- Ok.  Through the loyalty missions for all of my characters (that I have… still one remaining to find) in Mass Effect 2.  Going through all of those sequences in a row really makes the game a bit of a grind.  I’m finding that I’m more anxious to just get back to the story and get the game moving again rather than dealing with the issues that every member of my crew has.  I do think that I’ve made one bad decision with Jack though… as she does not have a ‘red’ loyalty ring on the character selection screen.

One thing that I have found is that most of these characters are the most needy people I’ve ever encountered.  It seems like almost all of them need to be told, “Hey there soldier… You’re really great, you know that?”

Apparently Shepard’s second job is that of a therapist.  How bad of a counselor is that Kelly woman considering I have to do all of the work for her?  Good grief.

- My family is really excited about the opportunity to go to skating tonight on the Camp Randall ice rink.  My wife went out and bought new hockey skates last Saturday, got them baked on Tuesday and is anxious to get out there on them.  My oldest daughter was telling everyone at her day care today about how she gets to skate at Camp Randall tonight.  As a hockey fan, I’m pretty jazzed about the whole thing.  Oh, yeah… and I get to have my picture taken with the Stanley Cup.   I won’t touch it though…

- I have a few of the things set up for the new project that I’m going to be undertaking.  It’s exciting to work on all of the aspects of something new, it’s not something that will take me away from here… just something that I’ve always wanted to do and now I’m going to give it a shot.  Should be a ton of fun.  It should be starting in the next week or so.  Just some technical things to work out.

- Because it’s entertaining… a soccer commentator fainting on camera.  Seeing the eyes roll back in the head is creepy… but still funny… because it’s not me.

- I’ll try to post some pictures from Camp Randall later tonight… because… well, I think it’s going to be awesome.  Hopefully they turn out.  Plus, pictures of the kids on the ice are always great.
