stop fooling your man and roll with the one
Who’s breaking you off
Well it seems that spring has arrived in Minnesota. Weather in the mid-upper 50s for a few days in row, most of the snow is gone unless it was in the 12 foot high piles. The roads are still too sloppy for me to really want to take the bike out but its getting there, slowly but surely. Actually not really slowly since it snowed like a week ago. With any luck this will continue and we will be full on into spring in another week or so. God I love springtime even if I haven’t really done a great job of taking advantage of our nice weather yet. Soon enough that will happen though.
Fallout 3 has almost lost its hold over me. I have taken so long in between advancing the main story line that I am actually finding myself mostly indifferent to completing the game at this point. Although it doesn’t help that I have almost completely run out out of things to do that aren’t the main quest. All of the achievements I have left will be completed as I progress the main story since I know the final bobblehead is in Raven Rock and I am sure I will encounter at least 3 more computers to hack between 87 and Raven Rock. There are no other achievements in the game other then the story or Karma ones left to me. I find it very interesting at this point that I preferred the achievement hunting to the game itself. Although I guess it makes sense since the primary story is ok and the sandbox parts are whats great. I will still probably finish it within a few days just to finish it off but I feel a lot less driven then I used to.
Really looking forward to my vacation coming up in … 9 days or so. Still have no exact idea what I am going to be doing other then for the first night when I am headed to the bar. Heard tell that I might end up going out on the second night for free bacon as well but honestly I doubt that. I do suspect I will be having Bloody Marys at least once though. Speaking of going out, went out Friday with a buddy I haven’t seen since Christmas. Always great to see him and get cheap ass beer. We also ran into a mutual friend’s ex, that was a little strange. Not bad, just odd.
So in the current throws of the economic crisis I am doing like everybody else and trying to spend less money. Its actually surprising how well it goes for the most part. There have been a few bumps here and there but that’s mostly due to “Oh crap, I need to buy a gift” type situations rather then “Wow I feel lazy, lets go out to eat” situations. Its a great change to see just how less money I am spending.
Still absolutely in love with my T|X. Seems I am using it more often then my actual computers. More often then my MP3 player recently as well. Its really interesting to see just how much love it gets and with good reason. Amazingly functional device. I might someday replace it with an iPod touch but right now that doesn’t jive that well with the whole save money idea and wile it would be nifty its not an urgent thing to me at this point. The other thing that I am surprising myself with lately is twitter. Its a retarded thing but I am finding myself actually enjoying it. Dear god, I am one of those people now!
I love seeing the location in this video since its in one of my favorite parks to go for a walk in. Need to make it back there sometime soon, see whats going on there now. Maybe use my new camera there and see what the world exposes me to this time.
