On Vacation and WoW is EVIL!

Well, it's been quite a while since my last post, largely due to my laziness and not having much to write about.

I just recently went home to Sacramento to visit family, with an initial detour to Disneyland! We had sooo much fun at Disneyland! The kids were great, despite the huge holiday crowds, and really enjoyed every ride and sight there was to see. We especially liked the Buzz Lightyear shooting ride. It was especially cool because we were given the option to email the ride picture to our email address, complete with our high score! We also went across the street to California Adventure, Disneyland's more thrill ride area. Soarin' over California, California Screamin, and Tower of Terror were excellent rides!!

After Disneyland, went spent time with Juri's and my family. The kids were happy to see their grandparents again and it was good to see our parents too. This time, we kept our visit home short so that we aren't driven crazy by them. It was a great idea, because we are already ready to go home now! I'm writing this entry from Juri's parents and we go home tomorrow.

So, for the second half of this post. Juri's brothers are all possessed by the power of World of Warcraft, the latest craze in the Massive Multiplayer Online Role Playing Game genre. While I am a RPG fan myself, I've never thought of the MMORPG subgenre to be particularly exciting. It seems to suck so much time away from your life, and I have precious little time to spend on something like that. Well, Juri's brothers cannot escape the power of WoW. In fact, one of her brothers is laying on the floor, bored to death, while his other brother plays the game, because they only have one copy of the game so they cannot play at the same time. Instead of doing something else with his time, he idles away, hoping to get some more time in before he goes to bed. If he had any homework to do, it isn't accomplished. Her middle brother just graduated high school and doesn't have a job or plan on going back to college. I just don't think the game is healthy for relationships and life. Funny to hear that from a gamer like me.
