Nothing much happening, other than feeling frustrated when I don't have enough time to finish an activity in Red Dead Redemption. I want to finish some side quest, check the time, and start the activity. I have misjudged the amount of time necessary for the activity, pick up speed, get sloppy, and boom - start over again with even less time. Then I try to complete a section of the task and save using the camp fire save point. When I return to the game, I don't restart at the campfire, but at the nearest owned house or room. That means that I will have to travel through territory that I might has just travelled through - frustrating.
I hope I can make some time to finish more of the game.
We shall see
For as long as it's needed, I'll keep closing this way. Please check out a good organization that's providing aid in Haiti and make what ever kind of contribution that you can afford.

Day Three Hundred-two: Evening of June 3rd 2010
I was just watching a program on the Military Channel about Coast Guard snipers and how they interdict narco-terrorists by shooting out the smugglers' go-boats engines. That is a very impressive act considering the number of forces working against the shooter. I'll have to catch the ending of the recording later this evening or tomorrow morning.
DVR (Digital Video Recorders) are boon to watching interesting shows later on. The ease of use comes from the menu driven controls and a hard drive for storage. Once you get familiar with the cable providers' menu structure (sometimes daunting), your only limit is the size of the hard drive which contains the recorded shows as files.
Something has just come up, and I'm probably going to pull an 'all-nighter' putting labels on envelops for a school activity tomorrow.

Day ThreeHundred-one: Evening of June 2nd 2010
Like I said yesterday, a lot of time was spent running errands, but on the return from one I stopped in at f.y.e. (for your entertainment) store in the Loop just off of a Brown Elevated Line station. I had seen a advertisement for a Nintendo DS puzzle game called PICROSS 3D. The goal is to discover what the hidden form contained in cube. You can chip away from the cube based upon a set of clues. It reminds me of the Windows mini game Mine Sweeper, where you identified where the mines were by removing the non-mine squares. The difference here is it is three dimensional and the object contained in the large cube isn't a collection of randomly generated squares but an abstraction of an real object. It sounded interesting, I know my daughter likes puzzle solving games, and the price was reasonable, so I picked up a copy. Hopefully, we'll enjoy it.
We shall see.

Day ThreeHundred: Evening of June 1st 2010
I checked out my progress and, after completing the Mexican missions, found that I had completed approximately sixty-five percent of the game. I've received seventeen percent of the awards. I am moving along.
I wouldn't last very long out in the forest areas. I get cocky and the next thing I know is a grizzly is turing me into a rag doll and dead simultaneously. Later I began to use my hearing act as a early warring system. It helps but I was still ambushed by some cougars (big cats) and some massive bears. Taking out a charging bear is a bit harrowing, but using Deadeye and taking the bear head on.
Well that does it for now. The next couple of day will be duty packed, so I'm not sure what condition I'll be in at the end of t he day.
