Hi everyone. So far things are going really well. There's been some adjustments, but so far no major blow-ups over anything. Which is good, I guess.

Oh, there's been some interesting stuff going on. I've already snapped at the landlord since some of the scum he allows to live here like to blare their radio at window-vibrating volumes at all hours of the night. He finally just told me to call the cops, which I will do gladly from now on. The landlord is not going to like having me as a tenant. We pay our rent, we keep the property up, and in return he has certain responsibilities. But like most landlords he doesn't really give a shit about that as long as he gets his money.

We had to send the 360 off to get serviced. We hadn't even had it for 3 weeks. I guess we wore it out. I'd been spending my time between Sonic Unleashed (nothing like the PS2 version for those who don't know) and SoulCalibur IV. I like the SoulCalibur game well enough but it's create-a-character is nowhere near as good as SoulCalibur III's if you ask me. There's not nearly enough choices for clothing, although granted I haven't really unlocked a lot yet. And it seems a little silly to have Yoda in the game. (Yes, I bought Vader too.) But overall it's pretty good. It has a lot of female characters which sells me on any fighting game, although I worry about the "equipment destruction" feature, which basically allows clothing to be ripped to show battle wear if you take enough hits in an area. Some of those women don't have enough clothes on to mess up.

The church is showing some video called "New World Order Rising" which basically proclaims Obama is the Antichrist. Now, not that I care for Obama (if he's done anything besides kiss terrorist ass and spend money like he'd gotten it out of Monopoly games I missed it) but in my opinion church is no place to be showing videos like that. They're also whining about a bill that would make preaching against homosexuality a hate crime. "They're going to come in here and tell us we can't preach against queerness!" Good, then maybe I won't have to listen to you ranting and raving about it anymore! No matter what the service is about, I swear, sooner or later it turns into an anti-gay rant. The world is getting crazier and crazier all the time and all the preacher's worried about is what people do in their bedrooms. As long as it's between consenting adults, I say, we have other things to worry about in the world.

Writing's been coming along OK but I can't focus on any one story long enough to really do anything with it. Hopefully I'll have something else posted soon.
