Has it really been over a week since I've posted here? Well, my apologies for the delay – it's been a busy time for me over the last week, and I just haven't been able to find the time to write anything. I've meant to though, so hopefully I'll be getting back on track with this post. In the interest of everyone's time, here's a quick list of everything I've been up to over the last couple of weeks that has contributed, in one way or another, to my lag in blog posts:

• Met my brother at a bar and watched my dad play music for a few hours; I also saw a woman drop a cake straight onto the floor of a bar
• Took a trip to San Francisco for my work, got halfway there, and then realized my boss had texted me the night before to tell me the trip was off
• Worked on a game that you might just see on TV someday (hopefully!)
• Took another trip to San Francisco for my work, and was nearly late to the meeting because I followed my own directions wrong
• Worked on a redesign for my blog, scrapped it, then started working on it again
• Fixed a long-standing server bug in the Reflect system (thanks for the help, Matt!)
• Worked on a redesign for Reflect Games, scrapped it, then started working on it again
• Watched the two-hour long season premiere for Lost, and the hour-long preview before it
• Finished Fallout 3 (goody-two-shoes style)
• Went home to see my dad before he had to have a minor procedure done at the hospital (he's doing fine now, thankfully)
• Played some quality Team Fortress 2 with Yourself (alltalk servers are basically Skype on steroids, eh?)
• Finished Prince of Persia (need to play it again for achievements)
• Got my previous landlord to drop a bogus move-out bill after catching their cheating, and exposing it to them
• Released a Windows Vista/Windows 7 compatible version of Linked
• Began learning Visual Basic all over again
• Watched a few classic episodes of It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia with my mom
• Rediscovered my love for Joe Frank (an awesome radio show)
• Bought World of Goo on Steam
• Almost finished reading Lord of the Rings (I'm on page 947 now!)
• And probably a lot more stuff that I can't remember right now, due to the ever-growing fatigue I'm feeling from writing such a long list!

Anyway, you probably get the idea - I've been a bit busy. I'll try to get back on the blog a bit more this week though... I've got a lot of stuff I want to talk about, but which I just haven't had the time to organize into coherent sentences yet.

Thanks to everyone who continues to read my sparse posts - I appreciate it!
