But last night it sure felt like we were in Kansas! Tornados, lightening and rain all around where I live. I left my Dad’s store at 6:05 last night under HEAVY and I mean EXTREMELY HEAVY lightening, rain and wind.

Driving home I was literally “right next to” lightening several times and at one point it was so close my car actually got pushed to the should of the road from the sonic boom. That one had to of been at least 2-3ft wide. My radio went dead with static, and it felt like every piece of hair was standing up on my body. Was very frightening yet very interesting at the same time.

When I finally pulled into my drive lane that leads to my house, the radio cut out and broke in with tornado warnings for a few miles away from my house. My Dad is outside the house powering up the generator just in case and we all bunker down in the living room watching the TV for updates.. About a mile from my house the tornado turns and heads away from our house. A close call. In the mean time, at my dads store, a tornado touched down just ACROSS the street at the gas station. Wasnt a big one, but the other store owners that were still open said it was eery watching it “vacuum” the area and suck signs and debri up into the sky and have it land a couple feet away only to be sucked up again.

Sure was fun but I wouldnt do it again or for a living (ala no storm chasing in my future).

If you are a fan of “The Sims”, you are absolutely going to love version 2.0.  The Sims has a complete graphical overhaul, the ability to age and grow old and make anew, and so much more.

  I could not wait to get home from the store after purchasing it and almost landed me a speeding ticket.  Luckily I took my eyes off the box long enough to see the coppers sitting at the bottom of the hill.  After a short drive that seemed to take FOREVER, I rush into my computer room and slam my newly purchased game into the drive.

 Now, a fair warning for the impatient (read: ME).  The install takes a good while, however, they give you a neat little “memory” game and trivia game to play while its installing.  Albeit, not a good enough distraction, considering what you are installing.  Finally after the install, I got to load into the game and all I can say is WOW.  That sums up the immense beauty and elegance of this game.  Was definately worth the $50 I had stashed for my eye exam. 

If you have doubts and loved 1.0, do not delay, do not pass go, go directly to your nearest gaming store and BUY 2.0!

 A great day it is.  A wonderful day.  I was accepted into the SWG JTL Beta.  Yup.  The space expansion beta.

From first experiences, I have to say, this expansion is going to kick major ass.  I am not allowed to say much but I will say that this makes SWG truly Star Wars.  The game did not feel complete without this and now I feel its truly Star Wars.  I loved flying in my Rebel fighter taking out Imperials and Smugglers.  I loved making my own ship.  I just am never going to be on land much after this expansion comes out.
