<p>It&#8217;s been a rough couple of days in addition to a rough couple of weeks&#8211;which will ultimately just be lumped into a rough couple of months in due time&#8211;and I just couldn&#8217;t find the time or energy to post something at <strong>Grinding Down</strong> yesterday. Sadly, all I think I&#8217;ll be able to post today is this little apology thing, which, I can only assume, is not very exciting to read.</p>
<p>That said, <em>immediately</em> after work today I&#8217;m swinging by the local GameStop to pick up <strong>LEGO Harry Potter: Years 1-4</strong>. It&#8217;s my official purchase of the month for June 2010, and I&#8217;m excited, even if some reviews I&#8217;ve read recently complain about it being buggy; others said it&#8217;s more or less Potter perfection. Either way, it&#8217;s a game I need, and despite the guilt festering in my heart, I&#8217;m going to get it and play it and enjoy it as much as possible. The plan is even to cover the first hour of gameplay for, well, <a href="http://firsthour.net/">The First Hour.</a></p>
<p>Fifty-eight minutes to go, and then I&#8217;m off to another world, escaping yet again, <em>flick and swish&#8230;</em></p>
