This weekend was exhausting, which is to say I was pretty much busy doing something for every waking moment. That and not sleeping. Between the rain hitting the metal roof and the constant snoring (from two to three people. I could feel the vibrations through the floor and my bed. It was crazy.)there was plenty of noise to keep me awake. Then the fan in my laptop decided to go psycho. It's kind of creepy when you wake up in the middle of the night to what sounds like heavy breathing right next to your bed.
But I did have fun. I got to spend roughly four days with more of my extended family (though not my immediate family. My brother was tied up with work and didn't manage to make it down). I had the chance to further refine my potato salad recipe. My limited German was put to the test because my Opa would randomly insert German words into his sentences or just flat out answer in German. "Where's the Maggi?" *Long string of German words* "Right... Thanks." It is nice to know, however, that I can understand at least enough of it to get the gist.
While I was at FHB I gave Fable 2 a whirl. Now, I really liked Fable: The Lost Chapters (for computer, I was playing Fable 2 on the xbox 360) and I must say I was a little disappointed by this sequel. I will still finish it just for the story, but the game play seems very simplified and the magic system is pretty terrible compared to the first. Oh, speaking of disappointments... Dungeon Siege 3. EPIC FAIL. It might have been good on a console, but the computer version has many, many issues.
On the flip side, Mass Effect 2 (yeah, yeah, I FINALLY started playing it) is freaking amazing. I will probably end up playing through it multiple times when I have more free time just to further explore the options. I also can't wait to get back into the Starcraft 2 competitive scene. This past year I didn't play much of it, just swiftly rose to high gold then stopped, but after watching the dreamhack SC2 finals, I'm really excited to climb as high as I can. I would start now, or at least practice since the end of season 2 is just around the corner, but I lack the proper internet connection.
Anyways, I digress. This weekend. Being Far Far Away, it doesn't actually get dark enough for fireworks, so we had to forgo that part of the 4th celebrations. Instead, my family pulled out a plethora of handguns and rifles and many rounds were fired. I was planning on making red velvet cupcakes and then decorating them with blue and white frosting, but I managed to completely forget about it. To make up for it, I am currently baking a batch of those lemon muffins so we can have cake for breakfast. Because let's face it, muffins are just an excuse to have cake first thing in the morning.
While I was in Little City, I picked up a mini-muffin tin, so I'm making dozens of these bite-sized little things. I'm thinking they will be perfect for the girls. ^_^ Also, I can bring them into the clinic and all the people I work with won't have to feel quite as guilty about eating one. I swear 3/4 of the people there are on diets. >.> My only regret is that I only picked up one of the tins, because it's taking a rather long time...
I haven't posted for a while mainly because I haven't really had anything to post about. Practically nothing new has happened in the clinic, we've had almost no ambulance runs, and yeah. The only thing of note is that I'm helping one of the doctors here pass the test for his Wisconsin license. Hehehe. To be fair, he really doesn't need my help, he just has a LOT of bad luck (or karma) accumulated. And honestly, some of those questions are a bit tricky, especially the legal questions. O.o
