The Start of a Tradition

Or at least a common occurance:

What I Did Today Instead Of Working

1. Made this list
2. Read several webcomic (list to follow when I'm bored again)
3. Posted on FO
4. Read the 'Geek
5. Lurked on several other forums
6. Finished reading The Apocalypse Troll (decent read)
7. Stared into space
8. Ate large amounts of candy
9. Planned my time off
10. Called the Source about my game order

Hrm... I'm going to have to be more specific in the future if I'm going to do this regularly.

The previous notwithstanding...

I'm probably going to link here. Actually, I already have. So that was a little redundant. I'm not going to point out the links here.

So... still at work. Or at work again, depending on your point of view. I think I go by the former. Work takes so much time from the day. The majority of the tme I'm not at work, I'm asleep. So really, if you're defined by what you do, then I work. Or waste time. The latter is probably the most accurate of all. Hence my updating here instead of actually getting work done.

On an actual blog-worthy note, Kevin is loaning my a company copy of Fury of Dracula to use over the holidays. My name is on page 29 of the rule book. It makes my day better just thinking about it. So I'll be able to get a game in with the family before Christmas, which will be nice.

I've been thinking about purchasing Descent: Journey's in the Dark after I finish my Christmas shopping. It's too expensive for one of my siblings to get me as a gift, so I'm safe on that front. But I think it'd be something fun to play over New Year's. I could just borrow it from Jason, but if we each have a copy, then we can even larger dungeons. Or I could just resign myself to the fact that our group doesn't really need more than one of a game so I don't need to buy boardgames anymore. At least not unless I get them as soon as they come out.

Of course, I can take that $80 and apply it to a Gameboy DS. I have to admit the idea is appealing.

Lunch time.

First Post

Well, here it is. My blog. Let's see how long it takes for people to find this without being linked here. I'm quite excited about this.

But before I am run away with my feelings on this subject, perhaps it will be advisable for me to state my reasons for keeping a blog -- and moreover for coming to the Internet with the design of selecting a blog, as I certainly did.

My reasons for blogging are, first, that I thikn it a right thing for every person in easy circumstances (like myself) to set the example of blogging in his community. Secondly, that I am convinced that it will add very greatly to my happiness; and thirdly -- which perhaps I ought to have mentioned earlier, that it is the particular advice and recommendation of the very noble thing whom I have the honour of calling my imagination. Twice has it condescended to give me its opinion (unasked too!) on this subject; and it was but the very Sunday night before I went offline -- between webcomics, that it said, "John, you must blog. A man like you must blog. -- Chuse properly, chuse one for my sake; and for your own, let it be an active, useful sort of service, not too pretentious, but able to be customized in good way. This is my advice. Find such as service as soon as you can, put it online, and I shall visit it.

I could go on, but that reeks of laziness. I harbor no illusions that anyone reading this blog will get the reference above, but it amuses me. Besides, I'm still at work and should by all rights, be working. Eh.
