the new and old

I've had so much going on this past month, I can't possibly document it all here. I'm sure that even if I did document it here somebody would take issue with it, so I will generalize:

(The New)
First and foremost, buying a house has become less and less a priority for Reese and I. I've recently got three prospectives (yes, let's call them prospectives) from a variety of places around the lower 48. When one finally comes through for me, then we'll begin the search for a house all over again. Until then, I'm focused on the wedding and all associated expenses.

(The Old)
Chuck and I have started playing Diablo II again. This is our third stint with the game (once in high school, once early on in college, present). My all time favorite role playing / hack-and-slash game, I was ecstatic when he suggested getting back into it. World of Warcraft was a TON of fun to play, don't get me wrong, but I find it abyss-like in that the scope of the game is so massive it seems like it swallows you up. I love how expansive the game is, but its too huge for me anymore. I only have a window of three hours a night (maximum) where I can relax and just game, and three hours isn't enough to do much of anything in WoW. Not to mention the $15 per month fee that's required to play it (Diablo II is free to play online). So, we're gettin' the team back together! Rollo's joining us too this time, too! If this game is nothing more, its nostalgic and damnit, I had some damn good times playing Diablo. My passion for playing this game will never die.

Reese has an interview later in the week with a childcare establishment in Canonsburg. That's AWESOME. I know she'll knock the interview outa the park and return home with good news. I'm DAMN excited for her. She was born to mother children, and since this is as close as she's getting to that Mesopotamia - I know she'll thrive.

I'm an excitable boy, apparently.
