Kind of a long birthday

“When you shall say, "As others do, so will I. I renounce, I am sorry for it, my early visions; I must eat the good of the land, and let learning and romantic expectations go, until a more convenient season." — then dies the man in you;” - Ralph W. Emerson
I turned 22 on the 16th. Only thing to really close it off will be a trip to the arcade but the three times trying have ended up badly. Have to see this coming weekend..
Still, I got Goldeneye 007 for the N64; the second game I've ever played in my life actually. I haven't even seen it since 2006 or 7; not long since I was first introduced to video games in general. I was a little disappointed playing, that I didn't see the blood and such that I remembered making me so excited as a kid, but I enjoyed playing it enough. The only major game I now miss from the old collection (of about 5 games but well, it is a collection for us) is Donkey Kong 64.. I still need to set up my Gamecube too, so maybe I can this week or weekend.
Another thing major that I got was two documentaries; Lost in Castles' history and computer-recreation of two castles in Wales; Rhuddlan and Conwy. I absolutely loved the one on Middleham that I got a few years ago, so I had been putting these two on-list for a year now. What I really want to do is get my dvd player set up this week or weekend with the Gamecube. Then I can watch both and take notes. Also need to finish that course on the Late Middle Ages dvd as well.. (yeah I can use my Xbox-360 but I don't trust it because it's had lots of problems reading dvds the last few years, some coming out scratched so I don't trust if with dvds anymore, just games and that damn thing still fucks it up by overheating so quickly)
I am a bit sad that the summer passed by without travel (not that it isn't new, and it is more justified than usual but still). I was looking forward to Ohio. My mom said that she's open to going during winter or spring, and my dad is thinking about a hiking day-trip. I'd hope I get to go somewhere nice sometime soon.
I'd hope you all are doing well enough. 83
