I promise, this one isn’t about Oblivion, or video games in general. But it was the impetus for this thought pattern, so bear with me… As I’ve already lamented, I’ve been tending to spend an awful lot of time playing Oblivion lately. Sometimes several hours a night. I had been very seriously thinking about voluntarily … [Read more…]
So, did I follow through on my plan for the evening yesterday? Finish up work? Check. Go to Trader Joe’s to get some food and some wine? Check. Eat some dinner? Check. As can be seen from the photo last night! Drink some wine? Check. First glass with dinner. Bust out the MachineDrum? Check. Make … [Read more…]
On a day as beautiful as today is, how can a person possibly be expected to concentrate on work? Between IM’ing all morning, and taking a walk every 10 minutes all afternoon, I’ve gotten sod all done today. Talk about the perfect day to finally un-rack my MachineDrum and sit out on the patio making … [Read more…]
I’ve certainly been slowing up on my postings here lately, and, when I have been posting, it’s generally been superficial nonsense about video games and whatever else. There are reasons both known and unknown, which I won’t belabor about or speculate on right now, but I hope to get back in the swing of things … [Read more…]
Between Apple releasing Boot Camp, which enables dual-booting OS X and Windows XP (or Linux) on an Intel Mac, and the new Parallels Workstation, which allows running Windows or Linux (apparently at near-native speeds) from within OS X, (and rumors that this functionality will actually be built into the next version of OS X) I’m … [Read more…]
Well, it’s nice to finally be home at a reasonable hour for the first time since I moved. Perhaps I can actually get some unpacking done today! Maybe finally fire up Oblivion again. Already sat down for a nice, relaxing dinner and am kicking back with a glass of wine right now and catching up … [Read more…]
Just checking my horoscope for this month at Buddhist Astrology: This month you are empty of planets but you have Uranus and Mercury running in opposition for 12 days and then Venus and Uranus for the next 12 days. I would focus on your wisdom and awareness. Although astrology may play a role in your … [Read more…]
Okay, this one is really nerdy… I read today about the lowest frequency “sound” ever measured, being made by the oscillations of a black hole in the Perseus galaxy cluster. The sound waves (if they can truly be called sound at all) travel through the gas and plasma that surrounds the black hole. Sound is … [Read more…]
Got the last of my stuff out of the old apartment and into the new one today. Thankfully my sister was kind enough to come over and help me finish today, because I am really sore today, and my knee is still causing me a great deal of pain (no idea what happened there!) Also … [Read more…]
Whew, am I tired. Regrettably, I didn’t get everything moved. There’s still two or three car loads of stuff to go, but I was just too exhausted to continue. Plus, both my left knee and right hip and really sore. It’s fairly painful to even walk at this point, so any further moving is out … [Read more…]
