Well, least I only took half a month to update this time around razz

For starters, I've been roaming around to many a site, patching up loose ends and finding friends. I may have missed some here or there though ^_^;

Hope everyone had a Happy Thanksgiving! Mine went ok, seeing as I didn't do all that much. I never really do much that day as is, since I'm not much into the food. I know, wtf right? I used to, but lately, I don't care much for it anymore. Not sure why, but oh well. Had some family over and we invited my friend Russ over to hang out for awhile. All in all, it was a good day.

Hmm, the job front seems to have some openings for me as of late, with a temp job for the holidays, something possibly available at Benficial Bank, and MAYBE a position might be available at Rite Aide, where Russ works, sometime in the near future. I hope something happens soon, for I need a job...badly! One, so I can get my fundings back in place. Two, so I can actually do the thigns I'd like to do. Finally three...to get that new computer I want!

Well, it's also a matter of need, seeing as I go to ITT and work with different programs. This last quarter it would have been especially helpful, seeing as they had 3DS MAX Ver. 8.5, while we only were able to use Ver. 8 or 9. I know...makes no sense, but we couldn't even update the one they had at school at that moment.

I haven't really mentioned it much here, but the computer I'm hoping to aquire is the new HP Touch Smart. I don't mind which model I get, though i wouldn't mind to get the model with a TV Tuner (if I'm REALLY lucky, the high end model that has extra storage space, but I'm not getting my hopes up). One of the great things about it, aside from the touch screen, wireless features, and double my current memory...it's that it has only one cable. The power cord, which makes it a portable desktop! Heh, the funny thing is, it's a HUGE screen (22" or 25.5" wink ...so I need to get the right bag for it. The only bag I could find that would do the trick is a hiking bag! Luckily, I like the way it looks and it has a camo pattern, so all's good.

Now...to just get the funding to get it!

As for school, my Third quarter is over and tomorrow I start my Fourth. The last one was kinda...eh, but hopefully this one will go well. I mean, I haven't had my usual one week break between quarters, this time only because we get a 2 week break for the holidays. I guess that evens out.

Oh, and to end my entry...I played and beat Sonic Unleashed. What I do I have to say about it? Wow.

Just wow.

The game is nuts! I haven't had a challenege like in a Sonic game in quite some time. The day time levels are incredibly fast! You have to have really good reflexes to time things right and react to the high speed sections. As for the night time stages, the Wherehog is just brutal! The combos you can dish out and how crazy powerful you get if you boost your strength. I haven't even leveled up Sonic or the Werehog all the way and it's just crazy (though I have maxed out one stat and obtained all the Wrehog's combos).

Also, the 360/PS3 version is sooo much better than the others, by far. Seen the Wii/PS2 version, and it's kinda half assed. Not to mention, they cut out two areas from it, the hub worlds are a bore (360/PS3 you can walk around and do much more), and it has too much of the Werehog, where the better version has it more like 50/50.

All in all, a great Sonic game and a step in the right direction future Sonic games. Here's hoping that the next one is even greater ^_^

Well, I'm off for now...going to get to work and finish the next chapter of the Union League! See ya then!
