It's been such a long time...
I am still here.....and I have lots of things to say, until I actually sit down to write them. Then I go blank.
As a tribute to the gamergeek that I used to be (and still would be if I only had the time) I enjoyed the CGI film "Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children" and it just warmed my heart to see the characters that I got to know so many years ago (just exactly when did that game come out? 1994? 1996?) and see how they managed after the anti-climactic ending of the game where you get more questions than answers. Yes, Virginia, I am one of those who think games can be in the same category as film (I know the purists out there are cringing on this one) but it is all about telling a story, and the good ones can do just that. The bad ones, okay, most are bad, but in my humble opinion, so are most films.
I had a rather productive weekend altogether, I finished the college course I am taking, managed to watch a movie, and I am almost over this week long illness that I have been dealing with. Now to get back into the gym after an 8 day layoff, THAT is gonna hurt.
