Reality sucks!

I can’t seem to wrap my head around work today.  I have so much to do, yet I find myself staring out of the office window or down at my keyboard searching for an escape of some sort.  I am listening to a Celtic CD that I purchased through iTunes and I am blaming it on the gorgeous compilation of notes that whisk me away to that special place in Ireland that I want to be: the rolling green hills.  Medieval fantasy movies have always been my escape from reality and I often find myself dreaming of dirt roads covered by bright green trees that lead to beautiful open fields of flowers with a castle in the distance, calling me home.  I know, I’m a grown woman but the magic that I believe in will not die…reality sucks and it is nice to escape now and then.  Some say it isn’t healthy or it’s childish but let me say this – Since when is worrying about if I can pay bills this month, or am I going to be able to feed my family or reading the news to see who died in the war today, healthy?  I know it’s the world that we live in, but…do I have to?  Thank God for imagination.  I pray that more and more adults can find theirs.

 I recommend this album to anyone who enjoys a relaxing sound or an escape to Ireland (for free)!

Dragon Age: Origins

 

This game looks so amazing!  The graphics are absolutely breathtaking and although I don’t know very much about the storyline, it’s safe to say that I will be pre-ordering this game anyway.  I love fantasy RPGs!  From the videos that I have seen so far, online or on the XBOX 360, it really could be nominated game of the year…at least by my assumption.  By the way, don’t let this poster fool you – she’s one of the many character choices.  It’s available on November 3rd and you can pre-order!  Check it out at: http://dragonage.bioware.com/!
