Oh, Lisa, I’m so sorry to hear about your Gong-Gong. I’m going through a similar experience with my grandpa, who is also far enough away to make regular visits quite difficult. I’m sending you lots and lots of love!

Going back and reading recent entries I realize I failed to acknowledge your new header, Lisa. I love the color and simplicity and lightness it depicts, and it is very fitting for where you currently are in your life. However, I will always love the collage in your original header. It said so much about who you are/were at that time when you were not living out of a suitcase:) You are having to switch identities and I image this might be part of the mourning process you mentioned yesterday. You are walking the fence between yesterday (yourself in California) and today (the footloose girl untethered to place. Boy, freedom gets complicated, doesn’t it?

[...] two months, yet, does anything ever really feel like it happened until you have written about it? Lisa says she’s noticed that she doesn’t really see things until she has drawn them. I know [...]

I spent the last two hours reading your blog. I didn’t rlealy have the time but couldn’t stop reading. Your blog is informative, clever, and even profound at times. You are one smart lady and talented enough to put your thoughts into words. I don’t know weather to thank you for the two hour distraction or not. I am now way behind on the start of my day. Yes, I want to thank you. I don’t come across many women who has something worth saying. I will visit again.

L’ho coatmrpo, l’ho coatmrpo! Questa mattina mi sono precipitato al media markt e ho preso the conduit!Devo dirvi solo una cosa: FANTASTICO!Allora, io i voti li do dal numero 1 al numero 6 (qui in Ticino cos ).Grafica 5,3 su 6: Grafica davvero fantastica, le texture dei personaggi di ottima fattura, mentre quelle dell’ambiente sono un po’ ambigue. Pecca per la amncanza di stile, es: certi nemici sono inguardabili (sono di un rosso con riflesso verde nauseante). Il forte della grafica di questo gioco il gioco di luci (scusate il gioco di parole) che esso contiene, l’illuminazione della pelle del protagonista (la mano fatta allo stesso livello si quella di bioshock) delle armi e tutto il resto fantastica! Pregevole anche la fisica in generale.Sonoro 4.9 su 6: Le musiche utilizzate sono un po’ piatte ma riescono comunque ad emozionare nel modo giusto. Ottimi anche gli effetti sonori delle armi: molto realistici.Multiplayer online 5.9 su 6: Il mioglior mutli online per wii. Non me la sento di dare il massimo dei voti perch la parfezione impossibile da raggiungere. Finalmente quando si enrtra a fiocare online ci sar anche qualcun’altro e quindi i tempi d’attesa per iniziare una partita saranno brevissimi! Fantastico!Controlli 3.3 su 6: Il reparto controlli sicuramente il lato peggiore del gioco. Sono disastrosi e anche frustranti; ma una volta capito che si pu modificare i controlli a proprio piacimento questo andicap svanisce almeno parzialmente.Longevit 5.3 su 6: Il multiplayer online non fa altro che rendere alta la longevit . In singolo il gioco bello, ma pecca di una trama obsoleta.Giudizio finale (non una media) 5.5 su 6: Gioco fantastico sotto quasi tutti i punti di vista. I talloni d’Achille di codesto gioco sono la scarsa qualit dei controlli, la trama ed infine la mancanza di stile nel reparto grafico/stilistico. High Voltage ha dimostrato di credere nel Wii, e ha anche dato la prova tangibile che questa console (se spremuta) pu raggiungere ottimi livelli grafici. Sia chiaro che non potr competere in un killzone 2 o in un Halo 3, ma rimane una gioia per le nostre insaziabili pupille! Consigliato a tutti. Grazie per la lettura: djmario

Very sorry to hear about your grandpa, Lisa. I remember Tisha’s transition and how beautifully you and Erick allowed that experience to be, and the ensuing emotional toll it took on you. I would expect losing Gong Gong to be no easier…… Change is difficult and the grief and mourning you are experiencing at being separated from your home and community, to be expected. Just when you start feeling more comfortable though, you will take off on the next segment of this adventure. Hopefully you will be somewhat more prepared for the onslaught of strangeness and it will be a little easier each time. I think what you and Erik are doing really takes a lot of courage and I know you will emerge a stronger and more resilient young woman. Trial by fire, so to speak.:) Thank you so much for sharing all this with us, both the ups and the downs – and know that you are loved wherever you are!
