Round 1 of holidays survived!
Nov. 28th, 2005 12:17 pmMy folks got to met HTB's mom. It went well, and they all got along! Even the embarassing/amusing stories about various childhood antics & escapades got trotted out.
HTB didn't get the local job. :( The company he interviewed with (via the employment agency) evidently never made up their minds on the whole thing. So I suppose there's still a (small microscopically tiny) chance they could make a decision and he'd get the job.
So, HTB drove back to Idaho on Friday afternoon/evening after lunch with our folks. He has a temp job there until the end of January. Once that's over though I think he's going to finally move in with me for good [& hope to god that it'll really happen]. Some things just can't be fully expressed or communicated over the phone. One of those things for me is my dissatisfaction/unhappiness at the long-distance portion of our relationship. He's said (in not quite so many words) that living/staying with me the past 3 weeks and being able to discuss things in person and see me & my reactions & feelings has helped him better understand how strongly I feel about the distance.
I've been wishing lately for science & technology to develop a way to psychically/telepathically link brains. Some things are a heck of a lot easier to verbalize than others.
In other news I've recently become enamored with a newly acquired video game (for my PS2). Game is Dark Cloud 2, it's a fabulously entertaining rpg. Not quite as good as Kingdom Hearts, but very close. Though it's very much a different style of game, and not super comparable. ( way more details than anyone wanted to know )
I'm eagerly & (so far) patiently awaiting the release of Kingdom Hearts 2!
I have plans to finally purchase a new computer in February. My current computer is pushing 6 and a half years old. I've maxed out the RAM and added a CD burner, but it's been at the exteme end of its useful lifespan for quite some time now.
I'm gonna get something that will let me play Sims2! :D My current computer is too ancient to even think about trying to play that game. Sims2 should keep me sufficiently occupied for quite a while.
I thought hard about putting the PS2 version of Sims2 on my Christmas list, but then I learned that one of the *many* modifications they made from the PC version was the removal of the whole aging concept and I think they removed children altogether.
Um. 'xcuse me? That's the whole appeal of the game. Otherwise it's just the same thing as the old one in a prettier spiffier package.
You'd think I'd remember that updating works better when I do shorter entries more frequently. :p
Goals for this week include lots of cleaning up. I want to be totally ready to put up Christmas decorations next weekend!
I think I'm going to wait until Dec 1st to bring in my Christmas CD's to work.
