Blog Fu

My blog fu is weak these days, as Gunnar would say. There’s actually several topics that I want to write about, like Gears of War 2 (which I finished a couple of weeks ago), Resistance 2 and The Reader. I started working on BBelief2008 again and, with a couple of month’s perspective, realized what a monster that level is. I just haven’t found the time and energy to post. Part of the reason is that I changed my work routine. I’m not taking my laptop to the office anymore and strictly use my work computer for…well, work stuff. So there’s no time to scribble down things during a lunch break, for example. It makes for a more concentrated and efficient work experience without distractions, but often results in me not wanting to touch another computer when I get home in the evening. I usually opt for doing something with Victoria (or turning on the PS3 or 360) instead. It certainly demonstrates how little I really need the internet during the day. Checking CNN.com or your personal email once is informative. 20 times per day not so.

I figure I’ll get back to regular posting soon, just need to shake off the lethargy. In the meantime, I’d like to give a few shoutouts:

• To Victoria, who just gained another year of wisdom and beauty.
• To Grant and Virginia, who decided to get married.
• To Gaurav and Summer, who did get married last years and who are now expecting a baby.
• To Kerstin and Olli, who had a baby
• To my brother Guido and his fiancee Sarah, who (almost) set their wedding date for this summer.

Gonna be a busy year! I guess I should get ready… And post about it when things come to pass.
