Some Words

I had achieved a level of non productivity that I had previously thought impossible. So, yesterday, I determined to not try to read, write, or handle any of the little chores that I had been telling myself I would do each day. This left me with very little of my regular routine, and it was soon exhausted. Normally, at this point I would play some video games, but a while ago I cut video games out of the picture because I tend to play them for absurd marathon lengths of time. Lacking something actually installed on my computer, and having played desktop tower defense to death the last time I felt like this, I went looking for something new.

The guy who does DTTD has a new site with flash games and I checked that out. What I found was that I lacked the patience for many of those games. Maybe I have seen through them, and now want more sophisticated games, or maybe I just can’t concentrate on anything anymore, but I played several games just long enough to learn the mechanics and then quit.

It was frustrating, and made me contemplate getting a copy of Civ IV, but I fear what that will do to me. The last time I played a Civ game, it was for an entire two day stretch. Obviously, that’s not something you want to get into just before grad school.
