Home is where the house is

New bulletins from the fronts:

I bought SImCity 4 yesterday, and I’ve been playing it quite a bit over the last couple of days. To my surprise, it’s an excellent game (I figured they’d start churning out crappy products after EA had the franchise for a while.. I guess it’s just a distrust of large companies). Anyway, it’s generally quite polished, allows you to view your cities in ways never before possible, and makes formerly complicated stuff much more simple. I’ve always loved the SimCity games, and this one is better than all the others. I remember why we dubbed this game one of the “afternoon eaters” (along with Star Wars:Rebellion and Roller Coaster Tycoon).

I got to play frisbee with 10 friends today. It was cold and a bit snowy, and the ground was muddy and wet, but the game was a lot of fun. Sometimes I wish I had cleats… the few people who have them can always turn better than I can in the mud, regardless of skill. Part of me feels that getting cleats would violate my casual view of the game a bit, so I shy away from them. I’m hoping we’ll be able to play indoors over the winter, it’ll just depend on availability and economics. It would be really fun though.

I saw most of Terminator 3 today, and I think it’s not too bad as an action movie. Loads of destruction can’t be too bad…

I may be getting a cell phone tomorrow, as much as cell phone ownership goes against every fiber of my being (you may find me watching Friends and Dragon Ball Z soon). Hopefully I won’t become “that guy”… I’m not too worried about it though.

Tomorrow afternoon it’s back to school and back to work, freed from these allergies that I get every time I come home. It’s been good to be home, but it’s time to get back to school and take care of business… 1 presentation, 2 projects, 1 paper, 2 reports, 2 finals, etc
