Things are finally looking up

Congratulations, Melvin! For finally landing a perm job :) It's been a gruelling 6 month search.

I'm so happy that he's managed to land a job despite the bad financial times. Naturally, the starting pay is not ideal - but it's better than nothing, considering all the retrenchment that's going on.

So Congratulations dearest!

And Happy 27th Birthday in advance too. You're getting old >.>

Melvin and I have started playing Fallout3 recently. The game gives me motion sickness =.= and it's a nice game, but I hate it. I don't dare explore new places because things are always shooting at my char. And I died 4 times yesterday in a span of 45 minutes. Once to a mercenary, once to a fire ant (Big ass fire breathing ants), once to a raider, and once to a blowfly (don't ask - i didn't notice it was shooting globs at me, alright?)

The only bit of the game I enjoyed is the portion BEFORE all hell broke loose and my Char had to ecape from the vault. i.e nothing to kill, and nothing scary coming after me.

As a result, I spent most of the time watching Melvin play, with the occasional scream of "Eeekk! Dear, behind you!" or "omg what's THAT". He swears I shorten his lifespan each time I grab his shirt and scream like that.
