jmu1's Journal: So, I'm trying this new thing...

I'm going to try to start actually writing in my journal more often. You know, weblogs and whatnot. Anyway, last night, Holly decided to give me my xmas present a bit early. I didn't want her to, and made it explicitly clear. However, she decided to plop it onto my lap last night as I covered my face. I tried to resist. It was terrible. I gave in. It was the Metroid Prime pack! I was quite happy she had gotten that for me. I have played it a bit, and I must confess... it's the greatest game I've ever played(so far). I'm so bloody glad it's not really a first person shooter b/c those never tend to work very well without a keyboard(IMHO). I'm not going to go into too much detail here b/c there are a ton of reviews out there that will say exactly the same thing I have to say. Oh, and Nintendo... YOU GUYS SUCK! Why oh why did you have to come out with a method for me to play gameboy games on my GCN? Now I'm going to want that too! Geesh. I'm just glad I'm getting out of the computer gaming bit... that was just getting too expensive and it was too distracting to do any work on the machine with the games just sitting there, waiting to be played.

I went to the Dr. yesterday. Damn sinuses just don't ever give me a break. Fortunatly, I didn't have to make a drugstore run as my Dr. gave me a goodie bag full of demo drugs. Yippie! Oh, Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets... saw it last Sunday. It was pretty good. The first was better IMHO, mainly because there was more of a feeling of mystery about it. They tried really hard to get that same feeling in this one, but it turned out to be more like an episode of Scooby-Doo than a spine-tingling mystery. Yeah, there is spiders... lots of spiders. However, after watching that, I don't think I'll have too much of a problem with the little buggers for a while.

I'm going to have to go to the eye doctor soon b/c my eyes are really giving me a hard time about going out of focus. They're weak for some reason. I'll read of play a game for a while and after that, I'm disoriented and have a headache. I'd like to be able to spend copious amounts of time doing the things I like instead of having to get up every few minutes and let my eyes rest. I hate feeling like I'm not doing anything. Even if it's just playing a game. Even that has purpose.
