming type" I strongly encourage you to download one or both of them (they can be played on a Mac or PC) if you dig puzzles and strategy and using your brain (and laughing), because they are insufferably brilliant. And no, I'm not done with Portal 2 yet but that's only because I don't want it to be over. :[ GLaDOS is my BFF.
But I suppose I should kick things into gear a bit since Tuesday is L.A. Noire day, and that's pretty much going to take over my life. Although Rockstar has a tough job ahead of themselves getting me to like this Phelps dude as much as John Marston. (Pardon me while I clutch at my heart a bit and remember first meeting John at this time last year.)
Hey, really though. How is it mid-May already? Have I really been living in this state for six whole months? Half a year? What?
It's been a pretty quiet six months for us. We've been slowly getting to know the new people and places around us, and the more we see the more we get the gut feeling that this is going to be a long-term thing. As in, buy a house in a few years. Settle. A big deal for Luke, who's been moving his whole life. A big deal for me, who's never been so far away from "home". But the idea of making a home here sits very well with the both of us. It feels natural. I mean, I found a Hobbit Lane five minutes away from us. HOBBIT LANE, guys. It's only a matter of time before I'm living there.
Really excited for summer, as we're going to have an influx of visitors - people we miss A LOT - and do our share of vacationing. Friends are roadtripping out, family is flying in, we're going up into the mountains for my birthday and our anniversary, and I'm going to finally get some long-term asthma meds so I don't keel over trying to enjoy myself out here. (Seriously dude, asthma + altitude don't mix, wow.)
Just for fun, here's a pic from our Saturday morning outing last weekend. He hunted fish, I read books. (Speaking of which, are any of you on Goodreads? Because I haunt that place more than most social networks these days.) Oh and don't worry, the fish always go back in the water. ;]
