Well you have been on my friends list for a few years now I believe, so wouldn't just delete you for no reason. Plus I enjoy chatting with you too.
Sounds like a good trip overall. When I flew to Texas I only had about 30 minutes to reach my connecting flight so I had to get off one plane, and literally run across the airport to the next plane :/ I took a train back though which was nice. Bought the ticket that gives me my own private room so I just played SMT IV a lot and enjoyed the scenery. No wifi connection so couldn't get online but was still fun.
Sounds like you are moving up the ladder! It's always a great feeling to see how much your hard work has paid off. I'm happy for you. Would you like to work at the cooperate HQ eventually?
Guilty Gear is fun, but it's more geared towards advanced players. A lot of moves/buttons to memorize, and even on easy mode that AI will throw you in the air and have a combo fest.
Odin Sphere was great, again it's more or a button masher type game, but I really enjoyed it.
I went last weekend to the Poke meet up at the Chicago Botanical Gardens. Was fun but the heat/humidity made us cut it short. Met some new people though and we wanted to get together again today since the weather is much more favorable. However I had to send in my phone to LG to have it repaired and it's not back yet, and since I saved their numbers on my phone I had no way of contacting them. Just showed up real quick at the meeting point we arranged and told them about it so they didn't think I was just ignoring them or something. Should receive my phone back next Tuesday.
Have to drive my brother to the Airport tomorrow, something to do with his work at FEMA. They always have him traveling all over the country.
