On my mind

  Few things other than moving on my mind at the moment. First thing is the number of dreams my wife is having about me leaving her. A bit worrying for her but I know it will never happen. I'm trying to console her about it and make her feel secure which is about all I can do really. It doesn't help that I wake up and leave for work before she does so she has to wake up with nobody next to her in bed. At least on weekends she usually wakes up before me so knows I am right there with her.

  I tried out a game demo last night on recommendation of pretty much everybody that I listen to the opinion of about games. XCOM Enemy Unknown was the game and it was very good. A mix of strategy game and turn based tactical battles during an alien invasion of earth. The fact that it comes from the same guys that did the very good Civilization games helps, look forward to maybe getting the full game in the future.

  Also been watching lots of new TV as the new seasons start up. Along with things we already like returning there is quite a lot on the Tivo nowadays. A couple of new comedies for us to watch and some new drama type things. Might drop one or two of them, not always through choice with stuff having the potential to be cancelled, but most of it is pretty decent. Also stuff that returned is looking to be at least be up to par of where they were so we are continuing to watch them. A couple of shows have soldier types in them and my wife was sorely disappointed there were no cute guys in uniforms in them. Come on TV people, there is a certain actor that I'm sure my wife would greatly appreciate getting some work. Also its kind of scary how stupid skinny lots of women on TV are but then again whats new. Kind of depressing for those of us who like women to have actual figures.

  What else? Neighbours are being noisy doing some work on the house. It better not go on too long, they should be finished with it from the peek I took yesterday. They have been digging up and relaying a concrete patio that was lifted up by a tree they also chopped down. Lots of banging and sawing as you could guess. Seems to be roughly over with though. Also saw a car parked on the driveway this morning so they might be close to moving in or actually moved in, can't quite tell. Other than the work though they have been quiet, you can't tell they are there in the evening (not something that could be said about gobzilla across the road).

  Right, off to see what else I can do today about moving house. Feeling a bit more hopeful now, think something will actually move at more than a snails pace very soon.
