The Mind Is A Dangerous Place

Things that should boggle the mind but do not

Thursday, August 23, 2007

I think I am in trouble. I mean, there's my assignment due the following Tues. And another one due 2 weeks after that. Alright, it doesn't really sound like trouble. I mean... a full month for 2 assignments does sound like ample time. But in retrospect, its not nearly as clean-cut.

Well, there's work. I go to work in the day and come back exhausted. Its the moving about and constant flow of customers that drains the body. Plus the goin to bed late and waking early bit as well. But there's 9 hours gone like that.

Then... there's Robin Hobb. Her books... are addictive. I'm at the 3rd book in her 1st series. I read the 1st one 4 days ago. It's damn addictive. I sit to do work, but then the eyes stray to this god-forsaken cover with that damn Fitz's face staring at me, imploring me to pick him up and just sample his pages. Like the whore he is. Bastard. In all senses of the name.

And where would we be without games? Ahhh... games... bane of every person's productive life. That and Youtube. But I digress. This isn't just a game. No no, this is Persona 3, where children shoot themselves in the head with a pistol to summon up a demon that throws fireballs at walking gloves. It is very very fun, and addictive as hell. The chances of me playing it and not doing said work is high indeed.

Of course, there's all the socializing, the lack of socializing, the moaning and groaning and just plain laziness.

But let's blame the games for now.

Anywaes, am attempting to do some readings while listening to Yoko Kanno's RO2 soundtrack (which is divine). I shall endeavor.

After page 400. Damn Bastard.
