What's Rocked:
Fable 4 news!
Just got a fitness club in town only 10$ a month.
Enjoying the mod suite Bethesda has introduced to Xbox.
Finally got my surround sound up and running with one remote.
Taking visceral for anxiety and it's doing wonders for my mental health.
Met up with an old friend from my school days and had a drink he's going to help me get my Pc and invited me to join a D&D club.

Whats sucked:
Been couch ridden for a while and only just now getting better.
Both cars need to go to the mechanic.
Lost faith in Bungie as developers.
Have some sort of joint pain in my left ankle and an unusual high heart rate might have to see a doctor about it.
Currently penniless.
