Upcoming Stuff
Lots of stuff going on in Casa de Abner. Ashley has started pre-school. She absolutely loves it, too. She goes 4 days a week which allows me a 2 hour window to get some work done without having to stop to play hide and seek, freeze tag (2 player freeze tag totally sucks) or watch another episode of Blue’s Clues. Mary has poison ivy, which is just a barrel of fun. After a month long hiatus, my 3-point jumper came back last night in my Tuesday night basketball league. I swear the hoop looked 10 feet wide. ‘Bout damn time. I am teetering on the edge of getting back into shape thanks to the fact that we can play full court now rather than side court. I tell ya, playing five 15-minute games of full court basketball three nights a week will get your physical mojo back. My ankles still suck, but I have accepted that.
Next week we go to the home builder to pick out siding and trim colors for the house as well as carpet and inside paneling. I have been given the green light to turn my work room into a Buckeye room. I have free reign on the colors and the decor in it, so I have that going for me.
On the work front, I’m about 80% done with the book’s first draft. I finished up entries this morning on Infected, Project Gotham Racing 3, Full Auto, and Call of Duty 2. As you can see I have entered the “Holiday 2005″ portion of the book. After that I move on to the “2006″ stuff and then I’m done. This is when Todd tells me how much stuff I messed up and I get to write parts of it over again. Yeah!
On the work front I should get a copy of Breeders Cup for the Xbox any day now and will post some impressions on it. My NHL2K6 review should be online at GameShark later this week or early next. (I gave it a B+, the only major issues being the occasional bug and the rosters) I’m also working on the NHL 06 review for CGM and then I will finally get to Fable the Lost Chapters after that and will finish up the current schedule with the Dawn of War add on review for CGM. So still lots of work to do and zero free gaming time, so my Fate playtime has dwindled of late.
