I know, I know, I need to post more things.

     I haven't been posting as much since I started working full-time I just haven't really had as much time to think about posting things lately. I have started listening to news talk radio again so I'm sure I'll soon have much more to talk about.

     In the mean time, I've been playing a ton of Baldur's Gate recently. I'm not going to do a review on it in this post because that's not the purpose of this particular post. I'd just like to mention how much fun and awesomeness I've been having lately. Baldur's Gate is a game we had back when I was younger. I'm pretty sure we had the demo of it... and then I remember my brother got it on disk. And by disk... I mean there were six disks. This was before the expansion... which I believe brought it down to three disks instead.

     I've never had the chance to get into a real group to play D&D. Also the rules these days have been updated quite a bit... so having so much experience with the 2nd edition rule-set probably doesn't help a ton. In any case, playing so much of this game and getting prepared to play the NEW expansion followed by Baldur's Gate 2 has really made me want to get into some D&D, or at least play some more boardgames with people. I've really thought about finding a group to play with. It would likely have to be online, but that wouldn't make it any less awesome. Who knows... maybe I can get Carley interested in it as well. In the mean time, once I get going again with streaming again, I'll may be streaming quite a bit of Baldur's Gate.

     I think we may be caught up with bills and things in about a month. Maybe slightly longer, but I'm not sure. I'm excited to finally be back on track. The good news is that we're at the very least staying afloat, and it's only a matter of time until we have the means to pull ourselves out of the hole of money. What a silly thing... money... If we lived in a barter system, we'd be rich thanks to all the crafts Carley likes to make. And maybe my entertainment value to other people would be valuable as well. Ah well, we'll figure it out.

     As always, have a great day everybody! Keep being awesome! ^_^

August Update

     It's the beginning of August. I've found a full-time job and school is coming up soon. We're making our payments for rent and catching up on our bills. I think things are going well. The real challenge will be balancing work and school and still finding just a little bit of time to do my own things every once in a while.

     I don't feel like I have a ton of time to myself these days. I always feel busy. I really can't imagine how I'm going to feel once I have to devote time to schoolwork and whatnot; surely I'll survive though.

     In other news, Carley's gecko Ryker has started moving around more again. He's much more interesting when he actually leaves his rock and does things. Really makes me want to get a puppy, but I suppose I'll just have to continue getting my dog-fix through work for now. I'm sure we plan on getting a Shih Tzu once we're ready and I also have a goal to get an American Eskimo one day in the future.

     I may have to be alright with moving out of the city and onto an acreage to be able to get all the dogs I want plus rescuing a few. That might mean awful internet out in the country if we go ahead with that idea, but that's thinking for quite some time into the future. I'm sure we'll figure out what we want to do when the time comes.
