Sorry about the information blackout for the last couple of days. I finally got my internet installed, and I've been kind of a slouch the last day or so (mostly nursing the mother of hangovers). But no more!
I said goodbye to an old friend of mine today. Computer games are now part of my history, but not my future. I have deleted all my computer games, blocked every game website, and told my roommate (who has a massive compendium of awesome games) to keep his games away and to keep an eye on me in case I slip up. When I was just a kid, I was the only of my friends to not get a Sega Genesis, and that cruel slight might account for how much I've wanted to desperately snatch up computer games since, even though the experience is unfulfilling for me. I realized (after I spent 12 hours playing Crysis the other day) that there simply isn't enough time for computer games anymore. If I want to accomplish an actual paradigm shift, something trivial and distracting like computer games need to be the first to go.
Very pleased with another development, the procurement of some duplicate keys for the apartment. Now I can actually leave the apartment to do errands, job interviews, exposure to natural light, etc. I'm sure you can imagine how frustrating it is to rely on roommates to be home to let me in, etc. etc. I lost them when I got spectacularly drunk the other evening, punched some kind of wall (or so I believe) and lost my keys. Not only is this behavior embarassing (This is my first week with new roommates- what will they think?!?), but it's sad, because I don't remember most of what happened, nor do I remember Machete, the movie we all saw that I was so excited for. Lesson learned: Don't drink so much; hey it's cheaper and better for me, too!
On the plus side, however, I got a lot of facetime with some great friends and some new friends this weekend, so I'm feeling pretty good about that. More to come!
