Fireflies and Mexican Food

I've been busy with not-slacking-off stuff all day, which consequently makes it hard to blog.  I've been helping my friend do jobs around the house for my parents.  My feet are tired.

I've also been looking for jobs.  Or trying.  That's also exhausting.  On top of that, I ordered some books to sell by hand (or by mail).  And deposited some checks.  My life's full of mundane stuff right now.

I mean, it's not all bad.  Not even close.  There was some Brawl (which is peerless), and Casa Real.  It's an authentic Mexican restaurant.  I may have mentioned it before.  Anyway, if you live anywhere close to Otsego, MI you should pretty much just drop everything and go eat their food.  It is the best food.

I don't really have anything profound to say at the moment.  No wait, here comes—

The fireflies are out tonight.  They are a beautiful gift, those creatures.  Dancing points of golden light whose choreography draws attention the landscape they fill.  I pass moments of peace amongst these creatures and thank God for this world he made.

Also, Firefly is the best show.  I saw that about a lot of shows.  This one too.  Watch it.  Unless you can't stand sci-fi.  Then just get out.  Out.

Bugs are trying to eat my screen.  Not the beautiful, shiny kind.  The annoying, gnat-like kind.  Time to put an end to this.

Good night, readers.

Mostly Beta-related

The Guild Wars 2 beta has been awesome.  I'm a little concerned that they might not delete our characters after this one ends, though.  Let me explain why that might be a problem.  You see, if we go too many beta weekends with characters that are going to be deleted before launch, then we've grown really attached to those characters and it's really hard to just let them go like that.  I've played the first twenty levels of my future guardian over the course of the last couple months, and if I go another month with her, I'm gonna want to just keep playing this version of the character on release.

And the problem with that is that it's unfair to those who are waiting to get the game on release, who would be woefully behind everyone who's been playing since May.  So they should delete our characters when this is done.  Sad, but I think it must be done.

I got to nerd out about Guild Wars 2 to my little sisters today.  That was fun. We've been going on a good half-hour walk everyday for a while, so that exercise thing I mentioned a few days ago has been happening to an extent.  That's good.

Also, we ate at an authentic Mexican restaurant for lunch.  It's called Casa Real, and it's awesome.  So delicious.  So very, very delicious.  Did I mention I like Mexican food?  I do.  Lots.

It's probably a good thing the beta weekend is ending, because now I can focus on other, much more important things.  But this weekend has been very, very fun, and that was good.

That's all for tonight, folks.  Ciao!
