I have had a strange week. Not so much in deed or event, but in emotion and intellectual turmoil. My mind is running in circles and yapping at its tail.
New Year’s eve itself was nothing too terribly special, time spent groping good friends, called my mom at 2AM, that kind of thing.
When we first got back from Texas, I ran around town looking for Super Bubble Pop, the new puzzle game for gamecube, but couldn’t find it, so I ordered it from Amazon. It’s pretty fun. A new twist on the genre. I also ordered Ballistic, another puzzle game for the gameboy color, (I played it in texas, it’s fun!) and the Afterburner, an install-it-yourself backlight kit for the gameboy advance. And then today, the day I get the afterburner in the mail wouldn’t you know it, Nintendo announced the new style gameboy, which is backlit, and folds up into a 3″ square when not in use. It’s coming out in March here in the states, so I’ll probably have to get one. (We’ve been debating getting a second gb to play linked up anyway.)
After new year’s, I skipped out on working the last couple days of the week, and lazed about, ostensibly sick at home. Unfortunately there was some truth to it, as I was fighting off some kind of flu I made worse by Scuba diving.
I’m going to write a novel. That’s my new year’s resolution. So far I really only have a theme (and about 2000 words). I was at first hoping that plot would just sort of develop itself, but now I realize that doesn’t actually happen in the universe in which I exist. I need to at least plan something out and aim it in that direction. I just haven’t gotten around to deciding what that plan will be yet.
I think I’ve procrastinated blogging for the past week because I really really desperately wanted to get my about page all up and working, but I didn’t actually want to tackle the work that would take to accomplish. Well, I started tackling it yesterday, and to install the blogtimes plugin that I wanted, I’d have to also install at least two perl modules, so that’s either on hold or dead in the water. I still have yet to begin the process for MTWordStats, but at least I’ve already downloaded and am resigned to installing the two perl modules for that one. (It’s more word-related, so I’m willing to work a little harder at it–understand, I thought the blogtimes plugin would be easier to install, that’s why I tried it first.)
The only other news is work related. My boss has found a new job, and is leaving sometime in the next two weeks. She has been one of the only things keeping this job tolerable, (notice I didn’t say enjoyable), so I have no idea how things will change when she leaves. Wish me luck.
