New Year…

Wow, it’s been six months since my last post…

I wish I could say that it’s because I’ve been so busy, but really I’ve just been gaming a lot.

Let’s see, in the Major Life News Department:

1) My newest divorce was final in the beginning of August…

2) Found and lost a new girlfriend in a mere six week’s time. (I wish I could say that was a record)… :-p

3) I got hired on permanently at my job, and got the accompanying medical benefits and 401K etc…

4) I’ve seen How To Train Your Dragon approximately 20 times since it came out on DVD…  That’s in this important department primarily because it’s the first non-Pixar movie to achieve a Pixar-level emotional response from me. One of the biggest surprises of the year and my #1 of the year. Yep, better than Kick-Ass and Scott Pilgrim…

On the figure front, not much to report. I’m getting three Japanese Halo: Reach figures which I WILL be reviewing when I get them. Sneak Preview:

Finally: New Year’s resolutions…

I’ve thought long and hard about these, and some of them may sound odd, but they are very important to my health and overall well-being.

1) Finish acquiring my home theater system. The fact that I’m so far behind the curve though I’m such a movie/anime/gaming geek continues to mystify me.

2) Stay the hell away from women other than as friends. After four divorces and countless girlfriends, I’ve decided to officially retire from the “game of love” as Queen called it… For the first time in my life, I am not swimming in excruciating pain. I know who I am and can accept myself as I am. I have great female friends that are fairly positive influences on my life AS friends. I think I’m going to stick with that…

And that’s it! I think I can accomplish these pretty handily. Well, one of ’em for sure…

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!  =D
