I have a feeling that my updates are my way of organizing my life. I feel like something is missing when I don’t go through my xanga updates, smugmug photo uploads and journal entries. I have developed a schedule where I go to work and do a lot of work.

I watch a few shows during lunch and down time to keep me going through the work day. I tend to watch Dancing With The Stars nowadays. I also try to keep up with Naruto. I finished WCG Ultimate Gamer and Real World: Brooklyn. I lost interest in Making The Band 4 ever since Danity Kane broke up. I have Mafia Wars keeping me going still. I always have Pandora music playing through my headphones. Nowadays I’ve been listening to a lot of Andrea Bocelli and Sarah Brightman type music. I think it’s important to have these little fun things to do.

Then I go home and watch tv and eat dinner with Henry. Henry cooks the food while I shower and we watch something on DVR, Netflicks or whatever tv series on DVD we are on (formerly BSG and Lost). We started S1 on April 3. Started S3 on April 23. We finished Lost up to Season 4 on May 9. It’s pretty damn good. I wasn’t expecting it to hook us so much. We’re waiting for season 5 to come out on DVD but that won’t be until Dec 8. We might just resort to the internets.

Sometimes we play games after dinner. Most often it will be Gears of War 2 with Allen, Mike and Ed on Xbox Live. Two days ago, we started playing Fable 2 on Xbox 360 and it’s pretty fun. I think we get along better at Gears of War though as RPGs tend to test patience sometimes especially since the Co-op isn’t as good as we had hoped. Player 2 is very limited with what he can do.

We’ve been wanting to get back into StarCraft too. My only hesitation with StarCraft is that I don’t want all the stress of our over competitiveness and impatience and frustration with losing to come back. I love the game but I think our love for the game made us develop such an intense connection to it that we went overboard a lot. I have kept some distance from community involvement and I’m no longer overwhelmed. I just wanted to be a casual gamer and that’s what I am now.
