UPDATE: DECEMBER 2005

UPDATES

I'm still working on Ambasadora and have been making great progress, especially with Rainer's character. I go through stages where I favor one character over another. Right now it's a dark haired Contractor who's just really self-centered and conceited. You know, the dangerous type women always fall for.

Also, I've been working on a gaming essay. It's either an inspiration for, or in response to, my XBOX Live renewal. I switched tags so I'm starting from level one again. I was reminded of this when out of 16 players in a Big Team Battle, my voice was the lowest in pitch.

This has proven more entertaining than frustrating. Granted, my team has only won 2 of the 5 most recent games, but the chatter is priceless. These kids are hilarious. I did have one guy raise my ire enough to let slip a couple of foul words, but he was a good sport and didn't report me, so no harm done. :)

And, I can't forget Quarry. I've been taking copious notes and am quite excited about this new project. So far, I like Adelaide a little better than Ceriwen.

Oh, I still haven't finished that proposal for the Virginia guidebook yet either. Lots to do before residency.

See most of you really soon!
