A little while ago I was convinced that I would never enjoy a game again. I remember being really worried that I had grown out of them, and then I just couldn't find fun in it anymore. I am very happy to report that I am having a huge amount of fun playing games lately.

I'm tired and don't want to write. This does not lead to a well written entry.

Today was Easter brunch at work and I carved ham and salmon for 270 people.

The purpose of these writings... these entries, as I've come to call them, has been something that has always been kind of implied, and not really ever explained, explored or talked about, and I guess it's because the reasons change over time, and the purpose isn't entirely clear, but I think it's safe to say the main purpose is to take somewhat of a snapshot of my life, what a day in the life of Jordan was like on this day in this year. What I was doing, playing, watching, listening to, feeling. What work was like and how it made me feel, and not quite as often, but what is going on in my personal life. It's these things that are important to me; I don't really care if no one is reading now, and I know almost no one is, but it may be even more interesting in the future, it may be interesting to look back - years from now - being able to look back to see what was happening, in detail, will be very interesting.

I should be writing, I should have words flowing from my fingertips; I sit here feeling empty and numb, although I occasionally turned and pet sleeping Marle and she makes a little noise and I smile inside.

But I don't want to go to work.

As everyone saw, yesterday I spent some time creating a message board, then adding features and fixing problems with it throughout the day. In total I probably spent an hour or so working on it, and I'm pretty happy with the results. As per Tony's request, a UBB style to the board is about 90% done, and it's built into the script, you just tell it which style you want to use. There are a few things I need to add before I can actually start letting people use that feature though, and I'll probably do that later today.

Last night both Anthony and myself decided to go out for an hour or two, leaving Webkore completely unmanned. I think that's the first time we've really done that actually. For those that don't know, we have a respond-in-30-minutes-or-get-a-refund policy, so it's kind of a big deal with we miss a ticket.

When I got home from the bar I checked tickets and there were none. We rock!
