(Lousy attempt at song reference, readygo.)

Guess I could’ve said “How to Fail at Write”, but that’s a stretch.

Been a bit, hasn’t it?

I’ll blame Dante. Or Nero, rather. Nero’s the “main” character of Devil May Cry 4, for those of you wondering. (Yes Jess, I confess to my nerdiness.) I just unlocked Dante a few minutes ago. Success! (Okay, I’m done, I guess.)

If you’re not a fan of videogame talk, look away for a while. (Actually, you’ll have to scroll down a bit too.)

Dante gets guns, swords and such. Pretty well rounded as far as weapons go, I suppose. He also sports a fantastic sense of humor. Who else can defeat three-story tall demons, taunting them all the while? Think Matrix meets Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon meets Dragonball Z meets *insert example of amazing bratheadedness and cocky attitude here*.

END NERD SPILL.

To summarize for those of you who blacked out reading the above: I’ve been playing a video game I enjoy. So there.

But the best reason for reduced blogginess is the fact that in Amarillo (especially as opposed to Italy), interesting things are less likely to happen daily, or even weekly. So what’s to blog about?

Video games, apparently.

So how exactly does life-as-usual measure up?

I shouldn’t complain, really. I have friends around, a family that I enjoy hanging out with, a pretty schnazzy computer, a pretty tight video game system, and a job to start on Wednesday.

While I was in Italy, mi familia decided to max out the house. Here’s the damage so far:

• Big flat screen LCD TV
• Pool
• Hot tub
• Pool houseish thing (where the hot tub resides)

Of course, the only thing that’s actually “finished”, that is, in a state of usability, is the TV.

(I was just dragged away from my blogging by a door-to-door guy who had me believe for a few minutes that he was just a new neighbor before tossing out the magazine form. Fantastic.)

Maybe interestingish things do happen here.

But not really.

But srsly.

It’s a metaphor.

Because it really happened.
In the “good news” category, I still have 3 Kinder Eggs left. Ha!
