I have a bunch of little news.  Bullet points seem appropriate.

• Thanks for all the Christmas Tree names.  So many names.  A few really good ones in there.  Bagel has managed to remove half the balls from the trees (or at least has been framed by Muffin).  Picture above depicts our tree en-route to our house.
• I’m playing Super Mario Bros Wii right now.  So far… so good!  I love me the Mario.  I just beat the first dungeon of World 3.  I have 55 lives.  I’m going to survive I think.
• My game (working title FlipSide) has had a bit of a changeup.  The game as it stood wasn’t going the way I planned.  I have instead decided to simplify the game down to something a bit less complicated.  The game (before it got changed) was a minigame compilation of rapid-fire games that each had two goals (for example, in one game you were chasing and the next you were being chased).  That’s great and all, but it doesn’t work very well at all since 5 second long gameplay doesn’t cater to understanding and beating AI.  It’s too fast, too complicated for such small bites.  Instead I have decided to make things a bit easier on the mind; simpler, swifter, faster.  Objectives are off/on challenges… you either do the challenge or you don’t do the challenge, depending on what the game tells you to do.  The game is much more fun, trust me.  Should be done this week.
• Took my motorcycle class this evening.  I am not planning on any sort of bike or ride yet… just taking the class.  Took it with Dan, I’ve got my practical riding on Saturday and Sunday.
• Dr. Pepper shortage at the office.  Frowns.
• Christmas shopping.

Have a good Wednesday/Thursday!
