The Michael Swayne Story V: King of his Castle

When I woke up this morning, I seriously debated on actually going to Sinking Spring and delivering the newspapers. The sky looked ominous and I didn't want to get caught in a storm. So I figured I'd instead go at 10am instead of the usual 8am. While I was watching the latest EYK live chat, Dad came over and offered to take me to Sinking Spring. He was going anyway to drop off the dump truck he and my brother were working on. I guess I lucked out and didn't have to ride in the rain after all.

However, just seconds before Dad came to my room, I went into a coughing fit and some of my breakfast came up with it. I didn't have time to change, so I wiped it off as best I could and sprayed Febreeze on my clothes until I was soaked. I could already smell it when we were leaving town, so I opened the window and aired out the cab of the truck.

My brother showed me his new cigarettes today. I remarked that the box looked fancy. He is smoking those Marlboro NXT cigarettes now. He said that at the push of a button they would change to menthol flavor, and showed me the button. I am amazed at the level of technology that goes into everything nowadays, even cigarettes come with buttons. He said that he chose them because they are cheaper than his former brand, which to him means he can afford more cigarettes. My attempt at convincing him to quit smoking fell on deaf ears.

I was bored today, so I made invoices showing the amounts of money people owe me. Since sharing this information vocally seems to not do any good, I figured a professional-looking document might be better. I should work on an image to go in the top-left corner to truly make it great. Anyway, it already seems to work, because my brother is paying for my portion of the electric bill in order to make up for what he owes me.

Today I played Skyrim, and I really like the main story. Dragons and spies, vampires and covert operations, it's cool. I am trying to focus on the main quest line, and for the most part I am doing well. I earned the trophy for getting all three words of power for Unrelenting Force. Now I just have find the other words that go with the ones I already have. While I'm doing that, I have to go and sneak in to some party the Thalmoor are having.

Well, tomorrow I am planning for a day full of gaming fun. I hope to see you around the forums and until then...

Later!

Michael
