It's been a long time (but I'm going to get there)

You would think that being laid of in June would get me to blog more. Apparently not, though I'm reading the standard amount of webcomics when I am idle. Playing games on and off... I was on a second Fallout 3 bender, but I chewed up the DLC. Still no where near level 30, but I got the DLC late with my second character.

We got new bikes. We had needed new ones for a while, Ashley's was kaput and mine I kaputed. The only reason we could do this is our renewing of our lease, which gets us a free month of rent. Very nice, I think. The bus is also more expensive, this plus our idleness sold us on it.

Speaking of idleness, I've been playing phpDiplomacy some, and Kongregate games muchly. I'm half way to level 20. This in no way helps me in any of the games on Kongregate, but I'm a sucker for playing games to do other stuffs. 

The games on Kongregate mostly come from other web sites, but they help promote and even award cash for popular games. Armorgames and Kiwininja provide most of the dope shit, but Gemcraft is really all around one of the best core concepts for a tower defense. They need to up it to multiplayer and such, that's when it will get good.

Not to forget, there is the Casual Collective, and though they don't have a plethora of games, they have Desktop Tower Defense, and Desktop Armada, which are both fantastic. 

I have been reading, starting with Derek's copy of The Reader some time back, and when though The Complete Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy, Despereaux, and am now on Anna Karenina, though only a hundred pages or so. It's nice to read again, though still in fits and starts. I'm using though a lot, which means this is getting too ramblish. Yes, that is a word. Tis my word of the blog.
