My sense of time passage has become very skewed. The hours at work seem to drag on forever. My evenings during the week are gone before I know it, as are my weekends. In the back of my mind I think need to get a post up, been a few days.
And that's where the problem is. I keep thinking it's only been a few days or a week. When I sat down to write the Sims Saturday post yesterday, I was honestly surprised that I hadn't posted anything for almost a month. But, with my body running hotter than normal due to my 24/7 bun oven, it's often difficult for me to spend much time in our computer room.
That means less gaming and less blog posting. Yes, yes, we have a laptop, which is what I'm typing on right now. But then I don't have access to all of my screenies and such. Plus, there was something about physically sitting in front of my computer desk that tied to my motivation and muse.
So, anywho, here's a bit of an update.
I haven't played very much WoW since I completed Loremaster of Eastern Kingdoms. I really want to finish Kalimdor before Cataclysm is released, so I keep hoping I'll have enough time yet. I even missed out on my favorite in game holiday, Midsummer Fire Festival. My baby draenei priest alt got to complete the fires of Eastern Kingdoms thanks to Gertbee's chopper and patience to drive me around. I still had to split that up into 2 separate sessions… and I procrastinated until the last weekend of the holiday before finally going on.
I had planned to take several characters around to honor/piss on fires.
I've also been playing some Sims 3 Ambitions. I like it and find the new professions fun: ghost hunter, tattoo artist, stylist, firefighter, architect, etc. Again, haven't been able to play as much as I'd like due to being hot (only so much the A/C and fans can do for that room, I'm afraid), but it's been entertaining.
Then there's Facebook “games” again. After a 5 month hiatus from touching any of them, I started playing FrontierVille and Family Feud. I was playing them daily. Recently it's slowed down again. I haven't touched Family Feud for a couple weeks and it's been about a week for FrontierVille. I must say though, FrontierVille is a huge step up from FarmVille and is moving in the direction of being more of a game than just clicketyclickclick.
At some point I'll be able to spend more time in front of my desk again. But for now, most of my internet connectivity is via my iPhone or the laptop… that way I can lounge on the couch, put my feet up, and have a fan blowing on me. Ahhh, bliss.
(Sidenote: And of course, you are always welcome to find out what's going on IRL with the spawn-on-the-way. Although, I don't write on that one nearly as often as I'd like to, but it's more frequent than around here lately.)
