The Michael Swayne Story V: King of his Castle

It happened earlier today. I was sitting at my desk when a start sneezing. The next thing I know I feel pain in my lower back, right side. And since then, I can't get comfortable enough to sit down anywhere. I was fidgeting all through dinner to find a position that wasn't painful. I am only not in pain when I lie down. What makes it worse is that I have been sneezing more times than normal today. And every time I sneeze, the pain spikes for a second.

So, that's why I'm starting this entry earlier than normal. I am planning on either going to bed early, or playing the PS3 until I get tired enough to sleep and then going to bed. Then I would be entertained and not in pain.

The pain is one of the reasons why I didn't live stream today. That, and when I would log on to YouNow, there was always a line of people waiting to broadcast. And because I was in too much pain to write out a plan for the broadcast. I didn't want it to be like all those other people who just sit there in silence and look at the screen (because they forget to look at the camera). I want a plan of what will be said that way if I become one of those other people, I have something to fall back on.

In gaming news, I played Prince of Persia, Final Fantasy XIII, and attempted Catherine today. In PoP, I am searching for enough Light Seeds to get the next skill. In Catherine, I failed miserably at everything. And in Final Fantasy XIII, I am in my favorite place in the game, the Sunleth Waterscape. I love the theme for this area. And it is so beautiful. If I could live anywhere in any Final Fantasy world, I would want to live there. Maybe make a tree house and live there for the rest of my days.

Also, I bought some video games online last night. I bought Grand Theft Auto IV: The Complete Edition, The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion (GotY Edition), and Fallout 3 (also GotY Edition). The first is so my brother won't be so bored at home. And the other two are because I have played them both a little before, and want to finish them. I have more experience with Oblivion than I do Fallout 3. I remember leaving the underground bunker in the beginning, and then finding a clan of vampires (I think) in some sewer. As for Oblivion, I think I nearly finished the main story. When I played before, it was also the Game of the Year Edition that had the expansions with it. I attempted one of them (I can't remember which one), but I didn't like it so I stopped playing it and went back to the main story. Anyway, the games are all on their way and soon my brother will have something to play as well.

Moving on to work news, the Easter brochure has been sent to the printers. There will still be a final proofing online, but other than that, it is done. And the 'After the Game' menus will arrive tomorrow! I checked the Email and it had a UPS tracking number. I checked it and it will arrive tomorrow! I can't wait to see them, but I will have to because there is no way I will ride my bike to Cincinnati tonight.

So, tomorrow I am working in the office on the paper. Hopefully my back feels better in the morning. It should. It usually does.

Well, that's all for now. It's not too late right now, so I will play for a while. Hope to see you around the forums, and until then...

Later!

Michael
