Tick Tock Tick Tock

So, I have to leave tomorrow for family incarceration. Don't get me wrong, I don't mind hanging out with my Mommy. Or my sister-in-law, Heather, but the rest of the family can be overwhelming. I don't know if it's residual animosity from adolescence, but there's always an argument brewing before I even step foot through the door.

Usually, the brothers can get me to play some War game on their XBOX (usually cause they need another player to complete the "mission") but I ALWAYS suck at it. I like my shoot em' up games a little more simple - shoot to the outside of the screen to reload, shoot the little weapon icon to switch from handgun to shotgun to machine gun, but their shit is soooo complicated. They got me pushing all these crazy buttons and I always end up going through my five "lives" within seconds it seems. Yeah, that's pretty much the extent of the brotherly bonding.

Ok, well, I'm dead now, I think I'll head into the kitchen and bake a cake or arrange something.

But, I digress, I've got so much to do, but so little time. My crux is that I've got a major event on the horizon in NYE, but I'm obligated to the family. I've said it before and I stand by it, families are a hierarchy, you drop whatever you're doing when you're summoned. It's not that I don't trust the team, they know how I like things and don't doubt their abilities, it's just NYE is hardly the time to put those abilities to a test.

Thank f'n GOD for Wi-Fi and my BlackBerry, that's all I'm saying.
