Welcome back people.

This thursday will mark an important game night. We will have: myself, Jeremy, mikex0r, Carolyn, Rich, Brad, but the star of the evening will be Mark, who is leaving the continent for a long time (4 months). This will be his last game night of '05.

My recent purchase of the DS has given me an addiction I haven't known in a videogame in a while. I've been playing Advance Wars and Meteos, although there are other games that are supposed to be just as good. I'm looking forward to tuesday so I can play some wireless action with Rich. Innovation, man, that's where the cool shit is.

In other news: My family has managed to show itself this weekend. It started with my phone ringing and a 212 (keeps me marvolous) number showing up. If you don't know 212 is the city, but I only know Heacox in Queens, and that isn't 212. It turns out that it is my Aunt Jeanie Coogan from florida (used to be Manhattan). She was calling from work (Bloomies) and apparently they route all of their calls through New York, wierd. Anyway, we talked for a while and she wished me a happy birthday and such. We got to talking about Billy (my cousin, and Aunt Dot's son) who has taken up the riegns as head of the family. She and I talked about what was originally a small plan to potentially go to New York for Christmas. I hadn't really put too much thought into it, because I think it will piss Chowning off if I don't spend Christmas with her. But at the same time I would be going to see what little family I have left. Anyway, Jeanie and I left it at whichever of us makes plans first we'll coordinate with the other and then they will do whatever the fuck they want (as is the way it goes in my family). Then later on today Billy calls and we have basically the same conversation. This settles things abit more on the "go to NY" side as he would be particularly down with it. All the same it was cool to get phonecalls from two relatives in the same day. I'm luck if I get calls twice in a year let alone the same 18 hour period.

In talking with Billy and Jeanie it seems more clear to me that I am my mother's son. Before you get on my case about how reduntant that is. When talking to Jeanie and Billy they said things and left things out in a very comfortable manner. I'm not surprised with Jeanie because we talk at least a few times a year, but Billy and I never talk and it was still like talking to someone I've known for a while. It is something that I don't find when I talk to a lot of people. It is as if the timing is off, or they feel the need to same something that I feel is understand and a waste of time to say. It definetely is the way it goes with a lot of people at work. Even Chowning's family is a little wierd to talk to. I guess it boils down to how much people think they need to say. It seems that in what little family I have we assume that things are going well, and if they aren't it is your call whether or not you want to bring it up.

Now in response to Mike's comment that this is my blog and the rest of you are mere spectators (if that), I will now refrain from posting for the rest of september. Out.
