Posting...
I have not had as much time lately to post what is going on, so here is a quick post for the last week. :)
I started doing the National Novel Writing Month thing, but it is going so slow. I have not had enough time to really dig into this, so I am just going to do what I can and not really worry about the 50,000 words you are supposed to have by the end of the month. Oh well, at least it got me starting to write again.
The Dresden Files playtest is going to end at the end of this month. So, I am going to try to squeeze at least one or two more sessions out of my group and see what else we can accomplish with the current rules set.
We bought a second controller for my ps3 yesterday and I spent a good portion of the day playing Little Big Planet with my girlfriend. She was just so excited that I was playing something with her. Not to mention, in some levels you have two players to get certain prizes for the game...to be able to finish the level at 100%. It was totally worth it just to see how excited Natalie was to get those things. She is so damn cute and I love her so much.
I have been at my new job for a little over a month now and things are going well. It is nice to have a job and not have to worry about money in this crazy financial mess our country is in right now. Thank god Obama is our next president! Praise all the heavens! :)
I have recently read Ysabel by Gabriel Gavriel Kay. It was a very good modern fantasy with a historic twist. I will try to write up a review for it soon. I also read The Lies of Locke Lamora for my book club (although I had read it once before). It was a fun look at a group of thieves trying to pull off the scam of a lifetime and stay alive while doing it. If you like a book of revenge, you will love this. Currently I am reading Academ's Fury by Jim Butcher. Book 2 of the Codex Alera. I really love this series and the next took comes out in a few weeks.
Am still addicted to Oblivion for the Ps3. Although I did start over (after having played it for 110 hours....yes, Natalie thinks I am crazy too). I do love the game though. I did just pick up another game as well. Valkryia Chronicles. A different take on strategy games that is very, very hard.
The anniversary party for our sci-fi/fantasy book club will be on Dec 6th. It is the fourth year and going strong. I can only hope that in six years we are looking at our ten year annivesary. That would be awesome.
Ok, that is enough for now.
