The Michael Swayne Story V: King of his Castle

I had a bit of scare over the weekend. Carma's daughter said that she wants to move back in. This put me in a bit of panic, because I didn't know whether or not I would still be allowed to stay. I mean, if she moves in, then there isn't any reason for me to stay, because she can do everything I can. Plus, she has two kids, and that would mean it would be a bit more cramped in here. Anyway, over the weekend I was nervous, waiting for Carma to tell me to pack my stuff.

But that moment never came. She said that it won't be until after New Year's Day, because that's when she'll be able to get the protection order taken off. Until then, I will be cleaning up the upstairs rooms and getting them ready for them to come. I will be allowed to stay. The whole situation also made Mom get nervous as well. She was worried I would kicked out and with no place to go.

Moving on...

Luca is pregnant. She is really putting on the weight. So, it's only a matter of time until there will be puppies running around the yard.

The fifth season of the Trophy Hunters League has started. My opponent is the Australian gamer jarethgeason. So far, I am in the lead with a score of 6-0. This season is also the start of a single-elimination tournament linked with the 9-match league. In the tournament, my first round opponent is Mah2c, one of the players I faced during Season 4. Or rather, one of the players I gave a win to during Season 4. Anyway, in that match, I am currently in the lead 6-3.

And then for my own enjoyment, I am keeping track of the player's scores and compiling them for a country vs. country comparison. You know, seeing which country scores the most on average. I even went back through the older season's to see which countries performed the best. Here's what I found:

It's not like it really matters. It is just something I'm doing for the fun of it.
