I read the article, How My Wife Ruined GTA IV, last night at work. Somehow I see myself as the "wife" and Rob as the author. I've watched Rob play that game a few times, and many, many times I've thought to myself, "why not take your sweet time and play the game like you would if it were real life?"

Then I realize, it's a video game. Of course they're made to take people away from real life.

My gut tells my my parents just bought a house...

If my gut is right, I need to find a house. I found a nice house in Minneapolis. Sure, the area sucks. I'll just install a security system and leave Tickie free to roam. I won't "live" in my house at night...for now, at least. Is that a plus side to being able to buy a house in a poor neighborhood.

I need a raise.

Oh, and my car's transmission went pooey on me.

My parents finally admitted they never liked my ex, Jameson.

That means a lot to me.
