Updates

Yes, I've been very slack on my blogging. I'm going to try to do better. Yes, I have written that before. More than once. That said, here's a few random updates.


First, I'm back to exercising regularly again, which I really, really need to be doing. At the moment I'm doing 45 minutes a day on my exercise bike. I've been doing my workouts just about every day for a couple of weeks now, only missed two days so far. Also, I have a kind of cool idea for how to chart my progress, which I plan on adding to my blog soon, but I'm not going to tell you what it is yet. So there!

Our dogs have really been killing us with the vet bills this year. The latest problem is with Scout. Poor little pooch. I was playing with him the other day and noticed a really large mass in his chest area. It really scared the crap out of me because it was huge and I'd never noticed it before. We took him to the vet, and he is fine, it's not cancerous or anything. Well, he's not entirely fine, because the vet suspected he might have hypothyroidism. They checked for it and sure enough, he has it, so now he has to take Soloxine twice a day.

Oh, and I got a new toy recently ... an Xbox 360. I love it. I know Microsoft is evil and all, but this thing is sweet. So far I've mostly played Forza Motorsports 2. I don't have a steering wheel yet, which is my excuse for getting schooled the couple of times I decided to try Xbox Live. I also got Battlefield: Modern Combat but haven't played it too much. I've played quite a few FPS's on PC's, and maybe that's a bad thing, because I'm having a hard time adapting from using a trackball to using the Xbox controller. Hopefully I'll get the hang of it eventually. BTW, I'm shriekingmonkey on Xbox Live.
