Still alive

Still crazy busy.

Interviewed two people so far for the PM position. One decent candidate, one very strong candidate. Position is still open as of now though so let me know if you're interested.

I was about finished with Medieval: Total War. My Spaniards were mopping up the last of the Egyptian rebels. Spain spanned across the width of Africa. We were eating paella in Cairo. It was a beautiful thing.

Then the gutless French bastards, my long-time allies I might add, launched a surprise attack on my northern province of Aragon. A quick redeployment of the African Expeditionary Force smashed them back into France but the bloody Pope told me to stop attacking their poor Catholic selves or face excommunication. With much grumbling the Spanish forces withdrew to Aragon.

But a short two turns later what should happen but the French got themselves excommunicated for their relentless assault upon the Brits. Woo hoo! Free for all time. Married off a daughter to the English crown, relaunched the attack into France and the Froggies have been folding between my hammer and William's anvil ever since. It's a beautiful thing.

I'm about 400 posts behind in my blog reading. Ouch.

1 I probably will regret asking, but . . . can you still . . . uh . . . buy this game? Because if you can, I'm thinking maybe I should. I mean "SHOULDN'T." Yes, that's what I meant. I've given up playing computer games in order to be more productive, see.

2 Damned skippy you can still buy it. For only about $8 now, too.

3 My kids wanted me to ask you if you will be their daddy because their current father lacks that certain appreciation for computer games that you obviously have.
