So I'm going into Chicago for a full week starting on Monday... it's really the last "big" city in the country that I have not visited (I've been to Boston, San Francisco, Los Angeles, New York City, Houston, and Miami). I don't even think I've ever flown through there...

Anyways I'm going to a week-long training class at my company's headquarters in Merillville, IN which is 20-30 miles from the city... and I'm anticipating to freeze my ass off.

Other than that my parents are coming to Texas for a big family get-together down in Uvalde so hopefully I can get either Thanksgiving or that corresponding Friday/Saturday off as we're also going to be shooting some Buck while we're down there.

Katherine just got a new job that is located in Alice, TX (around 125 miles from here). She has been gone 2 weeks in a row and possibly for a month or two more before she can start telecommuting into work and she's possibly flying into Houston tomorrow to take care of some business there. She is working in the oil industry (with a parts company that supplies very costly valves and such used for drilling) so please, buy as much of that $3/gallon gas as you can, we'd like to move into a bigger apartment next year. (just kidding)

Is it excessive that in the past 2 months I have purchased:
-Heavenly Sword (PS3)
-Halo 3 (360)
-Call of Duty 4 (360)
-Metroid Prime 3 (Wii)
-Guitar Hero 3 (360)
-Half-Life 2: Orange Box (360)
-Manhunt 2 (PS2)

... and I still really want to get Super Mario Galaxy, Assassin's Creed, and Rock Band before the end of the year?

Really have curbed my DVD spending though... in the last 2 months I have probably bought 2 or 3 DVDs. Blu Ray and HD-DVD are the future (moreso Blu Ray, but I still can play both formats) and I just can't stand looking at anything less than 1080i on my projector.

I'd highly suggest anyone with an HDTV to get a taste of one of these formats as HD-DVD players have dropped down to anywhere from $199.xx to even $99.xx in some places.
