Equipping our Saints for Service

Can I be honest?

I haven't been here in a while. I haven't been anywhere.

I got my hands on a Gamecube game called "Harvest Moon: Magical Melodies" to evaluate as a learning tool and got hooked.

This game is the new crack. It does have some educational value, although I prefer "Harvest Moon: A Wonderful Life" (or "Another Wonderful Life" the girl version) for gamish realism. But it is addicting to the point of obsession for me.

Of course, seeing my doppleganger run, jump, ride horses, and just generally do all the things I can't is very satisfying, albeit vicariously. "Living" in a town that isn't overpopulated with angry people, smog and tornadoes is peaceful. Watering and harvesting crops, something I've longed to do since childhood, is fulfilling.

I might have to go cold turkey.

We don't have any video games here. Not because we have taken a huge stand against them, but because I am a game freak! I would never get anything done. When we are visiting friends and they have game cube you can hear me saying, "just one more time!"

Oh. :( You sound like you aren't adjusting very well. Of course, it doesn't sound like I would do that great there either. I remember when we lived in The City that I never did adjust, just endured.

On the other hand, the game sounds terrific. I guess I'd better stay away from it. LOL
