Quick Edit: List of games in said box:
I'm still thinking about making a wooden case (as others have done before) but for the time being this seems to fit my needs. Silly as it sounds there's a lot less stress on my back which I'm a huge fan of as the number of games I was carrying was getting a bit silly. However with this carrying case and it will be much more portable. Equally I can carry more board games as well (Catan expansions for starters, the size of the box was difficult to fit in my bag along with my other games). The only games I still can't freely carry are Quelf, Risk, Guesstures, Munchkin, Manacala, and Monopoly. I'll get to the drawing board on that but first I have to pick up my new activity...knitting.
I realized that if last year was anything like the previous year that my two main expenditures (aka want spending) would be video games and board games. Video game spending isn't too difficult to control as I have a lot of the steam games I want and for the most part I only buy games during sales. However board games are fairly easy to purchase as their price is static and all I have to do is jump on amazon and confirm my credit card number. I'm finally understanding what people mean by 'swipe and forget' as that has happen at least once. So in order to pacify that I decided to pick up various hobbies.
The harmonica I got was a good start and a bit random I must add but appreciated none the less. Next I've found a few audiobooks that fit my fancy (some how I'm still enjoying The Hobbit more than Lord of the Rings, at the end of the 2nd book so far), along with actually books. Right now reading through 48 Laws of Power and need to give my A+ book some attention. Knitting I had given some thought but hadn't sold myself 100% to it as of yet. I must admit I do enjoy watching people do constructive things (drawing, painting, knitting, etc) though the final product makes me shrug mostly. The construction, admiration, frustration, and other elements is what I truly find...neat. I'm gonna start off doing what I did for the harmonica and look up some youtube links and go from there...hopefully a month from now I'll have some interesting creations and techniques down. Cooking was the other choice but I declined on that one mainly because I know that overtime it could increase to silly amounts cost wise...ya I'm cheap leave me alone.
The week thus far...?
Fairly busy at work, I was able to locate someone to fix the printers at work so that was a plus and the past few days have been filled with absurd amounts of business from taking on more work. For most of the work that I do there's no real 'dead line' so its a matter of getting tickets done as soon as possible and moving on to the next. The amount I've learned thus far has been crazy and I'm sure the next (if necessary/possible) SQL position I take I'll be able to adapt quickly. Haven't had much sleep this week though ended up getting 4 hours last night...not sure what that was all about. Starting to think I should start exercising again just to make sure I'm exhaust before going to sleep. I do intend to bring my 20 lbs weight upstairs and get a few reps in before rest.
As for the rest of this week.
Not a whole lot plan. I'm thinking about adjusting myself back to solitude again as my last attempt wasn't all that great. I still plan to attempt hanging out with friends but over this past weekend a thought struck into my mind about moving out. One person distinctly came to mind who had been living by themselves for a good 2 years now and seem fairly content with life. I recall I was the same a few years ago and lost that element. Starting to think if I find it again then stick around my dad's place won't be too bad. I already decided that by the time I'm 30 I do plan to move out but by that point I'll be more than set. Then again its hard to tell if my train of thought won't change at that point.
I've already conclude that if I do move back to the West End that one group of people I usually hangout with will be 30 minutes away, so the option of hanging out with them will be increasingly limited. If anything I would have less people to hang out with as a result of moving back to the West End. Though I would have a handful of friends near by but I'm not sure how often they would be free to hangout. The possibility that I maybe feeling more lonely as a result of moving is a bit pressing. I will need additional time to ponder. I must admit though that there is a great deal more things to do over their then there is here...I plan to sleep on it soon otherwise I may over think it (as I do with most things).
One positive thing though is I have gotten adjusted to living at my dad's place. At first I thought I would have the whole 'disappointment' and 'pride' issues but overall it hasn't been to bad. I'm sure I've gone over this subject before but for the most part his not hear much and I pretty much have the house to myself. Then again it does make me wonder that if I wasn't here would he be at the house more....for stuff. Its hard to say which is the reason why I feel I should go ahead and move out. Bah back on this topic again.
Right the rest of this week... work I'm sure will keep me busy and it will be Friday sooner than I know it. This weekend I don't see much plan if anything I'll spend part of it knitting, reading, minecraft and some random game that needs attention. The weekends are so short lived now lol. Wouldn't mind getting some HoN in but that's now the top of my list. I plan to do something that will keep me happy though as this weekend is my monthly caffeine benge. I'm really hoping AMP is on sale to give me a good case of the jitters if not I already have plan b ready in the fridge with a bottle of diet pepsi max. Only really got it so a friend would have some way to pay me back. Though I looked at the caffien levels and I would much rather have an AMP. If I have to drop $5 on 2 AMPs sure but I much rather would not.
Actually after staring at my list of steam games I might just have a Recettearathon. Its been far too long sense I played it and starting a file eventually seems necessary. An Asian game with a silly grind may do the trick plus it would be a -1 on the list of steam games to finish. The more I contemplate over it the better it seems.
That's about it for the time being. Going to head upstairs and acquire that extra rest I need. Perhaps it will let me plow over the thoughts a bit better. Anywho night all!
