TGIF

Thank God it is Friday. These past few weeks have been very taxing on me mentally and physically. But next week everything will be better. We are going down to 9 hours next week and Larisa is starting a new job as a Student Services Advisor. I am very proud of her.

With her getting this job it is lifestyle changing. No more worrying that my 50 hour work weeks aren't enough to pay the bills. No more having to bum meals from parents. This is the best thing to happen to us in a year. We look forward to tackling the credit cards and getting control of our finances now that we have more income. Debt free here we come. It is so good to have breathing room.

In WoW news my guild and I (Jon was there too) got all the way to General Vesax in Ulduar in one night. This seems like a trivial accomplishment, but for the brave few of us who sat down at our desk it was a good time and we were stoaked about.

Nerdgasm

So E3 was last week, and I must say there were a lot of very exciting games that were announced. Of them all I have to say the most exciting game annoucement (to me) was Metroid: Other M. Not only is is exciting that there is going to be a new Metroid game, but it is being developed by none other than Team Ninja the legendary team behind Ninja Gaiden. I hope that this will be a face-meltingly awesome game becuase I expect no less from Team Ninja.

In other nerd news, Million Man Lan is only 4 weeks away. It is Louisville's own sausage fest/LAN party. Me and Jon have made these a tradition to attend and this year should be the greatest one yet. Debra (Jon's Wife) is coming down and my wife (Larisa) is really excited. She is calling it Debrapalooza '09. She needs the company becuase she gets really bored and ends up calling me every 15 minutes (I love you, Larisa :P).

Also, Larisa is now a teacher at ATA Career Solutions and she is soon to be a Student Services Admin as well. I am very proud of her.

Josh, Out!

Long Time No Update

To be honest i thought that i would update this daily, but life can be hectic and not give you a chance to slow down for a while. I have found the last 3 weeks of my life as a blur. I have been working 50 hour work weeks and Larisa has been working on her new job as a teacher. So my time has been split between being there for her and fixing more laptops than i ever thought existed. Not to say that there has been no down time, just writing about my life and my thoughts did not come to the forefront of my mind when presented with some time to veg out. When your 2nd love (Larisa being my 1st) is video games, 3 weeks is an eternity to go without a digital fix, so i found time to play during these hecktic days. Larisa lovingly lets me play WOW with my best friend Jon 2 nights a week. I play WOW for 2 reasons 1.) it lets me keep in touch with Jon and have something in common with him despite the distance & 2.) it is a very fun game. I will try to update this weekly. Which is still more than i update my facebook :P
