If I had a dollar for every wedding...
I'd have at least $2. Two weddings in two months, between school and my parent's house almost burning down, it's set to be pretty busy this week.
Some friends of mine from WoW are having a wedding near Seattle, and I'm packing up the suitcases and headed on vacation for a week. I'm looking forward to the time off since I haven't had any in an extended block for awhile. I'm going to try to squeeze my schoolwork for the week in tonight so I don't have to worry about it the rest of the week.
Speaking of busy, this weekend was spent prepping for both weddings. A trip to Men's Warehouse netted me a suit for the Washington wedding, as well as my fitting for the Tux that I'll wear to Dan's wedding in AZ. This is the first time I've bought a suit and I'm looking forward to trying everything on tonight to see if it all fits.
Then there's school. This is my last week before finals, the classes were exceptionally difficult and my reading assignments were near Law school-worthy. I had to read through a huge book on software security assessment, and I thought the Microsoft Press Books ran large. After next week, it'll be about 7 months before I have my Master's degree. Six measly classes, time really flies.
On the news front, quite a bit is going on here in the area. There have been quite a few gang-related shootings. A fire near my parent's house, that pretty much burned around the property's perimeter, some of our long-time neighbors had their homes reduced to just a smoking chimney stack. It was quite sad. I read about the fire online this morning, and after my parents didn't return my phone calls, rushed to their house. Everyone was fine, and I went into work smelling like smoke. All's well that ends well.
Fall looks like it is going to be impressive for upcoming video games. I wondered whether or not PC/Console gaming was dead, after this last year's non-impressive releases. But up on the horizon we have Dead Space, Left For Dead (I'm a huge fan of Valve, so this horror shooter should be most excellent), Fallout 3, and of course Wrath of the Litch King. I wish publishers would stagger their games through the year, so that we didn't have a huge glut right around Christmas time.
I can't wait to be home at the end of the day to start my vacation. Work has been slowly digging under my skin, and a well-deserved escape will do me well.
