Things
Wurf. Tired.
Work's been busy lately. There's just no downtime with looming deadlines and projects. I thought things might ease up after the new phone system is in place, but no such luck. New computers to mobilize and cope with (some software isn't fond of 64-bit systems), old systems to decommission, current stuff to inventory. Plus all the usual little daily stuff that comes up. I'm not working 10-hour days, but my days are pretty full.
Perhaps our last measurable snow of the season last night (that remains to be seen), and there was a power outage in the area to accompany it. I actually still had power, but it killed my internet connection for a few hours. So I watched a couple anime episodes before finally turning in.
I've been glancing at reviews and I think I may give Dragon Age II a pass, or at least pick it up later. There's naturally much comparison to the original. A story that's more political than save-the-world? Well, that's sort of a nice break, but I've already read that the (generally good) quests lack the cohesion of an overriding goal for the main character - no main villain and no strong motivation. It sounds like combat may be a little more to my liking, but what really made me pause was the comment of one reviewer that indicates the game plays more like a prologue to a story, with no real conclusion. Sometimes that's good, but in this case I don't find the idea terribly appealing.
Still holding off starting The Wise Man's Fear. Maybe next week... but then, I may not have much time to read at work, even at night. We'll see.
And I'm pondering other post topics, but with the hint of a headache, I think I may just lounge a bit and try to relax.
Edit: And (WoW) that didn't take long. Our guild member who bailed about a week ago seems to want back into the guild. o.o;
