Just A "Bit" of Homework

Sorry, not much in the way of rantness tonight... just got back from Thanksgiving and random fun tripness with the family in Phoenix, and am much in the way of tired. Plus, I feel the beginnings of maybe getting sick, and I'd like to avoid that. So far I just qualify as "under the weather," and I'd rather things not got worse, so I'ma take it easy for a while. Now, as to how that somehow makes me unable to write a rant, I couldn't say, but trust me, they're connected. Somehow.
I have a laundry list of games to play - if I get the time - before I head off to Arizona again, not the least of which is the new Prince of Persia game. I've been going on and on to people about its "inverse kinematics" and how cool they are, and the second they say "Wow! Sounds like you've played it a lot!" I have to reply meekly that no, I've never actually played it, I've just read about it a whole lot. Which is to say, reading isn't dorky, but ONLY doing so and yet going on about the awesomeness of a game... well, it's Nerd Central, to say the least. I'd like to play Prince of Persia and then - funny vampire name and all - beat the last bit of the proverbial stuffing out of the new Castlevania: Lament of Innocence that I'd been going on about in the past rants. Then maybe something like Jak II and that Sphinx game I got asked about recently. Jeez. So much to play... makes me really wish I OWNED some of this stuffÂ… yeah. ::hopeful grin:: Anywhooo.
Two weeks and I'm 23. Craziness. At least I think so. Not that I'm surprised I've made it this far or anything, just that it's not like, a GOAL I've worked towards. One realizes sometime after their 22nd birthday that being another year older has lost its zing that it had when one was younger. I remember my parents telling me when I was twelve that I shouldn't really have any more birthday parties, that they were kind of egotistical. That didn't fly with me back then... well, essentially because I just liked parties, and I figured my birthday was as good a reason to celebrate as any. Were they to tell me NOW and not THEN that I should quit having birthday parties, things that I dream will be big affairs where everyone just has fun and gets along, then, well, I might agree with them. But only for a moment. What can I say? I just like parties [She doesn't mean the kind where attendees get inebriated and generally make fools of themselves, she means the ones where you hang out, watch movies, play games, etc. I know most people probably don't need that clarification, but this is for those who did. - web guy Josiah]. ::smile::
Well, I gotta go. Be well, peace out... see you all on Friday. If you bring snacks, just make sure there's enough to go around.
