You know, I wish I had something more interesting to say, but I really don’t. Took Mobius with me to work today. It was sorta tricky, ’cause it was his first day in a new environment, so he was really skittish. But everyone at work seemed to like him, which was cool, and frankly, it’s pretty awesome that dogs are welcome at work. I just wish I had more to actually *do*. It’s just one of those weird things – you come on at the end of a project, and everyone’s so focused on wrapping that up, but there’s really not much I can do, so I spend a lot of time writing, or doing busywork. I just wish there was something more substantial to do.

Playing the Halo 3 Beta – it’s good, but already some people are *so* good that the game’s getting a little frustrating. I guess maybe people aren’t working, or have taken time off work or something, because there are people who are insane already, and the thing’s only been out for a day. I suppose if you were good at Halo 2, your skills transfer pretty well intact. Alas.

Other than that, basically swimming in games right now – stuff for the Wii, stuff for the 360, and even a couple games I really want to spend more time with on the PS2, like The Red Star and God of War 2. Battlestations Midway is one of those games on the 360 that I’m really itching to try – it’s a combination action/strategy game. A friend of mine was picking up some copies of C&C3 – I’m looking forward to that as well. I liked BFME2, but not many people I knew got it. I doubt more of my friends will pick up C&C, but I know Klay will, so at least we’ll be able to hit up some multiplayer…

The house is in a bit of a state of flux – Joe’s moving downstairs, Colin & Jess are officially out, and we’re interviewing architects for the upstairs renovations. It’s pretty zany. No real “progress” progress yet, but yeah. It’s a start.

Also kinda weird – there have been seven muggings in something like four weeks in the neighborhood, one of which was only a couple houses down from us. Pretty scary. There was a neighborhood-wide meeting on it tonight, and so it was sort of interesting, meeting some of my neighbors, and actually interacting with them. Good to know there are a lot of people in the area who care enough to meet and take some sort of action.

Yeah. Wacky stuff.
