Well, the end of a short week is almost over. Just had to work Monday through Wednesday this week as Thursday & Friday I get off for Thanksgiving. First job I've had where I didn't have to request off for Black Friday. Not that I'm really going to go shopping, but you know how it is...just good to be off.

I played more of Knights of the Old Republic last night. Got to the part where I kept dying last time I had the game and what do you know, I died again, heh. Oh well I think I can pull it off this time. I hope I can anyway. The game is fun, but as I was talking with LJ yesterday, the combat mechanics are a bit off in the game. Not so much in a horrible, unplayable way, they should just be a lot better. KoTOR II apparently fixed that, but I want to beat this game first. I've decided to go Light Side, at least this time through, maybe I'll end up going through a second time as Dark Side as there is actually a different arc if you do, but I don't know just yet. I'll be bringing my hard drive, and some games home for Thanksgiving so I'll probably get more time to push onward over the 4 day weekend.

I started working on the redesign of my website last weekend. So far it's coming along pretty well. Blog portion is nearing completion and the photo section is a work in progress. No time table as to when it will go live yet though. It's a big step from the current version and in my opinion, I think its a good deal better. Like I said though, it's a work in progress as I'm pretty much starting the whole thing from scratch. Keeping a few functions from this version as its simply easier, but overall, its a big overhaul.

I ended up failing the FBI exam, and one would actually think I'd be disappointed, but suprisingly enough I'm not. I was actually on the fence about it, whether I wanted to make the committment, etc. so I guess I just feel that it's a sign and it's all for the best. It definitely seemed like a good job, just not sure if I could deal with all the committments and time that would be required. I'm definitely glad I gave it my best shot and tried, but am actually somewhat relieved now. I can try again in a year or so if I change my mind so no harm no foul.

I'll be home til at least Saturday, possibly Sunday. Longest stint at home for a while. Not a bad thing at all, will be good to see the family again. Hell, we'll have a full house for the first time since who knows when. Philip, Julianne will also both be home from College. Julianne's not so much a suprise as she's only in Maryland, but Philip's trip from New Hampshire is a long one so, well I guess it's not much of a suprise either, but definitely a harder trip to take.

Happy Thanksgiving everyone!
