Me am happier than ever… besides the birth of the children, getting married, blah blah blah… the game I love most of all is coming to life again, this time on Nintendo DS. Looks like I’ll be getting me a DS for Christmas. Guess I won’t be jealous of my brother-in-law anymore, who just got one for his birthday. Once this game comes out I will have one, no question about it.
Chrono Trigger must be mine!
PS: Saw Wall-E tonight… such a great movie. Choked me up more than once.

Not long ago my main character in Guild Wars, Satine the Necromancer, had no titles… and I hadn’t really even bothered with it. Then I noticed how close I was to getting the Protector of Tyria title, and I decided to give it a go. Now I’m all about the titles… well at least the ones I think are accomplish-able.
I have to say the Cartographer title has been the biggest pain so far. I wouldn’t have even bothered if I hadn’t come across a texture replacement utility that makes it easier to see what parts of the map haven’t been explored yet. I’ll move on to mapping the other two continents once I’m done capping elite skills.
I’ve got all the Elonian elites and am almost done with Prophesies. Next will come the elites from Factions, which I already have quite a few of… but the biggies (Assassin and Ritualist) have barely been touched. It is so much fun capping, because you get a feeling of accomplishment checking another item off the list.
Granted I’m fully aware that all my time spent on this game is like working in a factory that produces products that will never be sold. One day the game servers will be turned off and what will I have to show for the time lost. Still it serves as a nice distraction to throw my excess energy or frustrations at, which keeps me happy productive member of my family. Better I’m playing this game once everyone’s asleep that getting into trouble somewhere, right?
Well with the new kid about to come into our world demanding feedings and diaper changes… the game is going on backseat duty. I bet I’ll squeeze in some time though… probably when I should be taking a nap. Crazy time, here we come!
The daughter of one of my best-est friends in the whole wide world came for a quick visit yesterday. Honestly I had completely forgotten when they were going to visit. I knew they where coming, but when was just a vague tickle in the back of my brain.
I’m glad I answered my cellphone, since I don’t alway answer numbers I don’t recognize. The last time I saw Lily, she wasn’t all that much bigger that Katie. She’s a darling young lady now, and looks just like her Mom did way back when.
Lily was quite impressed with Katie’s smartness, calling her “quite advanced”. Katie was rattling off the ABC song most of the time and counted her numbers up to around 7. For an almost 2 year old, I guess that’s pretty good.
The next time we see Lily and her Grandma Marion will probably be in October 2009, and I can’t wait!

This little piece using quotes from Bruce Lee caught my eye today. Just some general life tips and such. The part I liked best was when the author wrote this:
It just means that you realize – and remember in your everyday life – that the thoughts and emotions are just things flowing through you.
You are not them though.
You are the consciousness observing them.
Cool, no?
From digg:
Besides being an awesome fighter and iconic figure Bruce Lee also had some very useful things to say about life.
