Anticipation

Well I let that whiny post sit at the top for too long. About time to drown it in something positive.

I am so excited to go back to Ecola. I like to make myself even more excited just for the sake of being excited about something again - But then again, I don't really have to, because I'm way too overly excited in the first place. I'll head over there tomorrow instead of waiting until Sunday. I'm coming home!

I think I might want to move to the desert later. There's a certain solitude I find in the desert, I think it might be good. We drove through a little town in California called Borrego Springs where you can just pull off the road and go drive around in the brush and sand and dirt anywhere you want to. It's completely surrounded by a national park and allows you to camp anywhere within it, so it's all just open to go explore. That would be just the greatest. I'm looking forward to see what I'm going to do next summer and next year.

Meanwhile, I just bought an R4 for my Nintendo DS which allows you to load DS games in the form of roms onto it, so I can now have this huge library of games. Games I never thought I would enjoy: Space Invaders Extreme. Seriously, if you have a DS, you need to get this game - even if you don't particularily like Space Invaders - I didn't until I tried this.

Had a good drive around in the snow tonight, icey roads and whatnot. The Land Rover is still as good as ever. As we were heading home, the two cars ahead of me started sliding and swerving all over this steep hill we have to get up, so I pulled off the side a bit incase they started sliding down the hill toward me and I had no problem starting again on that slippery hill from an almost-stop when I saw them finally slide their way over the top. Power and control like that feels great.
