Deliver us not

One of my W.O.W. accounts expired.  Oh the temptation to not renew it.  I'm going to though, right away.  That's just the way it is.

For now at least.

Just another post

Do you ever take a moment at the end of the day for quiet contemplation?  Stop right now.  Don't think about anything...

How was it?

If you weren't able to do it, what can I say.  Stop living in fast forward!  

Finally at around 10pm tonight I...  renewed one of my ICC accounts and played a few games of chess.  How was it?  Rusty, but I wouldn't say terrible.  There's still hope.  Unfortunately I still don't like losing.  But I get lots of practice at it, so maybe some day it won't be so bad.  After all these years, odds are it will always be bad.

W.O.W. this weekend was a bit like drilling a screw into the wall... only missing the wall and somehow getting it into your head instead.  There were some high points, so overall I'm not unhappy about it.  But damn does it drive you crazy.  

Hope you had a great weekend!

The sound of Saturday

It sounds nice outside this morning.  Can you hear it?  I know, the sky is dreary and grey.  It looks like it's going to be another rainy day.  Still, it sounds nice.

For every day, there is a beginning.

Welcome to Saturday.

Ed.

or something like it

It might sound sad, but I'm looking forward to going to work today much more than I'm looking forward to the weekend.  I'm really not looking forward to the weekend.  Why?  Wow!  It continues to be a struggle to coordinate all the people for the weekend raids.  Even more so now that the nicer weather is upon us.  

Tom called me this week to ask me about playing in the club tournament in June.  Practice.  I must get back to chess.  

I also read this morning that World of Warcraft: Wrath of the Lich King has gone into closed alpha testing.  It sounds like that will be a definite release later this year.  

Enjoy your Friday,

Ed.

Back to good

Today we're going to see 69 degrees.  Wow!  What ever happened to giving us a while to get from 50-70?  Right now it's really nice out.  I think it's in the high 40's.  Beautiful early morning coolness.  I kept my window open a bit last night.  It was great!  As for me, feeling much better today.  Look out world.

Have a good one,

Ed.

Another night it's gonna be a long one...

The agony continues.  I'm not sure why, but it seems much worse from late evening to mid-morning.  I went to bed around 11 tonight... at least I thought I did.  I woke back up at around midnight.  At first I thought it was my alarm clock.  It was making that almost clicking sound that it makes right before it goes off.  Constantly.  

I tried to ignore it for a bit.  Then I realized that it was warm.  Not a good sign.  Finally the clicking got to me enough that I got out of bed to listen.  The clock was quiet.  That figures.  Source of the clicking:  unknown.  So I go back to bed and take off some covers.  Maybe that will help.  It helps for a minute, but then I get an upset stomach.  You know what that means...

It's going to be a long night.

I hope yours goes better!

The Stomach Thing

There must be something going around.  My stomach has been terrible since Sunday night.  I managed to work just about a full day at work today... thanks to bowling night!  And I did bowl.  I don't remember the exact scores, but the were 200+, 200+, 190+ and I ended with a 607 series.  About half way through the last game the stomach pains started.  Hopefully it doesn't last too long.

I need to get my taxes done tomorrow.  As usual, I can't find a thing.  Everyone tells me not to wait until the last minute.  After all these years, I think it's a given.  

Here's to tomorrow!

Stress Relief?

I saw an article today that starts like this:

A new study of computer gamers has found that a session in front of World of Warcraft can make players less stressed and more calm.. 

Excuse me?  I can only come to one conclusion myself.  Noobs.  The computer gamers they chose had to be a bunch of noobs.  

Enjoy the week!

Better than the last?

I hurt my back yesterday.  I don't know how I did it, but I'm pretty sure that it's real and not imaginary.  I'm eyeing that bottle of advil with much affection.  Ok, I have to leave really early (for me) today.  Getting up at 6am isn't my normal thing.  

And so another day begins...

Maybe this one will be better than the last.

Have a good one.

Ed.

I will

Uncertainty and the great unknown.  Isn't that both the pride and sorry of the life we lead.  Once again we have come to the season of change.  Will this one be better than the last?  I hope so.  Small changes are the victories for which I currently aspire.  Victory may be but a state of mind, yet it is that state of mind for which I seek.  

Looking back I would have done a lot of things different, but to do it all over again I wouldn't change a thing.  But tomorrow, most certainly, I will.

Until then,

Ed.
