Well hello.

I'm so bloody behind on writing I think I'll just pretend I've never written here before.

So the question becomes.. who's been writing that ridiculious prattle before this post. No matter, I shall find them and have them summarily executed.

So last friday night I had a Halo game with 15 or so other people. The most fun I've ever had playing video games. Normally I don't enjoy video games much because of the whole escapist functionality of them. Not to say I don't play at all, I mean, I have an Xbox. I just don't enjoy them a whole lot. I'm playing the new Spider-man right now.. it's alright and I can see the appeal of getting lost in a world where you are able to swing from roof top to roof top by slinging webbing to.. clouds, or triangulating them between other buildings and creating a base to swing from or whatever it is that he does. It also isn't to say that I won't be seeing the new Spider man movie coming out in two weeks.. which really has nothing to do with what I'm talking about. I suppose my topic is escapism. Trust me, I see the appeal, but I also see the pitfalls. Which is more potent to my mind? To which am I more readily addicted, escapism. To which do I want to devote myself, reality. But anyway, I played halo and enjoyed it immensely. One of the few times I've actually done well in a game against other humans.

My thoughts are scattered right now, so I should probably stop writing about now. Who knows, perhaps I'll actually make two days in a row...
