Boy how time flies....

I know. I have been extremely negligent in updating this. Well, more like I have updated at all. Sorry about that. :(

So, y'all are wondering what is going on, and with good reason. I haven't fallen off of the face of the planet; at least, i have yet to. Work has slowly progressed forward on Eugenic. It is going to be finished!!!

I can't promise when - I really wish I could - because my course load has been keeping me busier than I like. I am going to try my best to keep this thing up to date to allow y'all to see that I am not giving up on the series as well as other stuff I have in the works. Let's just say that I have some other intriguing stories to tell.

Now, what have I been up to? Well, classes picked up this semester and haven't slowed down. Taking 16 hours - 2 upper level math and 3 upper level physics - is pretty fine consuming i find myself on campus a good deal to be sure I am stating up with my work. I can think Linds for helping me stay here. We drive on campus together to save on gas and time. Her car is so much more efficient than my aging explorer. Carpooling is also the only way to get anywhere in a reasonable amount of time in the morning here in Houston. The southwest freeway is murder in the morning. Thankfully, her classes when they meet are in the evening. No need to worry about the drive home - I swear it is worse going back home than it is coming onto campus.

Whenever I am at home, I find that I really don't want to do much of anything other than chill. My brain is running all day with class, I just need to unwind.  To that end, Let's say that I am a recovering hardcore gamer. I say recovering because Linds gets frustrated when I spend too much time on there.:-P I have the consoles, but I don't really play them except for major console only games. No, all of my gaming is on the computer.

My latest fare has been Mechwarrior Online (www.mwomerc.com it is free to play ). Any of y'all familiar with Battletech have already heard of it, but those that haven't should check it out. You get to fight people with giant walking machines of destruction. It enters open beta today at 1200 PDT.

Of course, I also play the single player games. XCOM, which just came out earlier this month, is pretty awesome. Many rookies have died to advance the cause of defending Earth at all costs. My first Classic Ironman run had me losing over 30 troops before the council told me to get lost. That's XCOM baby. :-P

Guess I better wrap this up. If y'all have any questions, please ask them! I am here. If y'all wanna hang out online in a game, shoot me a message. We'll work something out.

Till later...
