Being sick sucks. Sitting around with your whole body all achy, fighting off stupid germs that want to kill you, and wishing you were well even though it means being at work instead, just blows.
At least i'm getting to finally test out my HD-DVD drive. It looks awesome. I'm pretty sure I have the flu, that's what's been going around the office. Oh well. At least I made it through the holidays before I got knocked out.
Well, another Thanksgiving has come and gone. Personally, I'm still in shock from how much food we consumed. My family went to a nice hotel that was having a thanksgiving feast, it was excellent. Everything you could want and a whole turkey on top of it! ;) As well, once we were done eating, everyone just gets up, and goes home, and no one is stuck cleaning for another several hours.
The only downside I could come up with, was that it's much farther from the hotel back to the couch, than it is from the kitchen to the couch. So that's unfortunate. (They didn't have couches set up that you could pass out on and watch football.)
I did have my first banana's foster made right in front of me though, which was excellent. It's a relatively simple dessert, and I think the wife and I will be making them at home soon. Yummy flambe!
Beyond that, I've been trying to get online to play some Halo 2 with the bro (he pulled me out of gears of war), but turns out now you have to freaking download the add-on maps, since they're in standard rotation. So I'm about 20 min into downloading all this crap, once that's done it'll be game time.
He really needs to get a 360, I want to play some Gears!! :)
Ok, so I wasn't wrong preordering Gears of War. It's so amazingly pretty. I've played it for several hours, and every time I start the next level it's even better.
However, the online multiplayer is tough. I've done O.K., but there are a lot of people who are very good already (and the game's only been out for two days.) Apparently either this game is amazingly well balanced, or I just can't figure out the trick. :)
I can't wait until someone I know picks it up for some online co-op.
