Break was amazing!!!! It started with a amazing snow day were i walked to my friend teds house and hung out there for the day.  Then at night my family went to my parents friends house that was pretty fun, the guy collects pinball machines.  then on sunday and tuesday we had christmas with my family.  I got a few cds and two computer games(Rome: Total War and Mage Knight)  Rome total war is possibly the best RTS game i have ever played.  you play as 1 of the 3 ruling houses in the rome and u basically have to take over the world(not north america). The “campaign” mode is turned based were u build troops and do your politics, spend money, that stuff then the battles are all real time.  Its sweet the battles are actually strategy involved, and the troops march in a formation, so its not just mass chaos.  o i got another game space empires 5 thats another turned based game that is pretty cool.  On christmas day we did christmas with my family and my moms parents and i got a SWORD!!!!  Its like a real sword with folded carbon steel and a brass hilt.  Its sweet!!!!!  I got the dark night and prince caspian, and a few other small things.  From my grandma i got a cd and the book “The wizards first rule” which is easily in my top favorites.  Then on saturday my family went up to ludington to vist friends.  They have 5 girls all like 8 and under that love playing with me, my brother, and sister.  They cahsed us around there huge house and palyed tag and other things that little kids do.  That was also fun(if very tiring).  On tuesday i went to teds house at like 3 and ended up spending the night.  We played wow and the new guitar hero.  Then on wednesday i went home for like 2 hours then went to brians house for news year.  We spent the night and played wow call of duty, and guitar hero.  There was like 9 or 10 people there. I didnt sleep but i made it to level 30 on wow finally!!!!!! I got my riding mount to so that was sweet!!!  Then the rest of the week i just hung out, played computer, and read some books.  Great weekend!!!!!!!

This weekend was amazing, i walked in the house on friday and started to get ready for work, but my boss called and told me i had the night off.  It was sweet, so instead i went over to teds house and we just played some xbox 360 and wow(world of warcraft). I played wow most of the time, i started at level 21 and got to 23 on friday.  On saturday i slept in, woke up, got my haircut.  then my parents left to a christmas party and i just stayed at home and played on the computer.  On sunday i went to teds again and again, we palyed 360 and wow.  On got to level 24(and a half) before i had to go.  Then this morning my dad walked in my room and told me 2 hour delay, so that was just amazing.  Then i walked outside into the freezing cold weather and drove to school.  So all in all a great weekend!!!!!!

i have to work today but only from 4-9 so that shouldnt be all that bad.  Then ill come home maybe go on the computer or something then go to bed.  Saturday i can sleep in(finally), ill get up and i need to get my hair cut, then for the rest of the day im prolly just going to either hang out with friends, play a game on the computer or xbox, or maybe go shopping for christmas presents.  But either way it should be a pretty good weekend.

Then when we come back one more week till break!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

so break was pretty good, the relaxing, work, and definitely the food.  i had to work tuesday but it wasnt all that busy so i was able to go home pretty early, wednesday i i just relaxed, reading Lord of Chaos, or i was on the computer playing command and conquer 3 or sins of a solar empire.  Wednesday night my dad and i played that titan game, i eliminated my brother so hes out of the game till next time.  Thursday i woke up hungry cuz i knew in a few hours i would eating turkey, mashed potatos, gravy, stuffing, jello, and pies. That was pretty much the thursday. Friday was basically the same thing with my dads side of the family but i worked from 4 to 9.  saturday i worked 8:15am to 4p.m. but that was okay.  On sunday me and my family went to cut down a christmas tree.  Then it was monday, school again.

I already cant wait till christmas break!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Got a new game(board game) on sunday called titan.  Its a fantasy/mythological game where the point is to kill the other players titan.  You move around the board by rolling dice and following pathways which cross all over the board.  At each place you land you can recruit creatures, centaurs, orge, trolls, dragons, giants, behemoths, and many more.  Each creature has different power and skill levels that are relevant in the battles.  Me, my dad, and my brother are in the middle of a game, which we have already played for 4 hours and may go on for many more.  Its a very fun game that requires a lot of thinking and strategy.  And hopefully we will be able to finish it this long weekend.

On friday i went to Quantum of Solace at 8:10.  It was pretty good but lacked a story line like the previous Bond movies.  The main “story” was Bond getting revenge on the people who killed the girl in the pervious movie.  There was some sweet action scenes, the movie began with a car chase, followed closely by a foot chase.  There was also a boat chase later in the movie.  This movie didn’t have the humor of the other movies either.  Also there was no gadgets or any scenes with Q. But even after all that, the movie was still good and worth seeing, i just wish that it would have been more like the other Bond movies.

Im seeing Quantum of Solace at 7:35 tonight.  It looks amazing, i cant wait ill post how it was next week.

Fable 2 came out a couple of weeks ago.  It’s a pretty good game, alot better then the first one.  There’s a larger world, a better story line, and more side quests.  Also the thing that I like the most about it is that your “magic” never runs out.  I can’t wait to find out the ending!!!
