As I said yesterday I need to post more, I like writing and my blog has for a number of years been a creative outlet for me. But recently I’ve found it hard to write anything. This being in large part to my ongoing failure to connect with the world. This year I need to get myself back on track, work out what I want to be doing and actually get it done. Rather than just coast along doing stuff that I find simple.
I have found that I’m losing my temper more often than I used, not seriously in a shouty rage kind of way but more in a generally despairing at the world and the intelligence of those in it. I need to calm down on that one and remember I’m as much of an idiot as all the Audi drivers out there. In my mind the driving of an Audi pretty much puts you into the moron category… It’s terrible I know.
Meanwhile my kitten, he’s my kitten when he’s being bad, is still a crazy ass mofo and is causing Amelie severe levels of stress. Mostly because she can’t seem to grasp the concept of hitting him really hard on the head. But it’s getting to the point where we’re probably going to have to get rid of him. Which is a shame since between his bouts of manic attack kitty energy he’s a cute little fur ball. Sometimes I think it’s because we don’t play with him enough, our other cats all had each other to play with but that’s not working out as well in this case. It’s all rather sad.
Work on ‘I Can Has XP’ has stalled, again, mainly because I can’t get the enthusiasm to write any and partly because I haven’t got a regular gaming group going. Plus I think there’s an echo in my head, or I’m suffering from deja vu.
Meanwhile the country gears up for a general election on a wave of apathy. Everyone tries to work out which of two piles of venal idiots to vote into power whilst arguing that no one else can be taken seriously. I really shouldn’t think too hard about such things, they just depress me.
I got Dragon Age for [winter gift giving holiday] which is really cool, but as it’s on the PS3 I don’t get to play it as much as I’d like (I.E. all the time I’m at home) as other people want to watch TV. Still my PC wouldn’t actually be able to run it so I’ll take what I can get.
GUGS starts again next week (apparently, feel free to tell me I’m wrong) so I shall see if I can get an adventure of XP written somehow… Hmmmm.
Anyway, that’s enough random thoughts, perhaps tomorrow I’ll have a plan. Oh yes, side note, I’m reading Game Night again. It’s still a very funny book, which if you haven’t read and don’t want to buy (shame) can also be found serialised on EN World.
