Playing some Halo

So I've been playing some Halo 2 online the past week or so. I quit a long time ago because, well, it just wasn't fun any more. I'm not sure if it was the Timmies or whether I was just burnt out on Halo in general. You see, I played TONS of Halo multiplayer on xbconnect before Halo 2 ever came out, and then Halo 2 came out and I played a lot of that. I never got into Halo 2 as much as I did the original. I never learned any of the little BXR type glitches in Halo 2 like I did with Halo... and hell, I've forgotten most of those now, too.

However, I have had a lot of FUN playing online this past week. I've been trying to shake off the rust before Halo 3 hits the streets so I don't noob it up. Some games I absolutely blow and some I do pretty well. My sniping skills have not come back yet; maybe I'm too old now... but I used to be a decent sniper. :(

In other news, we had soccer practice today (I coach my daughter's team). I love how you can work on something all practice and then during the last 15 minutes we'll have a scrimmage and they will seemingly forget everything we were working on during practice. They're U-9 and we've been working on basic offensive tactics... they do it for a while and then sort of revert to the beehive. I love coaching them, they all hustle and try so hard and they have fun... and they have made a lot of progress during the past 4 weeks we've had practice. We're 1 - 1 on the season so far, but this past weekend we lost 6-5 to a team that beat us 12-0 last year. They have come a LONG way. I'm very proud of them if I do say so myself. :)

That's all for now.
