Thursday Quick Hits

I know, no post yesterday.  I have a reason for it, just not a good one.  I spent a good chunk of yesterday playing Bioshock for the first time.  Really nice game, intriguing story.  One complaint I have is the number of weapons you get.  I have a hard time just thinking about how a single person carries all of this stuff without pulling a wagon behind you.  Now trying out Mass Effect to see what the hubbub is about and to get a little preview on how Star Wars: The Old Republic is going to run.

Speaking of, Steam had an outrageous Holiday sale which absolutely forced me to pick up a bunch of games for a fraction of the cost.  Seriously, I got a number of titles I was looking at for some time for essentially the cost of a single game.

Tuesdays seem to be my favorite net days.  It means a rash of good comics that I look up including Sluggy Freelance, Darths and Droids and Wondermark.  Thursdays are close too, but not as good as Tuesdays.  Wondermark updates on Tuesday/Friday.

We’re officially into the eighth month.  I’ll post up some profile pictures soon.  We’re excited, nervous, anxious…a rash of emotions.  Plus, we’ve got so much baby stuff now from other people.  Still in need of a thing or two, but looking good otherwise.  The essentials are pretty much there with the exception of diapers.  Getting closer on names as well.

More snow.  I still dig it, but I’m anxious for Spring to arrive so our dog can experience actual green grass.  She likes to eat anything that gets close to her mouth so outside, it’s a lot of dead leaves and other tree  and plant detritus.  I’m guessing she’ll go bonkers.
