But, I’ve been thinking lately.

I don’t know why I’m in the writing mood. I have a lot on my mind (with the wedding and all) but I go through phases.

Anyway, Wyoming is tolerable in the summer / spring. It’s beautiful, for sure. I don’t think anybody would dispute that. We had a chance to see some of the state outside of Casper and outside the I25 corridor.

We tripped out of town for a few minutes a few weeks ago, just to see this reservoir. It was pretty.

It’s something we’ll be doing more of throughout the summer, no doubt.

But winter?

Winter is something else here. Not because it’s cold because, I mean, eff that right? I can deal with cold.

It’s the fact that from late September, early October through early / mid / late May it’s cold, that concerns me. Doing another Wyoming winter — skipping spring and fall, basically — is going to be difficult. I’m used to seasons. I enjoy seasons.

We’ll see what happens.

Case in point: I logged about 6 hours on X-box last night.

I’ve just been really tired … we’ve been running around since we got out here and I’m getting to the point where … most of the stuff we need to get done, is done.

We’ve both got jobs: Erin at a design firm in Casper and me at the newspaper, so we’re definitely two steps closer to stability.

But Erin’s parents bought me this nifty little toy so damned if I want to do anything but smoke people in Call of Duty: World at War. Which is why I was playing for like six hours yesterday.

Either way, it means I haven’t been writing as much in my journal (a habit I’ve fallen out of) and less blogging (even though I blog at work).

I’d like to say I’m going to take a break from video games for a bit but as we get settled I just wanna have mindless fun.
