Holidays

Happy Turkey Day for anyone reading this I missed on Thanksgiving.

My posts may become somewhat infrequent now that the holidays are upon us (as I'm sure the reading of this blog may be more infrequent for the same reason). Well wishes to all, and I will be back posting more when I can better compose my thoughts for viewing.

How Busy Can I Be?

Being busy is usually a poor excuse for not being social. I mentioned before that one guy I know didn't go to a party because he had laundry to do. That's just silly; the clothes will be there when he gets back. At his/my age, nothing so small should get in the way of a party (I can't speak for those older than me; maybe it actually does get in the way if you have 18 loads to do). Sometimes, though, things really do get in the way.

After helping my Mom move, I hurt my back. In fact, it's not quite better yet even now (I guess I ended up aggravating it later on). That put me out of a few activities involving going out, and I didn't even want to call anyone.

The Pathfinder/D&D game takes up serious time as well, because while we meet up twice a week, there is more involvement when running a game as I do.

Upgrading to Windows 7 took too long for me to finish up, and cost me more money than I needed to spend. Short version; the Netgear website said that Win7 didn't have drivers for my wireless adapter, and Windows itself confirmed this (along with the MS compatibility website). After my own brand of troubleshooting, and growing impatient, I decided to get a more modern adapter. After setting that up (which had its own eccentricities), and downloading the latest update, lo and behold, my old adapter gets drivers. So, as of now, I'm double wireless.

Working nights... sigh... I don't want to get far into that. Just know that I end up making up for lost sleep on my weekends (12 hours of sleep yesterday), and it's an easy subject for anyone on the shift to expound upon.

TV shows take up more time than I expected them to do; at any one time, I watch at most 16 shows a week (9 hours, in other words). While those are downloading, I have several websites I keep up with, and a few of those are also video sites with weekly updates.

I can't neglect the video games. I've been frugal with nearly all purchases of any kind this year, and games took a big hit when I got a new car. As a result, most of my game playing has been current catalog stuff (which is, still, hundreds of games). Taking a look at my room, most of the space has been taken up by games.

For something somewhat related, and a way to end the post, I will somehow grab a hold of this game and play it like crazy.

Hiatus

I had a short break from internet access, so this blog was neglected. I will put in some effort to bring it back up to speed, now that I have it back (no thanks to Windows 7).
