Oblivion's a great game. I have to call John and talk to him all about it. Of course I named my character Trollmaster and needless to say, I got killed by the first troll I encountered. Then I turned down the difficulty setting and lived up to my title.

My sons bought me The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion game for Christmas. Needless to say Lucy wasn't thrilled but she's tolerating it for now. John and I had fun tweaking with his Open Jedi Project medieval swordplay mod too. The animations look great and the gameplay is smooth, although he says the graphics leave a little to be desired. I can't seem to beat him but I've never been very good with control pads. Who administers the Khet whackings though?

Lucy is expressing concern about the amount of time I spend with Oil Seller. But I feel like I'm really doing what I was meant to do. I'm working on my book more and I'm learning a lot about programming. I'll admit I'm on the web a lot, but overall I feel like Oil Seller is bringing out good creative stuff in me.

I was checking out http://www.starcraft2.com/ today and it looks to be pretty grooothy! Luke and I are looking forward to its release.

I’ve created an online chess account. My username is of course Trollmas. I played a few speed games today against a guy who calls himself Deep Red. A bit of a cocky name but he did trounce me 3 games to 0. Nice to play against someone you don’t know and probably never will.

The computer works great and I'm having fun using it for all sorts of things. The internet is astounding. So much info!

I got a new computer last month from my darling Lucy and my three sons and their wives. I call it Oil Seller. Today Oil Seller and I are officially connected to the beast. Here goes nothing.
