Yawn

I'm feeling kind of lethargic today. Not sure why. I got up this morning and walked about 45 minutes but I was kinda dragging. I think I won't stay late at work tonight. (I've stayed until 7 every night this week so far). I really need a big catchup day. I think I'm in pretty good shape on all my shows except Family Guy which records tomorrow and I haven't read the script yet. I'm not sure where the memo from the outside counsel is either. I guess I better find that.

I did get a few things done yesterday and I've read the initial script for everything that shoots in the next week and half ('cept Family Guy). It's just the revisions that are killing me right now. Oh....and the goofy requests from the shows. :)

For the gamer geeks: So there I was last night doing a timed mission with my 20th level fire controller. I've cleared the map of all the nasty Vahz and find the last glowie. I reach out to click it and BAM! Lost connection to mapserver. Grrrr! But there is about 40 minutes left on the mission so....if the server comes right back up, there shouldn't be a problem. Right? Try to get back on. Nothing. Jump on Freedom. Talk to friends via global. Still down. Try again. No luck. Finally! It comes back up. I jump on. Enter the mission. WTF!?!? It's completely reset with 27 minutes to go! I rush past the bad guys looking only for the glowies. I find one! I try to get to the second one, but need to clear the area first. 2 down. I look for the third. It's not where it was the first time. I keep looking. Find it. Deal with the three baddies guarding it. Done! In six minutes flat! Go me! :) I did say this was for the gamer geeks, didn't I?

You go girl. I always hated when servers dropped you like that. Sigh!

Oooo! What's Oblivion? Do you recommend it? Do I need a new game?

It is the newest edition to the Elder Scroll line of games. It mixes a first person shooter with a RPG, think Doom + Neverwinter Nights = Oblivion. It's not a MMO, but that is nice too.

I'm really enjoying it, but then this genre is my favorite.

Oblivion is single-person RPG gaming crack. (So is its prequel, Morrowind.) The gameplay provides a really neat story, and the graphics are... wow.
