I’d Like To Say Goodbye To My Free Time . . .
Posted in Computer Tech on June 23rd, 2008 by RyanThe weekend was full of quality overtime spent finishing some writing projects, and it’s probably a good thing that they’re done now. My wife gave me an Xbox 360 for my birthday (wisely withholding games until the weekend was done), and now I can see GTA IV and the Orange Box (my first two selections) eating up the formerly productive home time.
For a good long time, there wasn’t a modern console in our general living area - there’s an old Genesis moldering in the closet, and I occasionally fire up a PS1 to remember the good old days of the Pittsburgh Steelers under Kordell Stewart (such magical times - the mental equivalent of suffering a Theismann injury), but I know what kind of time drain I face when I’m around these things. I can probably justify it a bit as research into video game music, but that’s a hollow reason. It’s just time to accept a bunch of wasted time.
I wonder if my wife know she may never be able to use the big TV again?
Most reasonable people shy away from blogging about their day jobs, and I’m going to go ahead and stick by that rule.
