wonderful, the patriots are going to win the frickin super bowl again. lovely. what a depressing end to the season. it's not even going to be a good game to watch - it'll be like watching a lion eat a baby rabbit on the national geographic channel. you stare at the screen for about five seconds, say 'ugh.' and flip over to something less disturbing and brutal. a lion. or a liger.

i beat the minish cap while waiting for my server to reboot sunday night. it ended up being shorter than i'd expected - whereas your typical zelda will have between eight and twelve dungeons, this one has six. but it was satisfying, there were plenty of new elements that added a lot. the lack of a magic meter at first was a little startling - but then being able to use a lantern whenever i wanted was solid. and (finally) they added some new attacks. normally, hey, you're link, you run around with a sword and you have the slash and the spin attack. but they brought back the down-thrust from zelda II, and they upgraded the spin attack so you can pretty much whirl around the room for 30 seconds and kill everything in sight, like a tornado or swords and teeth. and fingernails. all in all the replay value on it will be high. i wish i knew 3 other people with GBA's that liked zelda as much as me - i really wanna play the cube's four swords. apparently minish cap is a prequel to that story.

so i'm trying to figure out if i'm going to stop leading young life at the end of the year (june). i've talked with a lot of people about it and been praying and i feel pointed in that direction. we may be moving out of western hills, although hopefully not too far because i want to keep going to lifespring westside - in fact if i were to leave younglife i'd step up what i'm doing there. it's just highly cool what's going on at our church - the westside location has blown up from a handful of people to being as big as the other services lifespring holds and they're really leaning on the community impact stuff. i'm getting to meet a lot of people and see some people i've known from doing younglife get welcomed into a really loving and accepting family. so yeah. still thinking on it.

need to find renee a better school to teach in, though. glen este is stressing her out way too much.

guess ill get back to work.
