There’s a reason for my somewhat sparse posting.

And it’s this:

That’s Fable 2. It’s a video game for XBOX 360. And I can’t stop playing it. Neal bought it on a whim for me when he bought Grand Theft Auto IV. Well, now I need an intervention. Now, I’m not what you call “a gamer,” so I have no idea how this game compares/rates to other popular games. I don’t care. All I know is that I love this game. There’s so much to do! There’s quests to win, weapons to find, people to marry, people to give the finger to, gargoyles to shoot, bandits to kill, and the list goes on. Oh man. So much to do, so little time.

My only issue is that my character is a little overweight. I went a little overboard at the beginning of the game, eating steak, cheese and apple pie. Well, little did I know that these all gave me “fat” points. Well, before I knew it, I was a complete heifer and looked atrocious in my corset. I had like three chins. So, now my character is on a strict diet of celery, carrots and apples. She’s still got a little chub, but a lot of guys still want to marry me, so I guess I can’t look too bad.

I got this cool sword and just uncovered a really awesome gun that shoots the heads off of bandits and hobbes (they are little troll-like things). It’s great. I also have a lot of money, a husband and a kid. The kid is kind of annoying though because it’s his birthday like every five minutes and I have to travel 30 hours across this ancient fictional world to give him a stupid ragdoll. Jeez. Damn offspring.

So anyway, I’m working on this addiction. I think I’ll be OK. I have a decent-sized to do list this weekend, so you guys better hold me to it! I can’t play Fable 2 all weekend!
