Its just normal, what you think I balled up a fist for?

So lets kick this off from the beginning I suppose. Last week was primarily quiet, went out a few times, once for work the rest for pleasure but more on that in a few sentences. On Monday at work I decided that it would be fun to beat Gears of War (finally) so I started working through it again and nailed another act or two. Tuesday was similar, with a few breaks for tv and similar activities.

Wednesday I took a break from video games and went out for a goodbye happy hour for my boss. I am really going to miss reporting through him but I still don’t blame him for leaving. After the happy it was home sweet home to take care of some things around here, all good and normal. Oddly around 3 in the morning I woke up and had a very hard time getting back to sleep. Not sure why but that trend did continue the next night although less severely. Sometimes these things happen I guess. So aside from not sleeping well on Thursday night I also beat Gears that night. Overall the game was pretty good and certainly worth the $30 or so I spend on it used. Friday night I went out to Liquor Lyle’s with a buddy, a pretty good time. Didn’t end up getting home until the wee hours and frankly that was great. The rest of the weekend was here and there pretty much, good to recharge my batteries.

Work… well its still work. Tomorrow is the first day without the actual boss so I am not entirely sure whats going to change but I have some ideas and am pretty sure that at least some of the gloom and doom will come true. For me it just means that I need to continue looking for a new job because I quite honestly don’t see the prospects that I used to. That might change and if it does I hope it happens before I find a new job but I won’t expect the changes I want. At least I have this coming Friday off from work even if most people don’t know it. That should give me some real time to recharge my batteries if I actually end up using it that way. Who knows, no plans for it yet.

Speaking of plans, I really should start trying to figure out what I am going to do for thanksgiving. I have an invite to my sister’s place that I don’t think is going to end up happening for various reasons. In the end I might just end up with a nice quiet day here and some takeout or something I guess. Not really bothered by it truth be told, for me the real celebration happens that evening anyway.

So as I mentioned earlier, I beat Gears of War this week. Overall I would rate the game a solid B+ I think, its certainly the best pure third person shooter that I can remember playing but its a pretty empty genre so take that with a grain of salt. It was worth $30 to me and the end boss was certainly difficult. Not sure whether or not I will pick up the second one but I did start in on insane difficulty and its aptly named. I am also interested in Fallout 3, fable 2, left 4 dead, and a slew of other games. I will almost assuredly wait for the moment but I do see at least some of these entering my collection before the end of the year.

Regarding the site, I suspect that I am going to renew it. Might not I suppose but I really doubt it. No real plans in keeping it in place but I don’t think that I am quite ready to let it lapse. I still get something out of it although I can honestly say that I am not always sure what that something is. But I am sure that I will come up with whatever it is. If I do that means that I should really implement a few things I have considered now and again though. Its already outdated might as well clean it up if I keep it.

There are other things going on in my life at the moment but I will be damned if I can think of them to comment. So have a video and its one I am sure that not too many of you have seen.
