Beer

Drunk by 3:15 PM, not bad.

Hurray for Molson.

Gaming

Ah hell, I might as well say it. I'm a gaming addict. No denying it. That said, it's not such an awful thing really.

I've made some good friends playing games online in the past few years, and yes, I've met some of them in person. Good people. I can not say enough good things about the forum over at Gamers With Jobs where people have listened to me rabble on and on about the goings on of my existence, but they don't have quite as many options to not read as you folks do. :)

Since the game Battlefield 1942 has been released, I have been playing it. Somewhere around 2 and a half years now. It's been a great ride and I've really enjoyed it.

Lately I've been trying to hook up with some folks playing some coop missions of Swat 4 on Wednesday nights. Unfortunately I've been having some problems with the game crashing unexpectedly on me, so it hasn't been a very stable experience. But I've really enjoyed the times I've been able to play.

While my wife gets fairly annoyed at my gaming, I do it a lot probably too much, she seems very accepting of having married a nerd. There's very little chance of her also getting into, which is fine by me, but I'll keep offering forever and ever I'm sure.

To see what I'm playing take a look at my Xfire profile. Just look for Druidpeak.

Sloth

Really, I haven't done shit in the past few weeks. I survived my law enforcement academy with a 91% average, but have not been able to score a LE ranger job yet.

Poor poor me, so what have I been doing since I got back to Bozeman......?

Nothing, just sitting on my butt, and kicking around the internet and playing some games occasionally. Not too exciting, but I'm enjoying the relaxation portion of things. That won't last much longer.

On Sunday I travel westward to Missoula to take my WFR(Wilderness First Responder) course. It's a crash course on being an initial response emergency medical person. Far and below an EMT certification, but I'm very happy to have this training. Hopefully it will give me enough to handle things until the professionals arrive. The plan is, this winter I'll keep my eyes and ears open, and take a Wilderness EMT course so that I can be more confident in my emergency responding.

Oh yeah, in 4 weeks Amber and I are moving to Portland! To tell you the truth, I'm pretty damned excited about it. Every single person I've talked to has had only good things to say about Portland, and the area will suit my needs quite well I think. I've been looking longingly at my mountaineering boots and climbing gear lately, so maybe it's time to fire up that old passion and again, and head for the hills.
