Hello! :)
Time for fun things, as it seems - for me, at least - has become something of a precious (if not altogether rare) commodity as of late. I am happy to have found some time to put down some words here.
In April of this year, my grandmother fell in her home. She was injured pretty badly, and it hit me very hard.
It's my grandma, for crying out loud.
My wife and I made the decision at that point to move to the city where my grandmother lives.
We had a rare opportunity to move into the condo unit right next door to my grandma, and we jumped on it quickly.
I didn't really have much understanding at that time what it meant, but I was bound and determined to do everything that I could to ensure that my grandmother would NEVER AGAIN find herself in a situation where she would be in physical or emotional danger.
Basically, we either made the move, or my grandma was heading to a facility... or worse.
Not gonna happen, Cap'n. You know?
So, my wife and I got things done very quickly, and got ourselves moved into our new residence. That was actually quite a task, and I think that it's good that the activity level was very high, so that there was no time to reflect (or understand) how difficult the task of moving was.
So hey, it's late September now, and maybe... just maybe... I can find stuff. :P
I spend my time making sure that my grandmother gets from point a to point b, doing household tasks for her, etc.
This leaves me with a whole lot less time for things that I took for granted, but it's still a bargain, you know?
Quite often, I find myself wondering exactly where the Hell I am, honestly - usually when I wake up.
Funny how history repeats itself. :lol:
So yeah, here I am, back once again in my old hometown - round about Halloweentime, no less, and that rules hard.
Most importantly, no one is going to go to their grave without me doing everything that I can to be a force for positive change and protection.

In the midst of all this, I have managed to play the living daylights out of Halo: Reach, and put a great end to my obsession with this game (in earnest) by putting in many hours playing (where I could find them), getting my level pretty high up there, and making enough in-game credits to grab the "Pestilence" armor - the Pestilence armor effect is something that looks like these sickly greenish-brownish clouds and insects flying around, with some nasty looking goo occasionally dripping out. Basically awesome. :P
With Gears of War 3 being released last week, that was the end of my Halo: Reach fetish, but wow, what a trade-off!
I very much enjoy Gears of War 3, and I can tell that I will be playing this game like crazy. I got the "Limited Edition" version - which has a very cool collectible case with some neat extras included. I have played the single player campaign through (Normal difficulty) once in entirety, grabbed all of the campaign collectibles, and played a few multiplayer matches. I give the game a big thumbs up. :D
Skyrim and Halo: Anniversary loom on my personal gaming horizon, and I am very much looking forward to both of these games. I have these two titles on reserve, and I will be grabbing them on day one of their release.
I also snatched the new Opeth album (Heritage).
So yes, I am still hanging tough with my personal entertainment choices in the face of having a lot less time to enjoy them.

If anyone ever says the words "Truth is stranger than fiction"... holy cow, you had better believe them.
:)
Talk to you soon!
