I'm back baby! (I'm going to pause for the applause to die down.) ... ... ... Okay that should do it. Anyway as I was saying... ... Seriously folks, thanks a bunch. Moving on. Neither ChiliDragon or I wanted to mention it, since we were still speculating at the time, but one of the big reasons that we both took our recent one-week vacation is because we were looking around at new houses. I'm happy to say that today, in less than two hours time, I'll be presenting our offer to the realtor of one of the houses we've been looking closely at. As you can probably imagine, we both have some butterflies in our stomachs today and I'm beginning to regret that second Red Bull of the morning that I chugged. The house we're looking at is around seven years old, 4 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms, has a split-bedroom layout, is 1932 square feet (all on one-floor) has wooden floors in some of the common areas, high vaulted ceilings, a walk-in closet off the master bedroom, Jacuzzi/whirlpool bath, three car garage, a skylight in the kitchen, and no neighbors on two of the four sides of the house. I feel like Stitch probably felt when Lilo gave him that coffee in the movie.

Anyway, I've been thinking a lot about what blogging I'll be doing in the near future. Near the top of my list is revisiting the "Ten Fearless Prediction" blogs that are now almost a year old (my how time flies) and seeing how my predictions matched up with reality. Also on my radar are a couple of "Stupidest People in the World" blogs, a couple more "Issue" blogs comparable to the recent one I did on Gay Marriage, some political analysis of the upcoming U.S. Presidential and Congressional elections and maybe a "State of the Union" type gaming industry thoughts blog. I may also give out some of my updated thoughts on a few of the games that I've played recently. (Hints: Uncharted: Drake's Fortune and Chains of Olympus were excellent, GTAIV and Condemned 2 were a little disappointing, and Conan was pretty much what I thought it would be. Still undecided on Folklore.) That's all for now. Short blog I know, but I'm having a difficult time concentrating today for some reason.
