May 3rd

Again I need to write more frequently but with demands of work and school and the gym (not really a demand but it can be seen that way) its tough at the end of the day to sit down and feel inspired to put some words into the vast wilderness of cyberspace.

Having been chosen by my CMA group to write the first 10,000 words of the Board Report has been a somewhat daunting task with the weight of responsibility to come up with something half decent. But I am up to the challenge. 3 weeks of writing and I am almost done. Another 1,000 words or so and I had it off to the next writer. It will be interesting to see whether any changes or editing work alters the first draft in any meaningful ways.

Just getting over a rather tough battle with a lung infection. Just when I thought it went away it came back although in slightly milder form. Not fun esp when one has demands and responsibilities to others. Some things just require immediate attention irrespective of whether or not one feels ill or otherwise.

GTA 4 came out earlier in the week and I must say given the time I waited for the game I have only played 20 minutes in total - watched the opening credits and did two missions. Playing will come later when the draft is finished. Delayed gratification? Something of that order. But its the GTA game that was meant to be made. Finally it seems the technology caught up to expectations. Now what will Rockstar and Take Two do for the next installment.........?

Till next time............
