The Michael Swayne Story V: King of his Castle

There is a big steamroller parked in my driveway right now. They were paving the road today, and used the driveway as a parking lot. I don't mind. After all, if it makes the road better, then it's worth the grass being squished for a little while. I am just glad that my sister wasn't here. Last year when they used the driveway, she flipped out on them for not asking permission. Anyway, it's funny because the driver left the flashing lights on when he left. I didn't notice because our wood pile blocks it from the front porch. One of my uncles came by and turned them off when he noticed them flashing. He considered leaving them on, just to teach the driver a lesson for his carelessness. Though it would give my brother some business, it's easier to just be nice and turn them off.

Itsy's itsies are becoming quite the explorers. And they are also very good at climbing already. They climb up onto the front porch by hopping on the thick leaves of the flowers. And they willingly climb up on me when I would sit on the porch. All three of them are little roly-polies and let me rub their tummies. Itsy Bitsy doesn't mind. She seems happy that they aren't bothering her as much. I haven't named them yet. I am actually not sure I should name them now. Most likely, I will give them away. It wouldn't be right for me to name them. I will know for sure soon.

I spent the day playing games and watching anime. Right now, I am watching Shion no Ou, currently at episode 20 of 22. It focuses on shogi, a game similar to chess. Though I am a big fan of chess, this show doesn't make me want to try playing shogi. It doesn't seem as complicated as mah jong, but the show plays it out to be too long of a game for me to stay interested. Although, a shogi set would be a nice collection, and they are cheaper than mah jong. Maybe I will get one for Christmas.

For information on what I played, and the newest game I received, you'll have to check out my most recent gaming blog entry at michaelswayne.blogspot.com.

Well, that's all I have for now. I will be finishing the anime tonight, and will spend tomorrow playing, turking, and choosing which anime to watch next. I hope to see you around the forums, and until then...

Later!

Michael
