snow creed

Snow is great. the light in here seems a bright as it is in summer thanks to the snow reflecting it all in the window. i have more energy than i've had in ages. i'm listening to my dancy playlist and bopping around the place. it's great.
but there's one problem. the chapter i'm editing at the moment is meant to be depressing and that is the last thing i feel right now and i don't want to get into that mood. i don't want to put on some sad music and kill my energy buzz.

I'm playing assassin's creed II at the moment. it is 20 million times better than the first game (and that was a game i played and finished twice). the game play is more advanced, the story is way better (it actually has a story, as opposed to the first game where it was a series of the same scene over and over with a different target) there's more to do - around the cities but also outside of the main story (like renovate a whole town, manage finances, do extreme-mini dungeon crawls, read loads of back-story). It's fantastic. I think i'll be playing this game for ages. Mostly because i am a completionist and i want to collect all the collectibles and get every piece of armour, do up my house and clear every marker from every city.
I also like the way it staggers the stages of learning stuff. It shows you how to do something and lets you get really comfortable with it before introducing more stuff. and if you forget something there are loads of hints that pop up to remind you of things.

So that's it really. i had a really good christmas at home and down in kerry. went to ross bay with the kayakers for new years (and went for a walk along the beach at 1:30am - the moon was full and shining on the snowy hills across the bay - it was beautiful).

right - need to get today's scene done.
