It finally feels like Spring! Here’s what I’ve been up to lately…

Playing Assassin’s Creed 

I know I’m playing it late in the game but that’s how I roll. I wait for the price and the hype to level off before I buy my games. 

I like Assassin’s so far. The meta-play is the most interesting aspect of the game. I can’t think of another title that gives the player an explanation as to why he or she can control the movements and actions of a video game character. The game play is bordering on the repetitive mission-of-the-day-antics but the rich graphics and story line are keeping me engaged for now.

Hooked on Chelsea Mind Games

If your gaming habit has given you carpal tunnel syndrome then it’s time to revisit old school gaming and trivia. To give my tortured hands a rest, I stopped by Chelsea Market for the Mind Games Geography Bee in Manhattan. I had a good time and now I’m thinking of attending the upcoming Vocabulary Bee to make sure I sharpen my vocab muscles before classes start in the fall. 

Decisions, Decisions

I’ve also been thinking about the future a lot lately. I have big decisions to make. Where should I live? Should I get a roommate? Should I get another cat to keep me on my toes? Where will I end up in two years? Should I find an internship in California so I can finally learn how to surf? Or should I intern on the East coast and surf on the bunny slopes with Shaun White?

I have no idea. I do know that life is far sweeter when I refuse to settle for anything less than awesome.
