I really hate when things don't work correctly. Given the choice between an inconsistent technology riddled with features, and one that works all the time, but does fewer things, I'll take the latter every single time. That said, Windows Vista is an example of 'does a ton of neat stuff, when it works'. Now, fortunately, Vista 'just worked' for me for about 6 months. I didn't have driver issues, I didn't crash, I really didn't have any problems at all...until last week. Long story short, let's just say I've reinstalled the operating system on my computer now, and everything appears to be mostly in order again.

The soccer team I coach has reached the state playoffs two years in a row now. Our first game is this Friday, and I'm a bit nervous. I know the girls can win this game, which is part of the reason I'm jittery, I suppose. If it looked like it was going to be a blowout, I could accept our fate, and go in just looking for respect. With a possibility to move on, though, the situation changes quite a bit...the pressure is on, so to speak.

I'm anxiously awaiting the arrival of a box of Through the Dark Portal that I ordered last week. I am thinking of entering the WoW TCG Regional Qualifier this December up in Portland, and so going through my deck options when I find time.

That's not very often though - Team Fortress 2 is still awesome, and now that we are playing on custom maps, I shudder to think of the amount of time I'll spend on that game when the soccer season ends.
