"Take that, Fritz...and you too, Jerry"

I think I yelled that a lot as I tossed a lot of grenades into houses where Nazi soldiers were bunkered down in Call of Duty 2. Yes, I'm enjoying the new 360. A lot. Maybe it was not such a good idea for a game addict like me to purchase yet another device that robs me of valuable time that could be spent elsewhere. On the bright side, I usually just lose TV time to game time. It's not like I lock myself in the house and play games while my kids don't get fed and I don't do my job. I just have to decide whether I want to play games or watch TV. Decisions, decisions...

Fortunately, Stacey politely "insists" that we not spend all the free time playing games. Heh.

...

All my family is finally out of my house. As always, the visits with my parents and then with my bro and his girlfriend were good...but it's also good to have the house to ourselves again after a busy holiday like this one. Now all I have to do is tear down all the Christmas bling we put up all over the house. If the weather tomorrow allows it, that is...big storms and metal ladders on the side of my house don't make good bedfellows...

Bedfellows? Who talks like that? I guess it's late and I'm too tired to write normal English.

...

The Mazda is still in the shop. Though I'm bummed that the car has a problem at all, I'm happy that this particular problem revealed its ugly head while the vehicle was under warranty...rather than a month out of it down the road.

Also, the service dept. and Enterprise Rent-a-car hooked me up with a convertible to drive around in. Yes, it's January. But today, the temp was in the high 60s, so it actually was very nice to drive around with the top down. Still, I'd rather have a Jeep. Or a Mustang. Or one of those BMW 645i convertibles we saw outside Kyoto the other night. Wow...4 seats, sharp design...can someone loan me $70,000?

...

It was a lot of fun having my bro play in the band with us this morning. Everything came together pretty smoothly...he knew the songs very well, and playing with him just seemed natural. I seriously wish he lived a bit closer than Charlotte, NC... I'd love to play music with him more often.

Anyone know of any good printing-management-related jobs in the Huntsville area? If he could find a job here in his field, who knows...

Heh. Off to bed...
