He's dead Jim

Well THEY really. I chose wrongly...can killed an entire race. Not just a few, or even a lot but EVERYONE of them, the entire race. Yeah I restarted. Man, that was a pretty bad wrong decision. ME 3...yes you too can kill of an entire race just by picking the wrong text tree. Go me!

One down

Milestone that is. I have officially lost over 20 pounds since February 15th. I have many more pounds to go and my more milestones but I am definitely going in the right direction. I am now back to where I was 5 years ago. Once I add the exercise to the mix, things should move along quite well.

Soon

Looks like a big weight loss milestone is gonna hit on Friday. I suppose it will depend on how much butternut squash I eat tonite, but maybe. No processed foods in 6 weeks. No headaches. Pretty cool. Anyway, I am hoping for Friday. Feels good to be healthy or at least working on getting healthy.

I shall celebrate by playing many hours of Mass Effect. :)

Hey, it's Monday again!

And I still want to go home and play me some Mass Effect. 26 hours in and they are still throwing curves at me. Uh, what do you mean I can't dock at the Citadel?? Heh, didn't see that coming.

The short take so far is...while it may be true that the story is not quite as *compelling* as ME 1, it is certainly leading me to that massive battle for the salvation of the Universe from the Reapers, so yeah that works for me just fine.

I like the combat-I stick to a standard trooper and let my able companions use all those fancy powers. Works just fine- yeah I still die- it is hard but once you figure out tactics, it generally goes well. Just takes a couple of tries to get it right.

It's great running into old friends. The decisions you make really do change the game. And, ugh, another good friend died...it's sad really. I am sure I will lose more along the way- one was lost because I had no idea what the "right" choice was- I didn't tell her to do something, having no idea I should, although maybe if I thought it through, I would have chosen wisely. Anyway she ended up basically being assassinated. *sigh*

It's Monday at work and...

I want to go home and play hours of Mass Effect 3!! I have about 15 to 20 hours in so far and I still don't have my crew set yet. WTF 28 hours and people are finishing?? Seems like a huge waste to play that way. I have to feed my fish. My hamster needs attention and I need to figure out how to get Miranda on my ship. She is....well, I NEED her on my ship.

woot!

So the wife says, Emily and I are going out tonite. Gonna look for dresses and go out to dinner. Naturally this would normally make me sad- the dinner part anyway. Looks like I am stuck with fruit and boneless skinless chicken again. BUT, instead, I said..WOOHOOO HONEY YOU GUYS STAY OUT AS LONG AS YOU WANT, GO TO PARIS FOR THE WEEKEND, GET A HOTEL, WHATEVER ...LIVE IT UP AND ENJOY SPENDING TIME WITH YOUR DAUGHTER.

Of course, this means Mass Effect 3 will not be on headphones tonight, it will be 5 channel surround with HUGE BASE...oh the joy almost makes up for the fact that Taco Bell is finally releasing the Dorrito taco shell today.

Restart

Ok so the character generator is nice but unfortunately it has some issues- IE the character you make does not exactly resemble the character in game. It was really bothering me that my Shep had very cute but very buggy eyes. Anyway, fixed her up, and she is back to total hotness Femshep again. And it is kinda fun to torment Liara- she was Sheps love interest in ME1 and now Shep is kinda taunting her- do I still? Don't I? Oh I am gonna let that hang over us for a while. Unless Liara starts crying...then I will totally give in. Heh.

CT scan...fine other than old people shit on my stuff. Nothing major. Doc said they will do another scan in a year. Nice.

Grabbing Game of Thrones at lunch. Got the birthday gift card, and it is on sale at evil BB...so excited to finally see it.

And that is the state of things.

/goes off to ponder how to make Liara cry

2 Hours In

The Reapers came. End of days upon us. A child cries. Ah, it is good to be back on the Normandy.

Oops

So two ME3's are coming tomorrow. A CE and a regular-Amazon just got CE's in and it was too late to cancel my first order. But now, let me just say "WOOHOO for ME3 CE!!"

And I got SR The Third for my birthday along with 6 bobble heads from Oregon and the Tie Fighter lego from the kid. Oh and not to be forgotten, MERLIN (that horribly wonderful TV show) action figures!! LOL I now have a Gaius action figure.

CT scan of the kidney tomorrow. Doesn't really matter though because, well, I now have TOO MANY GAMES TO PLAY!!

Blah blah

BP normal, cysts on kidney, blah blaH.

MASS EFFECT 3 LAUNCH TRAILER IS OUT AND THE GAME WILL BE ON MY DOORSTEP ON TUESDAY! Hmm I do have a CT scan that morning- I could pretend it was horrible and it will take all day. heh.
