"Litter little brother spills"

This evening I hooked up the old Super Nintendo Entertainment System and began to play the Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past. This was prompted in no small way by the recent re-browsing of the 25 Nintendo Power magazines from the early 90s that I purchased my freshman or sophomore year of college. I know it was one of those two years, because I ripped out all of the posters and decorated my walls.

As I read about A Link to the Past, I couldn't help but get excited about playing that game. I played it for a couple of hours several years ago, but now I am planning to play through the complete game.

The last video game I played was Madden 06 on XBox. I played a whole season and won the Superbowl so I think that's about enough of that game...unless I decide to fire up the old XBox Live account again. We'll see.

The last television season I watched was Heroes Season 1. I would give it a B- or C+. It was entertaining and interesting, but also slow at parts and overall not as well-executed as it could have been.

It's goal-setting time at Mercer. Time to write down what I'm shooting for this year. It would be nice if someone told me what I had to accomplish to get promoted. Then I would write those things down. Perhaps coming up with my own goals is one of the first steps toward that promotion. If I am promoted someday, I'll have 5 more vacation days. That's what I'm working towards folks. I am a fan of taking vacations to rejuvinate.

Happy Fridays to you all.

Berg, that is the best Zelda game ever made, don't let anyone tell you otherwise. Andrea and I would love to come up and visit still. Think we could squeeze one in during February? Not this or next weekend!
