Singin' in the Rain
It rained like crazy today, but I'm not complaining. A fitting end to an otherwise excellent Golden Week -- fitting because it gave me time to finally settle down and relax a bit before getting back to work tomorrow. I went out and bought an 8GB iPod nano today to use when working out so I don't have to lug the iPod video around when I just want to listen to music. Sometimes I spoil myself, but whatever -- when you work as often as I do, you gotta splurge now and then. :)
(Apologies for the quality of the above pic; I didn't have my real camera on me today so I had to settle for a cell phone grab.)
This week is gonna be party central, thanks to the impending arrival of my good pals Christian and Shane for the 42nd time this year, not to mention other, less frequent visitors such as Chris K and Billy B. Apparently I also have a birthday to forget about in less than 24 hours (I'm looking to go in reverse this year if possible), so we'll see what that brings.
I haven't had a lot of time for gaming lately, but I did manage to *finally* pop in Oblivion last night. I've only played about 90 minutes so far, but so far it's been surprisingly compelling. I say 'surprisingly' because I honestly wasn't sure I would like it, what with it being the polar opposite of the kinds of RPGs I've traditionally enjoyed (Japanese ones). So far, so good, though. Love the atmosphere, love the music, digging the dungeon-crawling. I'll try to play some more tonight if I can.
