Level Of Difficulty at Work: 2 out of 10
NapTime During Lunch: 36min

Man, i've been so busy (half-life2) that i have no time to scribble no more (danged half-life2)..
Hmmz what has happened since.. Fluffielady and i went to our cousins and ate t-day dindin.. they aren't traditional and fluffielady felt kinda wierd about it.. no turkey? wassup with that? But on that same day we busted out our first xmas tree.. My family's never had one ever, so it's kinda cool. I think a fake one will do fine, since we're not into the high-maintenance of a live xmas tree (like the lawn), that a fake one will do. We also put up lights on the fence and the light post.. and i did my first home modification. Splicing an electrical line with a switch. The thing shoulda had one in the first place but this house is funny like that. Now we can turn on and off the light post light and plug from the garage.. weee! it's not the way i wanted to do it.. i could go back and redo it.. one day.. one day..

After that Capt'n D and i ventured to Northstar on friday to visit the virgin powder.. Mmm it snowed the night before and then the day after. I like how i woke up at 5:30am, turned on the TV, and saw people lined up ready to go shop like theres no end. i think this whole 'black friday' thing is pretty much all hype, ever since the dot-com crash theres not much good goodies that's worth waking up bizarrily early to save a few bucks. For Me n Capt'n D, we boarded till about 3pm.. man the first go of the season is a buttkicker! Gotta get used to the mountain air (oh no!) and getting used to the board again. It was cool, only half of northstar was open but the one half we did was good enough. There was a bunch of people there, not as much as on weekends, but almost. Also they're rebuilding their little village so it's all construction action. After Northstar, we went to Fry's at sacramento and i got a new power supply and AAAA batteries.. yep quadruple A's for the laser pointer(if i could find it).. There weren't anything else that piqued our interest. Capt'n D wanted a small HD.. well hows a 160GB for 60$ after rebates.. heh.. small..

Going back to my current toy, half life2.. i love the game. not only do you own the enemy with a barrage of weapons, but the puzzles utilize this variety of tools. Theres 2 new weapons which i just got, the gravity gun and the zerg thingie. The gravity gun is sweet, you can pick up, bring to, and push away inanimate objects; parts of fences, boxes, barrels, guns. You can push away cars, use barrels as a shield, toss flammable barrels into enemies. Kinda cool. The zerg dealio is like the heart of this giant bug that you kill. Once you have it, all the little bugs are under your control. you can send them forward, go attack your enemies, it's your own mini-army!
