I have not played a single minute of games since the weekend before Memorial Day. I'm almost halfway through Dead Space, and I have Bioshock (1) on the shelf, with Bioshock 2 and Uncharted: Among Thieves preordered, and I see a few good ones out there I would like to play (InFamous for example). This time of year, the days are long, the lawn grows, the weeds grown in the vegetable garden that needs to be watered, I'm putting a second kitchen in the basement, I have cigars that need to be smoked, beers that need to be brewed. I can't find time to turn on the PS3.

Today would have been perfect. It was cloudy, rainy, 60F, plain miserable for nearly July. I ran wire through the basement ceiling and built pantry shelving under the basement steps before stopping to give the parrots dinner and evening playtime.
