Excessive

A typical day off entry, I'll write about how I was lazy and relaxed and how I sat around playing games... expect the expected!

I woke up at a good time I think... pretty sure it was around 10:00am or so, I can't really remember. I got up, decided to play a bit of Ratchet and Clank until I got hungry, and then made a pretty good breakfast, of scrambled eggs, toast, bacon and hashbrowns. Oh yeah, and coffee... gotta have coffee with that, even though it's like 45 degrees in this apartment. Breakfast was good, and I watched the last episode of the Shield season 2 while I ate.

The majority of the day was spent in my pijama bottoms, rolled up to above my knees, with no shirt on, sitting on the couch with a fan on me, playing games. I started Uncharted 2, played Ratchet and Clank, Final Fantasy 13 (snore)... guess that's about it really, the day seemed to go by really fast so it feels like I should've played more than that, but... well, I played Phantom Brave after dinner.

During the day, I skipped lunch after that big breakfast, and did a couple loads of laundry. It was too hot to move around too much, and too hot to have the computer on... my laptop was just on, with the screen on sleep, and it was hotter than when I play games, which is hot, and it was just burning up... I figured it'd be best to just keep it off when it's this hot, because it literally burned me when I touched over where the heatsink is.

As the day went on, I noticed it was already getting late somehow, even though it felt like the day had just started. I figured I should have dinner, which I decided earlier that it would just be a good sized salad, as I wasn't too hungry and the heat kind of made me want to destroy my oven and stove. So I just had a nice plate of mixed greens, cherry toms, mushrooms, radishes and red onions; threw some ranch on there and it was pretty good. I watched Star Trek: TNG while eating, and enjoyed the episode.

After dinner, I played some Phantom Brave, and pretty much spent the whole evening playing it, but it wasn't... fun. I think I got a game over three times, after thirty minutes to an hour of game time, it was really frustrating, pretty sure I shut it off in frustration and then just went and sat back down five minutes later, after I had cooled off (not literally). I guess it was fun in a weird way, and it was kind of karma, because I was trying to get cheap levels, by exploiting a game mechanic to an extent. Essentially trying to get fast levels, but at the risk of getting a game over, and I just didn't luck out ever, which is what was frustrating. I do have a plan on how to do it better... and the game itself is pretty fun.

I have so many games on the go right now, that it's too easy to let one or two slip by and forget about, but on these days off, I try to cycle through most of them, and at least do one or two things in each one. Super Mario Galaxy hasn't been touched in awhile, and it's been a week or so since I played FarCry, but that's somewhat related to the whole laptop running hot with this heat and all. Also, playing Uncharted and having a lot of fun with it didn't help my ability to play a bunch of games, since all I wanted to do was play Uncharted. Uncharted 2 seems really good so far, super awesome cinematic opening, but you are still in control of Nathan, so you are moving around and these amazing things are happening around you. The visuals also took a big jump, especially the character models. I'll write about it more as I play it, but so far so good.

Tomorrow is going to be balls in the face, I know it's going to suck. There are two breakfasts, four lunches (one of which is a plated lunch) and then two dinners, a buffet and a plated. There is no way I'm going to be able to leave on time... There is just no way that all of that is going to get done without me running around like an idiot, sweating, getting a headache, being stressed out. I hope that there isn't unexpected retarded bullshit that will get in the way and stop me from being organized, but there always seems to be. Like Jeff will expect one of us to go to the meeting even though we have these NINE YES THAT'S NINE events happening. I have somewhat of a plan in mind for when I go in and start work, but a lot of the time those kind of fall apart. Also, tomorrow begins a (probably) four day streak of work, probably 10 to 11 hour shifts. I'm sure I'll be mighty frustrated by the end of that streak, and I'm going to call it now and guess I'll get one migraine and two headaches by Monday.

It's been so hot lately, it's hard to do anything really, all I want to do is lay around on the couch and not move. I need more Shield to watch, cause that provides me with an excuse to just lay on the couch, but games are almost as good of an excuse, it's just frustrating when you spend a god damn hour making progress and then lose it all, multiple times in one night!

So I guess that's about it for now... I'm going in to tomorrow knowing it's going to be complete bullshit, so I guess I can't be too frustrated when it actually comes true. I don't look forward to staying late, coming home, being tired and feeling like shit, having a frozen dinner and having no time to do anything at all... but I guess that's life.

I did some money calculating today... well, not really, I just recorded the debt totals that my Mom sent me so that I have an idea of what I owe, it's hovering around five thousand right now, and by July 5th, it will be two thousand higher because I have to pay tution this month in order to go back to school... with that, having to pay off my laptop by the end of June, and the rest of my debt, this is the time, this is when it all comes. Since going back to school, I've maintained a good amount of money in my bank account, it felt like a safety net of sorts, and it's nice to go to the store and never have to think about if you can afford something, I just get what I want, what I need, what I feel like, and that's that, no thought. Now, all these debts are coming close, the time to pay them is coming fast, and it's going to empty my bank account, and I won't have a safety net, and I won't be able to just spend money when I need to without thought... it has me feeling... weird. I don't like it.

I guess I'll go now, maybe watch one more show and go to sleep, get ready for that retarded day that tomorrow is going to be.
