Sorry to get to this over a month late, but I've been busy with school. Web Design took up all my time in June.

I've been basically unemployed for a year now. I got a PT job in a library and doing school, IT stuff. I'm really worried about this coming year. More school, but I still don't know what I'm looking for in a job. I'm getting financial support for this coming year, but after that, I gotta decide. Not fun. I want to get back to work now.

Well, good luck, you seem to know where you're going at least. That's a big plus.

I'm starting to play more social/casual games. I've been wanting to make more gaming friends online now for a while.

Gods of Violence, hell yeah. I can't wait to get my hands on one of their albums. Oh and fire eaters are a good choice in a metal video.

Time to throw on a dress and play some metal. Wait. . . My associations are turned completely upside-down.

I got to play 1 and 2 again sometime. I have them on some collection here somewhere. 3 doesn't have split screen, you have to take turns. I never minded that though because the game is fun to watch as well as play.

I still get excited by a good FPS but right now I've been kind of bummed that my friend Mark isn't as much into co-op gaming anymore. It's probably that he's lost some skill with his bad shoulder and also that I've gotten better and a little more competitive lately. He doesn't like losing. Ha!

But, I got him into Trivial Pursuit, and with other real human players. He's usually dead set against randos because of griefing, but I've been more daring lately.

I still have trouble with Demon's Souls. F'n great environment to play in though and I love the fighting system, as difficult and unforgiving as it is. The cinematics for Demon's Souls are some of my all-time favorite in gaming. That dark fantasy stuff is pretty uncommon.

This was my favorite Matchbox as a kid. The decal wore off mine. It's a Dodge Charger and the body pops up to show the engine like it was a dragster. I don't know why they made this in pink, not my choice for color, but I love the design of the car. The first real car I drove was my dad's Dodge Charger but it was a 1978 model and a luxury car not a muscle car like this, I think, 1971 model.

Also, I remember specific fantasies I used to use while playing with my cars. One was a wagon train story and another was using the patterns in a rug to create a city and imagine various tasks that send the cars to different parts of the rug. Ha!

Wow, a quick google turned up a lot of results. Those protectors are cool.

This one is very fun. There are something like 12 different modes that cycle randomly and they are all interesting twists on multiple choice. Also, if you get behind in a few rounds, one good round can get you right back in there. I was afraid real players would exit the game if they got behind but no one did because you can always pull a come-from-behind win. I like that.

Oh, I didn't notice the rugs.
