May 24, 2014

Today at work I finished reading Grave Secrets by Annette and Gina Cascone. I liked it. It reminded me of Goosebumps books, were was my favorite series growing up. I also continued reading the Stephen King book and started reading another book fair book. I would list the title but I can't remember it and I don't want to dig the book out. Other than that, my workday was pretty boring. Which is generally a good thing at the theater, at least in terms of patron satisfaction. A busy day for me at the theater generally means a lot of annoyed patrons.

Tonight I played video games, something I haven't done in awhile. I started with Trials: Fusion. Just long enough to start feeling it in my fingers. I like being able to play forever with a mouse and keyboard and not regret it days later. I like the feel of a controller in my hands but my hands and arms can't take it for very long any more. The precision of a mouse is also nice.

The second game I played was Tera. I have gotten to the point where I don't even pretend to read the quests, including the main storyline quests. In the beginning I was interested in the story but then I got caught up in the grind and I just want to go out and kill mobs, find loot, and level up. Reading quests and storylines just slow me down. Tonight I visited a new location, killed a bunch of stuff, completed a few quests, and leveled up. I would say it was a pretty productive night.

I've been watching a lot of Minecraft videos recently and I have an incredible urge to get back into that game. It has been at least a couple months so I'll need to update all my mods, something I don't look forward to, but after that I'm not exactly sure what I want to do in the game. The last big thing I made was a nice house with a big garden and a tree orchard. I abandoned the stables because my animals kept disappearing, which also kind of defeated the purpose of the giant aquarium I made. So I will probably stick with build stuff and plants. But I'm not sure if I want to continue working with my garden, possibly setting up fields for each plant rather than just a row or two, or if I want to set off in a random direction and build another house from scratch, just for something to do. Sometime this summer I need to jump back in.


Tomorrow I want to do stuff. I want to finish a couple cross stitch patterns, look into classes for grad school, and play some video games. And maybe some other things, whatever those may be. We'll see if I can accomplish any of it. I would like to start this summer on a positive, productive note.
